Who Invented Trivia Nights?

While people have been quizzing each other for centuries, “trivia night” as we know it today became popular in pubs across the U.K. and Ireland in the 1970s, then gained global popularity.

Known as quiz nights in the U.K. and trivia nights in North America, they’ve since turned into community staples — especially in bars, student unions, and charity fundraisers.

Now, there are entire companies and apps built around trivia (think HQ Trivia or Trivia Crack), with professional quizmasters, rankings, and prizes. But the essence remains the same: getting a group of people to say, “Ohhh, I knew that!” — or better yet, “Now I know.”

What Makes a Good Trivia Question?

The best trivia questions walk a fine line — not too easy, not too obscure. They usually have a few things in common:

  • A straightforward question that doesn’t require explanation

  • A specific answer that’s not open to interpretation

  • A topic that feels familiar — even if the detail is unexpected

For example, asking “What colour is the giraffe’s tongue?” is better than “Name a unique feature of a giraffe.” Why? Because it has a punchy answer (black or dark purple) and sparks surprise — the kind that makes you want to share it with someone else.
