| Round | Category | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | General Knowledge | Broad knowledge across all topics |
| Round 2 | Picture & Celebrity ID | Distribute printed picture sheets to teams |
| Round 3 | Sports | All sports, all eras |
| Round 4 | Name That Tune | Play audio clips โ teams write song titles only, not artists |
| Round 5 | History & Geography | World events, capitals, landmarks |
| Round 6 | Entertainment | Movies, TV, music, pop culture |
| Round 7 | General Knowledge โ Bonus | Joker Bonus Round โ teams can double points. Multi-part bonus question at end. |
Joker Strategy: Before the final round, teams choose which round to play as their "Joker" round โ doubling their score for that round. Announce this option to teams before Round 7 begins.
Venues typically see participation from 8โ15 teams within the first 8โ12 weeks, growing to 12โ20 teams as regulars establish their routines. Weekly attendance ranges from 30โ50 players in smaller venues to 100+ in larger spaces. Growth typically peaks within 3โ4 months โ monitor and communicate progress to TLN.
Upon Arrival: Ask the venue to pause their background music. Start your own music to establish control and set the atmosphere. Select music aligned with the venue's vibe. Use TLN's music library if unsure. Your music signals to newcomers that something is about to happen.
TLN provides team answer sheets in PDF format as a 7-page document. Each page contains 4 cards. To prepare:
Acknowledge each team, ask for their team name, and allow for a bit of friendly trash talk and camaraderie. This builds the social atmosphere that keeps teams coming back week after week.
Tip: At the end of each round, collect answer sheets and announce scores before moving to the next round. Build anticipation by announcing standings going into the final round.
If someone shouts out answers, address it politely first: "Please avoid shouting out answers โ everyone is here to enjoy the quiz. If you'd like to participate, join a team and play for free."
Escalation path: (1) Polite ask โ (2) Humorous warning about "buying the bar a round" โ (3) Firm request โ (4) Ask bar staff to intervene if needed.
Most disputes come from misunderstandings or ambiguous questions. Handle diplomatically โ your goal is to keep the game fun for everyone, not to win an argument. If challenged by an online source, stay calm.
Resolution tip: If there's genuine ambiguity and you need to award 10 points to maintain a positive atmosphere, do so. A happy room is worth more than one point.
Important: Not showing up without notice can result in immediate termination. Non-compliance with TLN guidelines will also result in termination. If you have an emergency, call TLN at (888) 682-7849 or (609) 469-2691.
TLN produces three variants of each weekly game. Use the appropriate one for your venue:
Note: Game structure may not be modified unless explicitly agreed upon with TLN management. Under no circumstances should rounds be skipped, reordered, or substituted.
First point of contact at the venue: Always speak with the venue's General Manager about any in-venue issues before escalating to TLN.
