this past year iv been not only DJing but i have been doing Quizzo for two of the Applebees locations. iv been doing it for a about a year and its grown to be quite successful and popular. it also has really helped my DJing business.
last year around this time, Easter or so, my brother had a friend that worked at Applebees as one of the night time managers. he told me brother that they were looking to bring more crowd in during the week at night, really wanted to bar seen to build up. He also told my brother that they are looking for a DJ to play music and do Quizzo for about 3 hours at the end of the night. he asked if I was able to do that. when i first heard about DJing there i was all about it but when i heard that we had to do Quizzo too i was a little nerves. I've never done anything with trivia before and i wasn't sure if i could do it.
Well about a week later i talked to my MC and we figured out a way for us to do it. he would say the questions and take care of the scoring and i would do the music and controlling the volume up and down. about a day after me and him talked i started to make rule sheets up and score cards. i did a lot of research and really looked into how other bars are doing quizzo and i took a little from everyone and made up my own rules.
the way that the game is played like this. Theirs three rounds, each round has 10 questions that are worth 10 points and a bonus question at the end of each round worth 25 points. At the end of each round each team has to hand in there score card for that round and we tally up the points and the winner of that round gets prizes and a gift card. Each night at the end of the game the team with the most points from all the rounds put together wins and even bigger gift card and a shirt.
when we first started people didn't really know about it and it wasn't a big thing, but now that we have gotten better at it and have more stuff like bonus questions and double questions it has really become a fun night. just now we are starting to have themed nights. last month we did a 80s night. It was a Hugh night for us. The Applebees store match there black Friday income in just 4 hours. next we are looking at a doing a 90s night or a disco night. I'm really proud of what we have made it to be and I'm looking forward to seeing how did it becomes.

Only thing you're missing is the location of the stores you're doing these things in. ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lot of fun. There's a restaurant near my house that does Quizzo, but I never really understood it. It seems like a nice way to spend an evening. I may have to give it a shot.
