Trivia Rules

These are the house rules for a fair, friendly night. The goal is simple: play honestly, have fun, and keep the game moving.

Teams

Teams can be any size, but very large teams may be asked to split if space is tight.
Enter the number of players honestly when signing in.
Solo players get 1 bonus point.

Scoring

Scores are raw scores, except for the solo-player bonus.
Team size is only used as a tie-breaker.
If tied teams have the same number of players, the written tie-breaker decides it.

Phones

No looking up answers during play.
No texting friends for help.
Use your device only for submitting answers or checking the trivia app.

Answers

Spelling usually does not count unless the question specifically asks for it.
The host has final say on accepted answers.
If a question has multiple valid answers, the host may accept any fair match.

Attendance Prize

Player count may also be used for a separate attendance prize or draw.
Each player can count as one ballot or attendance point, depending on the venue format.
This prize is separate from trivia score, so bigger teams are welcomed without changing the game.
