Second Half

Second Verse, Not Like the First

Round 5

Before you read the round, do a quick revisit of the rules: No shouting answers; Use your noodle, not your Google. This is mostly for people who joined late (or aren't playing, and need to know/remember not to call out answers). If you don't have any big teams, you can skip mentioning team size. If you do have big teams, then make it clear to everyone you are aware there are big teams and you are enforcing the eight-person limit (or whatever the limit is for your site). 

Mention the fact that the Mega Round is in play for the second half, but don't get into it just yet. 

As with Rounds 2 and 3, read the name of the round and the full description before reading the first question of that round. Repeat the description or theme before you read question three or four, just to nudge them, as in, "remember, the round is called It's Not Easy Being Greeeeeeen."

Round 6

Mic Check

Verify the mic is working before it's time to start the game! Verify that you can play music long before the Sound Round! If you're subbing or otherwise new to the site, the ICOE (In Case of Emergency) doc should have a rundown of the setup.

Here are instructions on setting up a Trivia Mafia PA, and our AV Glossary on the types of cords, cables, and hookups that might be part of a house sound setup. Reach out to our AV Expert or the On-Call for the night if you need more support!

Prizes

Prizes are provided by the site, and are given out at the end of the game (though, a few customers provide a prize at the halfway point - this was standard in the BeforeTimes). 

Trivia Mafia stipulates the value but not the type of prizes that the customer venue provides; in most cases, it’s gift cards. But maybe you’ll have merch or other items to give away! First Place gets a $30-value prize, Second Place gets a $20-value prize; the $10-value prize can be given out at your discretion. Reward Third Place, or “Best Team Name,” or “Most Improved,” or “Third Worst,” or “Best Wrong Answer.” It’s up to you, is what we’re saying, just do it the same way every time.
