I’ve done a lot of trivia nights and this man is by far my favorite host. He offers an extremely interactive experience that fits to all ages and levels of knowledge. The speed rounds and progressive inclines make it fun and it’s not your bread and butter trivia night, it’s better. Highly recommended.
