A monthly English pub quiz for Dutch bars
Students, expats and international workers love a quiz night, but most Dutch quizzes are in Dutch. This one is written in English, ready to host, in your bar's own branding.
Who it's for
Amsterdam, Utrecht, Delft, Rotterdam and Eindhoven all have English quiz nights. The bars running them write their own questions or hire a quizmaster. As far as we know, nobody else in the Netherlands sells a monthly English quiz pack.
I host this quiz myself every month at Barkeet in Eindhoven.
- Its own edition, put together for an international crowd
- No Dutch TV trivia, so nobody at the table is left out
- There is a Dutch edition too, if that fits your guests better
Different rounds every month
There is no fixed line-up. We change the rounds every month and play into what is going on: a World Cup, Halloween, that month's news. A few rounds we have played:
Real or Ridiculous
Recent news headlines. Which ones really happened?
Right Behind You
A photo taken with your back to a famous landmark. Which one is behind the camera?
Block Party
Famous characters as stacked blocks of colour. Who are they?
Cover or Original
You hear a song. Is it the cover or the original?
Cheaper or Steeper
Absurd things you can actually buy. Is the next one cheaper or steeper?
Guess the Airports
Three letters, like FCO or JFK. Which city is it?
Codenames
A round that works like the well-known board game.
Company Opposites
Brand names flipped: "Macrohard" is Microsoft.
Well-curated rounds
- This is not a home quiz with a pile of random questions. Every round has its own idea, and within it we mix question types: multiple choice, open, picture, estimate, put in order.
- Difficulty varies within every round. The seasoned quizzer gets the tough ones, and the table that came for a fun night scores points too. Everyone gets their moments of success.
- Every question and every answer is checked before it goes into the pack.
- The host script has a bit of background for every question, so your host can tell more than just the answer.
Fredric Baur designed the Pringles can. When he died in 2008, his family honoured his last wish: some of his ashes were buried in... what?
A Pringles can. His children bought it on the way to the funeral home and briefly discussed the flavour. They went with Original.
Tips from experience
We run this quiz ourselves every month and know what brings people back. You get that experience too, in the playbook, and we think along with you.
A consolation prize
A prize for last place, so that table goes home with something too and comes back for revenge.
A hall of fame
Keep track of every month's winners, on the wall or online. Teams come back to get their name on it, or keep it there.
Smart promotions
Offers that make teams book again for next month. We look at what fits your bar.
