“WHo are YOU?”

We’re Intelligence Check Trivia, and we have the questions to all your answers. whether you’re hoping to fill your bar with some smart guests, or you’re planning your next team building activity with your organization, there’s no question that we can help!

“WHy are YOU called intelligence check trivia?”

when a tabletop game player needs to prove how smart they are in order to overcome a challenge, that’s called an Intelligence Check. our GAMES haVE several homages to the hobby, our way of sharing our love for all things nerdy with our guests!

“How do I play?”

Intelligence Check is easy to learn, just like most other trivia nights, we’ll ask you some questions, you’ll tell us the answer, and if you’re the smartest group in the room, you’ll probably get a prize!

You’ll play 8 rounds of trivia over the course of about 2 hours, testing your knowledge in all of your favorite topics. With a wide variety of rounds, we recommend diversifying your party to cover as many bases as possible.

Why Book Intelligence Check Trivia?

We recognize that you’re one of a kind.

And so are we. We Don’t Copy/Paste Our Shows.

Your business Is Different From the one down the street, as are your patrons. Your entertainment should be unique as you are. We Tailor Our Games To Each Individual Location, Based On Player And Client Feedback. In Other Words…

“It’s not a trivia night. It’s your trivia night.”

We help market your business effectively.

We could go into detail about how we make a custom flyer to promote your trivia nights, and that we’ll post about your trivia night multiple times per week. But most trivia companies should do that. We take it a couple steps further.

We’ve developed multiple strategies to organically market our trivia nights with you. Our secret? We incentivize your patrons to follow your page, post photos and tag you in them. By the end of the first month of trivia, you could have an album of photos featuring your smiling regulars.

We have more, but we’ll leave it at that for now!

We don’t just read the questions.

The questions are only half of what makes a good trivia night. Each of our game masters are well-trained entertainers. We interact directly with your patrons, fostering relationships with them, further encouraging them to return week after week.

Oh, and we strongly encourage your patrons to tip their bartenders and servers. This is an all-out brag, but your employees will love coming to work when ICT’s going on.
