Fundraising ideas

Ways to raise more on the night.

Trivia nights raise money in more ways than the ticket price. Here’s what works for schools, charities and clubs.

Tickets

Charge per team

Sell tables of four to six. Teams share one phone, so there’s no limit on table size.

Sponsors

Sell round sponsorships

Name each round after a local business and give them a shout-out every time it starts.

Round 4, brought to you by Rosie’s Bakery

Raffle

Raffle between rounds

Pause the game with one tap, draw the prizes, then pick up exactly where you left off.

Local

Add a local round

Questions about your school, club or town get the loudest cheers of the night.

What year did our school open its doors?

Picture round

Spot the volunteer

Add photos to any question. Baby pictures of the committee are a guaranteed laugh.

Every year

Make it an annual event

Save your game and reuse it next year, or start fresh from 50,000+ ready-made questions.
