Welcome to your favorite job!
Welcome to hosting for Trivia Mafia, the world's greatest bar trivia company.

Nearly everyone who works here is, or has been, a host (including the founders, Chuck Terhark and Sean McPherson), and we want to make sure that you find as much enjoyment in the job as we have and do. This great Hosting Guide contains everything you need to know to host and run a trivia night for Trivia Mafia, plus a bunch of stuff that’s simply good to know. Your primary point of contact will be the Host Manager, but check this contact list if you need other support.
We depend on our hosts to be good ambassadors of our brand, professional partners for our customer sites, and joyful shepherds of trivial knowledge to the world at large. It’s a big deal.
Why do we do it?
Businesses may hire us for a few reasons, but the main one is getting butts in seats. Our job is to help keep people at the business for about two hours, so they will order a couple thingsoffthemenu. 
But we also know that, for most hosts, this is your bonus-fun-extra-part-time job, and we want you to look forward to your next shift with confidence and excitement. So again: Thanks!

Why do you do it?
For most hosts, this is a bonus-fun-extra-part-time job, and we want you to look forward to your next shift with confidence and excitement.
Some of our hosts used to be players, and want to continue to be part of the events. Some of our hosts are professional performers and entertainers, and like the regular gig as a way to keep their skills sharp. Some of our hosts have leveraged hosting trivia as a way to meet a new community when they're new in town. Some of our hosts just want an extra $200 a month, and that is also a legit reason!
Our hosts have had baby showers thrown for them, found their spouses among players, supported proposals between players, boosted small businesses, and helped families growand closerfriends stay connected during a global pandemic. We take our jobsjob seriously, and we're serious about making it a good time.
