OneTwenty Video Game Quiz Night (interested?)

Hi *,

OneTwenty is organising a Video Game Quiz Night scheduled for sometime
late next month. Please let us know if you are interested in
attending. Preliminary details at:

- http://events.onetwenty.org/index.php/2007/02/12/did-someone-say-video-game-quiz-night/

Having a good estimate of how many people will attend will help us
decide on a suitable venue and also allow us to acquite prizes (the
more people, the better the prizes!).

If you have never attended a quiz night before, the basic format is
that each table has a piece of paper that they write answers on. At
the end of the night (or each round), these answers are collected,
scores are tallied, and prizes are distributed. There will also be
smaller competitions (maybe with people shouting out answers or some
on-screen gaming action!).

Like any good video game, the quiz night will be easy to play, but
difficult to master. Expect a wide range of questions from general
video game knowledge (eg. Mario is the mascot of which company?) to
rather hardcore.

Hope to see you all there!

- Nick

Hey Nick

I am in the process of starting a Games and Simulations Development Group at
Murdoch Uni. So hopefully if it all goes ahead, I will be able to advertise
this through the website, if you are interested.

Cheers

Adam

Thanks for the positive responses! Are most people planning on
bringing friends? family?

We are deciding on whether to go for a licensed venue. Aside from the
demographic (opening up the event to teens and kids), it's also a cost
issue. If we go to a pub, the cheap entry prices ($5) will be
overshadowed by the venue cost and the price of food and drinks.

On the other hand, somewhere like a community centre will be a bit
cheaper (more money for prizes) and we could probably arrange for
people to BYO food and drinks (so entry really is just $5). So it will
also be cheaper for attendees.

Thoughts? Preferences?

I don't have any personal experience with organising an event, but I know of three pubs that regularly run general knowledge quiz nights to attract punters (Morley Ale House, Capt Stirling, one on Canning Hwy whose name escapes me). Maybe if you can guarantee a turnout (pre-sold tickets?), you could negotiate no venue cost, and maybe even discounts on drinks?

Anyone who has actually organised an event before care to comment?

Re: [PIGMI] OneTwenty Video Game Quiz Night (interested?) I think the Quiz night is a GREAT idea.

In my experience with Quiz nights, it’s a simple choice.....if you want a great party atmosphere, it a pub. It solves al kinds of organisation, catering problems.

If you want to make it very affordable/open to kids, definitely a community hall.

I’m looking forward to this!

Andrew

All signs point to pub... although I get the feeling Paul just wanted
somewhere with beer. :P
