Why quiz nights are great fundraisers
Low overhead, high return
Ticket sales, food, drinks and a raffle can turn a single evening into a significant fundraising result. The entertainment cost is fixed and predictable.
Community-building
A quiz night is social. It brings supporters together in a way that a donation appeal or online campaign cannot.
Repeatable every term
Once the format works, you can run it every term or every year. Many schools run quarterly trivia nights with growing attendance.
Questions
Frequently asked
How much should we charge per ticket?
Most school and club quiz nights charge R80–R200 per person, often including a meal. Raffles and a cash bar add significantly to the total.
Do you provide prizes?
We don't supply prizes, but we help you structure prize categories. Ask local businesses for sponsorships — many are happy to donate a voucher for the exposure.
Can the quiz be themed?
Yes. We've run general knowledge, sports, music, school-history and decade-themed nights. Themed nights often sell better.
How many people can a quiz night accommodate?
We host up to 250 guests, subject to the selected package, venue and event requirements confirmed in your quotation.

Testimonials
Rated 5.0 ★ on Google by South Africa's Trivia Community
Baie dankie aan jou en die span vir al die harde werk met die klank deur die hele konferensie.
Van die eerste sessie tot die laaste, asook die Trivia-aand, het alles seepglad verloop. Dis maklik om goeie klank as vanselfsprekend te aanvaar, maar ons weet hoeveel werk daar agter die skerms ingaan om dit reg te kry.
Baie dankie vir julle bereidwilligheid, professionaliteit en ondersteuning deurentyd.
Julle het 'n groot bydrae gemaak tot die sukses van die konferensie.

Thank you very much to you and the team for all the hard work on the sound throughout the entire conference. From the first session to the last, as well as the Trivia evening, everything ran seamlessly. It's easy to take good sound for granted, but we know how much work goes on behind the scenes to get it right. Thank you for your willingness, professionalism and support throughout. You made a big contribution to the success of the conference. It was a pleasure working with you again — we sincerely appreciate it!
