    Hey guys, very early stages of trying to organise a table quiz for the sports club. Thinking of linking in with a charity in hopes of getting some randomers in. Thinking maybe jigsaw or Galway hospice.

    I'm really looking for ideas on venues. Has anyone been to a table quiz lately that they really enjoyed? Also with spot prizes. Is this just a case of walking up and down shop street looking for donations?

    Thanks in advance
    G

    Friends of mine hosted a quiz in Kellys last year, Fr Ted quiz, they didn't think that many people would come but it was packed! They went to shops around town and got a few random things off each of them, Boots, Origin and Pennys were some of who gave prizes. Worked out to be a very successful night, but Kellys said that they needed at least 80 people attend the quiz or they would have been charged for the room

    Kellys worst of the bunch, imo. The Skeff/Monroes/Kings Head would be the best, I would say.

    DeBurgo's is a great venue for a quiz, it has zero mobile reception so no chance of smartphone cheating!

    Also you'll be able to host it on a Saturday and Sunday, other pubs might not want to give up space on busy nights like that.

    Been at quizzes in the Skeff, the Huntsman and the Oslo before. The Skeff was the worst by miles. They used a projector screen so the people hosting it had no input. I thought it really killed the atmosphere. Everybody was just staring at the screen....waiting. I like table quizzes that have an MC but, maybe I'm just old fashioned like that.
    Huntsman and the Oslo were both good fun

    Edit: Was also at some in The Office in Salthill and The Victoria Hotel. Thought they were good too
