Keep your patrons, staff and trivia host safe by providing touchless trivia events at your establishment
As bars and restaurants start to slowly open back up after having been closed, many are wondering how the trivia landscape may have shifted. After experiencing virtual trivia nights, we think there will be a much broader appetite to allow players to participate in games using their personal devices, while providing a more sanitary approach.
In the past there were concerns over potential cheating, now we think the advent of virtual trivia nights has shown us how trivia players come for the fun and not to game the system. We also know that players will be more conscious of keeping potential germ exposure to minimum, so by not passing and touching paper and pencil between dozens or hundreds of guests, you’ll be aiding in that as well.
Read on to see how taking your trivia night touchless can reduce the annoying tedious tasks and keep you focused on being an engaging (and healthy) host.
Online Player Answer Sheets
When you take your trivia night touchless, the primary thing you are replacing is the use of pen and paper to gather your player’s answers. Many trivia nights have continued to use pen and paper as their primary answer gathering medium as it easy and is supposed to deter player cheating.
With the introduction of virtual trivia nights and players playing from their homes, we think using paper to deter cheating just isn’t necessary anymore. And with everyone owning at least one smartphone, submitting answers from a web browser is just as easy as using pen and paper.
The other added benefit is saving paper and ink from printing out hundreds of answer sheets every year.
Automated Scoring System
With player answers coming in digitally, they can flow into an online system to help speed up your past manual scoring process. Gone are the days of trying to read scrawled handwriting in dim lighting and manually scoring and adding up all the scores from every team.
Automated scoring systems can take a scoring process that used to take 10 minutes, to just seconds. Algorithms that check free-form answers allow you to continue to use your standard trivia questions without the need to move to multiple-choice formats.
After scores are tallied, online leaderboards can be displayed to players on TV screens, or accessed directly from their phones.
Integrate Remote Players
The other great benefit of moving to a touchless system is that you can now expand your reach and integrate remote players at the same time you are hosting for your in-person crowds. Just start up a Zoom meeting or Facebook Live stream and allow remote players to play along with your in-person patrons.
You can even charge a small registration fee so that you are getting revenue from these remote players as well.
Data At Your FingerTips
With all of your teams, game answers and scores stored securely in an online website, you can now leverage that data for other purposes. Start your own trivia league with ongoing leaderboards to keep players coming back. Re-market to teams that gave you their information to get them back to your establishment with specials. Gather data around which themes players would like at the next game. Run reports to see how game are impacting your financial performance.
With your newly implemented touchless trivia system, the possibilities will continue to grow as to how you can leverage it to continue growing your business.
