Play it at Sea World Series Trivia Night, Wed 14 Oct →How to win (or at least not come last)
- Arrive 30 minutes earlyYou'll get a table, order food before the first round, and meet the quizmaster (who can put you with a team if you're solo).
- Four to six is the sweet spotMix nationalities: a Brit for UK TV, an American for US sport, a local for anything about China, and someone under 25 for the music.
- Phones awayGoogling is the one thing every quiz treats as cheating. Keep phones face-down on the table.
- The team name mattersIt gets read out every round. A good pun earns goodwill; a rude one earns the quizmaster's revenge.
- Pay with WeChat Pay or AlipayNeither quiz lists an entry fee, but you'll want to keep the drinks coming, and most bars take both.

Is there a trivia night every night of the week?
No. We know of quizzes on Wednesday (Sea World) and Thursday (Craft Head) only. If you know of another regular quiz, tell us and we'll add it.
