Planning a company event and want something more exciting than the usual drinks and dinner? A pub quiz might be exactly what you’re looking for. Whether you’re based in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, or anywhere in the Netherlands, pub quizzes bring teams together, spark friendly competition, and create memories that last beyond the event.
We have successfully organised pub quizzes for numerous companies across various industries in the Netherlands. Our extensive experience means we know how to tailor each quiz to suit the unique culture and dynamics of your team. It is a tried and tested formula.

Not convinced yet? Here are the top 10 reasons to host a pub quiz for your next company event:
1. It’s the Ultimate Team-Building Activity
A Pub quiz naturally encourages collaboration and communication, making it one of the best team-building options out there. Employees work together under time pressure, relying on each other's strengths to win.
2. Fun for Everyone – No Special Skills Required
Unlike sports or other competitive events, everyone can contribute in a pub quiz. Whether someone knows obscure movie trivia or is a geography buff, all knowledge has value.
3. Customizable for Your Company
You can personalize the quiz with custom rounds, inside jokes, or questions related to your industry. It’s a great way to make the event feel uniquely tailored to your company culture.
4. Ideal for Both In-Person and Virtual Events
Whether your team works from the office or remotely across the Netherlands, a pub quiz can be run on-location or online. Virtual pub quizzes are just as engaging and can bring together distributed teams.
5. Boosts Morale and Motivation
Let’s face it – people love to win. A pub quiz adds excitement, breaks routine, and offers a chance to relax, bond, and laugh, all of which contribute to better morale.
6. Affordable Entertainment Option
Compared to hiring entertainment acts or organizing a large venue, a pub quiz is budget-friendly and scalable. You can host it in the office, at a local pub, or even over Zoom.
7. Great for Cross-Functional Collaboration
A pub quiz mixes up teams and encourages employees from different departments to interact. Whether it’s marketing working with finance or interns teaming up with senior managers, a quiz creates a fun space where roles fade and teamwork shines.
8. Encourages Friendly Competition
Healthy competition is a great motivator. A pub quiz brings out the best in people in a low-pressure, high-fun environment where teams can compete for bragging rights or small prizes.
9. Easy to Organize with Professional Help
If you're short on time, many companies (like ours!) offer quick and reliable quiz solutions—we arrange the quiz material, questions, hosting, and all the audio setup required to host your private quiz. You just show up and enjoy the night.
10. Unforgettable Moments and Shared Laughs
From hilarious wrong answers to unexpected trivia champs, pub quizzes create genuine moments of joy and surprise. It’s these shared experiences that help build stronger workplace connections.
