5 Reasons a Live Game Show Beats a Pub Quiz for Your Team Event
Pub quizzes are fine. They fill a room, offer a few questions and usually end in a pint. But if you want something that actually builds energy, gets everyone involved and makes your team event memorable, a live game show wins every time.
Here’s why a corporate game show beats a pub quiz hands down.
1. Everyone Gets Involved
In a pub quiz, it’s always the same three people answering every question. A live game show brings in physical rounds, team shout-offs and bluffing games that pull in the whole group. Even the quiet ones get stuck in.
2. It Feels Like a Real Show
You’re not just sitting at a table with pens and paper. You’ve got buzzers, lights, a host in a gold suit and full-on audience energy. It feels like a proper production because it is. That makes a big difference.
3. It’s More Than Just Trivia
You don’t need to know who won the 1994 FA Cup to do well. In fact, your team will win rounds by solving word puzzles, bluffing, guessing prices or shouting over each other to hit the buzzer. Trivia’s just one part of the chaos.
4. It Builds Actual Team Energy
Pub quizzes are passive. A live game show is active. You’re up, laughing, shouting and competing as a team. It works better for bonding because it’s more than just sitting around and waiting your turn.
5. It’s Something They’ll Talk About
Anyone can say “we did a quiz.” Not everyone can say “we played Carrot in a Box and nearly fell off our chairs.” A live game show creates moments your team will actually remember, not just tick off the calendar.
