How to host an 80s trivia night

  1. Pick your rounds. Movies, music, TV and toys cover what most of the room remembers.
  2. Set up a music round. Play a few seconds of a song and have teams name the title and artist.
  3. Print your signs and answer sheets. Table numbers, team sheets and a scoreboard keep the night moving.
  4. Read from a script. A written host script keeps rules, jokes and transitions tight, even for a first timer.
  5. Score between rounds. Announce standings after each round so every table stays in the game.
