Tips for a fun (not frustrating) trivia night

• Aim for questions most of the room can get. People come back when they feel smart.
• Mix categories so every table has a topic they own: music, movies, sports, food and a "5th grader" round.
• Start easy, then add a few trickier questions in later rounds.
• Read each question twice, slowly, and keep the game moving.
• Use a wager or double-points round so trailing teams can still win.
