Why a Trivia Night Fundraiser Works
High ticket revenue
Tables sell as a team night out. Dress-up rounds, spot prizes, and a leaderboard create the buzz that fills the hall.
Less volunteer admin
We bring the host, the quiz content and the app-based scoring platform. No marking, no answer sheets, no technology stress.
Repeatable format
A successful quiz night becomes an annual fixture. Parents, teachers, and sponsors know what to expect — and how to book tables early.
Questions
Frequently asked
How much does a school fundraiser quiz night cost?
Weekday school fundraiser quiz nights start at R2,500. Larger events or weekends with full production start from R3,500.
Can you help with themed rounds?
Yes. We can run dress-up, decade, or school-history rounds. Themed rounds are great for table photos and ticket sales.
Do parents need to install an app?
Yes — the free QuizXpress player app for iOS or Android. We send the download link ahead of time, and on the night guests simply enter the Game PIN shown on screen. Playing in teams means one phone per table is enough.
Can you add music bingo or a dance floor?
Yes. We can combine trivia, music bingo, and a hosted dance set into one evening — just like our Frans Conradie case study.
