Thanks to Bobby for entertaining our seniors during their Senior week. Pouring rain caused
us to have to make some last minute changes, and Bobby stepped up to help us fill time and
keep everything running smoothly!
Bobby did a terrific job with our group of 75 guests! He was early to the event and had music playing while guests arrived. He helped everyone get setup on their devices. He explained everything very clearly. It was a wide variety of games that kept everyone engaged and sometimes surprised. He can accommodate topics to your liking which is fun. He was all self contained, we didn’t need to provide anything for him which helped to relieve the stress of putting the event together. I highly recommend Bobby and our group hopes to have him back annually!
Bobby Roast Beef was a great asset to our event. Came prepared and with all necessary equipment. Was very helpful in last minute planning and in being flexible as the event was in progress. Most important his Smartphone Trivia was a big hit with attendees made the event a success.
Bobby hosted my husband’s surprise 50th birthday party and everyone cannot stop raving about him! His song choices, how he can really get the vibe of the room, and his super outgoing personality were the perfect trifecta for this crowd. We played SmartPhone trivia, Name That Tune, and he kept the entire crowd engaged with friendly competition!! EVEN THE TEENAGERS!!! He even had a phone number where my guests could text pictures they had of my husband that were displayed on a large TV, this was a huge hit! His level of professionalism is unmatched. If you’re looking for ways to make your next party or event really stand out, look no further than Bobby Roast Beef! You’ll have the party your friends & family will be talking about for weeks!
Bobby Nailed it on the Head! He had the whole crowd of a 100 diverse Jews fully engaged and activated. Even used some of our custom Torah questions and worked hard on the pronunciations!

Thanks so much Angie for such kind words. I’m thankful I was able to make your experience so memorable! Looking forward to entertaining you again very soon!
I was able to attend one of Bobby Roast Beef events at PINZ in Hadley. It was a fast paced trivia that was easy to follow along and understand. Not to easy but not that hard. Everything done from my phone. No pen or papers needed. Can't wait to go back for another round.
Bobby runs the best trivia night. Seriously. No one's better. Excellent range of questions and a super fun environment!

When planning a smartphone trivia game, a typical scenario is that set up is completed prior to guests arriving. They will arrive to music playing comfortably, and having instructions, pre-printed at various stations around the room informing them on how to connect. These instructions will also run on the optional LIVESCREEN video component if this option is selected for the event.
I'll make announcements as we get closer to the start time of the game and explain all the rules of each round. A typical round of 20 questions take about 17 minutes to complete. The pace is much faster than a pen and paper style game, and keeps the attention of those playing and observing. Upon conclusion of a round a break is taken before another begins. This is a great time to place a keynote speaker, or any other type of additional element - or even just allow for refreshments.
A standard game will run from 3-4 rounds in length, and some rounds will offer bonus point opportunities as either "nearest wins" type questions or even physical challenges (if appropriate).
Upon conclusion of a typical game there is a final bonus questions and prizes are awarded (if any are provided). Additional games and rounds are easily added in if needed. Typical event time scheduled is 3 hours from set up to tear down, performance of a single game is about 30 minutes for player sign-in, and 90 minutes of game time. Additional time is of course available upon request, if desired and available.
After the game has concluded, music will be provided until the end of the event, for either mingling or dancing. Often the hosts of events will use this time to make closing announcements, etc.
Hi! I'm Bobby Roast Beef, a PRO Smartphone Trivia host with nearly 4000 games under my belt. Not only am I the most experienced host in the region, but I'm also a mentor and tech support for other hosts that use the Speedquizzing Smartphone Trivia format across the entire US market.
This game is my preference, simply because it's faster! Not only does that keep the players (and observers too) highly engaged, but it also makes the game virtually cheatproof! Combine all that and you end up with the best format for trivia ever released.
Getting connected is not only easy with the FREE Speedquizzing app, but I bring in tools to assist guests in connecting easily, and can even provide devices for those that need them.
I have a regular audience that follows me at public events, they've voiced that they prefer my games because of my experience and expertise as a host, and how I keep focus of the game on FUN!
Custom question content is available for private events, or you can simply utilize my database of thousands of general knowledge questions. I can also offer different types of games within the Speedquizzing format. Fun rounds with sound clips, pictures, two lies and a truth, even music (like name that tune) and picture rounds!
My games aren't your typical trivia night event at all, they're infinitely more fun!
