Trivia night can be the perfect opportunity to bond with your friends, share a few laughs, and learn a few new facts. Playing can be fun on its own, but winning can make the night even better. If you're looking to take home a victory, you have to choose which friends to invite carefully.

How to Assemble a Winning Trivia Team

1. Recruit a Variety of Talent

When building the perfect team, look for team members who are knowledgeable in a variety of genres. Seek out individuals who are well-versed in popular subjects such as pop culture, movies, and sports to ensure your team knows a wide range of topics. Invite your friend who majored in politics and your roommate with an eclectic taste in music to cover your bases. 

2. Prepare Ahead of Time

triviaWhile it's against the rules to look up answers during a round, studying beforehand can give your team an advantage on game night. Encourage your teammates to look up headlines and current events.

Research web trends, the latest movies, and celebrity news. Consider doing daily activities that exercise your brain, like completing crossword puzzles or playing trivia apps. You can also watch TV shows such as “Jeopardy!”® or “Wheel of Fortune”® to keep your mind sharp.

3. Choose People You Enjoy Being With

When selecting your teammates, look for friends, relatives, and even colleagues you enjoy being with. Egos, conflicting personalities, and even poor sportsmanship can take the fun out of an otherwise enjoyable evening. Remember that the point of trivia night is to have fun, and while winning is exciting, it isn't everything.
