Being a Quiz Master can be great fun and if you’re good enough, it can be pretty lucrative! Also, you get to socialise as you entertain people, you are your own boss and you can do it in addition to your ‘real’ job. Pub quizzes are as popular as ever and their popularity continues to grow. Millions of people attend quiz nights every week, so there’s a big demand for great Quiz Masters.

Most people can host a one-off quiz but to be a great Quiz Master you need:

• To be clearly spoken
• A great imagination
• To be comfortable presenting in front of a crowd of people
• A good sense of humour
• Basic computer skills
• A natural interest in quizzing
• Basic knowledge of audio visual equipment

If this sounds like you then these are things you’ll need to host a Crafty Quiz:

• A computer with the Crafty Quiz installed on it
• A Crafty Quiz Mini Router (You can use a basic home router to test)
• A Quiz Master Licence (You can practice in Demo mode for free)
• A sound system and possibly a microphone
• Some participants with one compatible device per team

Once you’ve got all your kit sorted, the next step is to practice hosting quizzes on your family and friends. We’ve made a full User Guide which gives full details of how to use the software. There’s also the Frequently Asked Questions but if you’re really stuck you can Contact Us. You can practice making quizzes and using Free Mode you can have a go at hosting a quiz with 10 devices connected. This will give you

When you’re confident using the software and connecting devices the next step is to find a willing venue in your area. You could give them a
