The Team
Who's Behind Trivia Games
Owned and operated by Wayne Cecil and Jacques Arendt — a partnership built on professional entertainment and creative excellence.
Wayne Cecil
Co-Owner & Creative Lead
Wayne has spent years perfecting the science of fun — designing trivia formats, scoring systems and round structures that keep every guest engaged from the opening question to the final round. He personally backs every event with professional-grade audio, lighting and technical support, ensuring the production matches the calibre of the room.
Jacques Arendt
Co-Owner & Host
With a background in national broadcasting, Jacques brings the kind of on-mic charisma that turns a roomful of strangers into a roomful of teammates. His hosting style is warm, quick-witted and corporate-safe — equally at home in front of a boardroom of executives or a 500-person gala dinner.
Our Approach
Every event we deliver is shaped to your brand, your audience and your moment. From intimate boardroom team builds to 250-guest gala dinners, our standard never changes: polished, professional, and absolutely unforgettable.
We're based in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) and travel to venues across South Africa — by road or by air, depending on the event. Travel and accommodation are quoted upfront so there are no surprises.
Paperless Mobile Gameplay
Guests play directly from their smartphones — no pens, no paper, no awkward scoring delays. Live leaderboards keep the competitive energy high from round one to the final reveal.
Interactive Mini Games
We weave fast-paced mini games between trivia rounds — perfect for variety, momentum and giving every type of guest a chance to shine, not just the trivia buffs.

Fully Digital · Paperless · App-Based
What Sets Our Trivia Apart: No Paper, No Pens, No Hassle
Every game we host is fully digital and paperless. Guests answer on their own smartphones using the free QuizXpress player app — there are no printed answer sheets, no pens and no manual scoring. The result is a cleaner, faster and more professional event where every answer is captured instantly.
Because the format is digital, we can show live leaderboards, deliver instant feedback and weave in interactive mini-games that keep the room's energy high from the first question to the final round.
