Live Game Show Experience
Trivia Showdown
A live big-screen trivia game show styled like Jeopardy, with real buzzers, custom category boards, and every question written around your event. Teams face off round by round. The Final Showdown decides it all.
What It Is
Trivia Showdown is a fully hosted team trivia game show built for events. Contestants take their positions at dedicated buzzer stations. A custom category board fills the big screen in front of the room. The host reads each question, the clock starts, and the first team to buzz in earns the chance to answer. Points build across rounds until the Final Showdown determines the winner.
The format drives participation from every corner of the room. Teams at the podiums compete to buzz in fastest. The audience calls out answers, argues about guesses, and cheers for their table. Every wrong answer on a buzz-in opens the question to the competing team, keeping every round alive until the last second.
Every question set is written specifically for your celebration. Bar and bat mitzvah clients get a board built around the guest of honor: their favorite music, their parasha, their best memories, and general categories calibrated to the age mix in the room. Corporate events get company history, industry knowledge, and culture rounds that generate cross-team conversation before the first question is even answered.
Where It Works
Trivia Showdown leads with mitzvahs and corporate events, where a competitive shared moment pulls the room together. It extends to galas, fundraisers, and any celebration where teams and a live host belong.
How Long It Runs
A standard Trivia Showdown set fills a cocktail hour or dedicated party segment, typically 40 to 75 minutes. The set covers opening introductions, team selection, multiple category rounds, double-point rounds, and a Final Showdown finish. For larger events or back-to-back rounds with new teams, extended formats run longer. We size the run time to your event timeline at booking.
What's Included
Every Trivia Showdown booking includes the host, the full buzzer hardware, custom content, and complete setup and breakdown.
Real Electronic Buzzers
Contestants answer from dedicated buzzer stations. The hardware is fast enough to register split-second differences between teams, which keeps the competition honest and the audience watching every reaction.
Custom Category Board
A full category board fills the big screen: topics chosen and written for your event across multiple point values per category. No off-the-shelf trivia decks. Every question is yours.
Professional Live Host
An experienced MC drives the entire game: team introductions, category reveals, question delivery, ruling on contested answers, and the build to the Final Showdown. The host carries the room.
Multi-Round Format with a Final Showdown
Standard rounds build team scores across categories. The Final Showdown gives the trailing team a chance to catch up and win on the last question, keeping every team in the game until the final second.
Branded On-Screen Display
The category board, team scores, and question graphics are fully branded with your event name, logo, or theme. The screen looks like it belongs at your event, not like borrowed software.
Full Sound and Setup
The host works on a wireless mic with house-filling audio. The full rig arrives early, installs before guests arrive, and strikes cleanly after the set. No coordination required from your team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about adding Trivia Showdown to your event.
How many teams compete in Trivia Showdown?
The standard format is two competing teams of 4 to 6 players each, with the full audience watching and cheering from the sidelines. We can run more teams in a bracket format for larger events where you want more guests on stage.
Are the questions custom for our event?
Yes. Every question in the game is written for your event. For bar and bat mitzvahs we build a board around the guest of honor, including personal trivia, their favorite artists, and age-appropriate pop culture. For corporate events we write questions about company history, team culture, and industry knowledge. No recycled generic decks.
How long does a Trivia Showdown set run?
A standard set runs one cocktail hour or dedicated party segment, typically 40 to 75 minutes. This covers team introductions, multiple category rounds, a double-point round, and the Final Showdown finish. Extended formats with back-to-back rounds are available for longer activations.
What AV and space do we need for Trivia Showdown?
We bring the full buzzer hardware, the display system, and all sound. You need a projection screen or LED wall visible to the audience and a flat area for the contestant stations. We confirm placement and AV integration with your venue or AV provider in advance.
What happens if a team buzzes in with a wrong answer?
A wrong answer after buzzing in passes control to the opposing team for the same question. This mechanic keeps every question live until one team answers correctly or both teams exhaust their attempts. The host manages the ruling and keeps the energy from deflating on a miss.
