Drive midweek foot traffic, build a loyal weekly crowd, and boost bar revenue — with zero upfront investment. We bring the quiz. You bring the drinks.
OUR BRANDS
QED Imperium powers trivia experiences across languages, cultures, and cities — all built on the same proven platform.
Trivia nights are the highest-ROI entertainment format for bars, restaurants, and hotels. Here's why venues love working with us.
Turn quiet Tuesdays and Wednesdays into your busiest night. Average spend per head increases 40% on trivia nights.
Teams come back every single week. 85% player retention means a built-in crowd you can count on.
No upfront cost, no long-term contracts. Cancel anytime. We handle the content and production — you handle the bar.
Process
We assess your space, capacity, and vibe to design the perfect trivia format for your crowd.
QED Express for self-serve or QED Classic for a fully managed experience. Both start at just €100/month.
We promote, you pour. Watch your venue fill up with teams ready to play — and ready to drink.
Where We Operate
Active
A Typical Night
Classic: host arrives 30 min early for AV check and answer sheets. Express: 15 minutes, everything runs through the app.
Teams register via QR on arrival. First drink orders come in before a question is asked.
Classic runs 4 rounds over ~2 hours. Express wraps in 1 hour. Three breaks between rounds — each one a spike for the bar.
Teams debate answers, order refills, and hit the kitchen. Your highest-revenue windows of the night.
Energy peaks as the leaderboard tightens. Teams fully engaged — and still ordering.
Live leaderboard, prize ceremony, and tables already asking about next week. Dwell time after the event is real.
Two Formats
Your host, our content.
The full pub quiz experience.
New questions every week so your regulars never get bored. Themed rounds, seasonal specials, and topical categories keep it exciting.

FAQ
A minimum of 30 seated capacity works well. We've run successful nights in cozy pubs with 25 people and large restaurants with 120+. We'll assess your space during our venue visit and recommend the optimal setup.
For Classic, we bring everything — speakers, screen, microphone, and all AV equipment. For Express, you'll need a screen or projector and a basic sound system. We provide a detailed equipment checklist during onboarding.
Absolutely. Most venues choose Tuesday or Wednesday to boost midweek trade, but we can run trivia any night of the week. We'll recommend the best night based on your current trading patterns.
Trivia complements rather than competes. Many of our venues run trivia on quieter nights and keep live music or DJs for weekends. It's about filling gaps in your calendar, not replacing what already works.
From first contact to first quiz night typically takes 2 weeks. Week 1 covers the venue visit, format selection, and setup. Week 2 is promotion and launch.
Classic includes prize coordination — we recommend bar tabs, free rounds, or branded merchandise as prizes. For Express, we provide prize recommendations and templates but the venue supplies the prizes.
Yes. We offer flexible monthly billing with no lock-in contracts. If you need to pause for a quiet season, just give us 30 days notice. You can restart anytime.
Express gives you the platform, content, and scoring system — you provide someone to host. Classic includes everything in Express plus a professional QED host, full AV setup, and promotion support. Most venues start with Classic and some transition to Express once their staff is trained.
