We get asked all sorts of things about how the quiz is run, or how to organise one from scratch. Here are a few common questions along with some answers that may help you out:

  • FAQsCan we run your quiz package anywhere in New Zealand?

     We're nationwide, but in some areas we rely on you to run the quiz as a DIY option, after we supply you with everything, and liase with your host to ensure the night will run smoothly. Currently we can host your quiz in Whangarei, Auckland, Hamilton, New Plymouth, Tauranga, Rotorua, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, Queenstown and Dunedin.

  • Who do the questions cater for? 

    The questions are aimed at a wide audience - men and women, young and old, and are designed to cater for as many people's interests as possible. They're also not aimed at rocket scientists - rather, everyday people.

  • Do we organise the venue or do you?

    We can usually recommend a venue in your area, however we leave that side of it to you. We just need to know when and where, what time, what package you require, and how many teams you will have.

  • How long does the quiz take?

     A quiz can be run in as little as 90 minutes, or as long as 3 hours. Ideally though, you should aim for 15 minutes per round, so around 2 hours for the 8 rounds. This is obviously affected by additional activities, auctions and the like.

  • Can we set our own questions relating to our business or organisation?

    You sure can! If you want to do this, we suggest you add one question to each of our rounds, or perhaps theme 'The List' around your company or organisation. If we need to specifically tailor your quiz, additional charges may be applicable.

  • Do you supply any prizes?

    In short - no. We leave that all up to you.

  • Is it a team event or is it done as individuals?

    It's done as a team. All the answers are written, so maximum participation is guaranteed, and no-one is put on the spot, by having to call out answers.

  • How many should we have in each team?

    It really doesn't matter. Best bet is to have at least six teams, so if you have 28 people , do seven teams of 4, or if you have 100 people do ten teams of 10. Try and keep it as a level playing field as much as you can though. The more even the numbers on each team are the better.

  • What equipment do we need if we opt to run a DIY quiz?

     The multimedia quiz is run via Powerpoint Viewer, a windows based product - as opposed to a DVD format, so this gives you full control over the speed of the quiz. You wll require either a PC or laptop which has a CD-ROM, plus a big screen or plasma TV which all the teams must be able to see. You will also need a VGA/HDMI/S-Video cable aa which transfers the pictures to your viewing source, plus an audio cable from your headphone socket to your audio output (usually a sound system, or straight into the TV).
