A trivia night should be the easy fundraiser.
Sell tables, feed people, play some games. But anyone who has chaired one knows it rarely works out that way. A volunteer spends three weekends writing questions. The whole room waits on the scoring table between rounds. Nobody can hear the microphone past table six, and guests leave before the raffle drawing.
Your cause deserves better than a night that wears out your volunteers.
Meet Dan. He takes the whole night off your hands.
HIP Trivia is a fully hosted, fully produced trivia night built for your fundraiser, with over 30 years of stand-up comedy behind the mic. Teams play together at their tables and answer on our tablets, so everyone plays, not just the loudest person at the table. Scores go up on the screen right away. No answer sheets. No waiting.
Trusted by schools, churches, foundations and community groups.
Fundraising Built Right Into the Game
When you win, your cause wins, and we take that personally. Our custom HIP Trivia software builds fundraising games right into the show, so giving feels like part of the fun instead of an interruption.
Pay-to-play games: bonus games built into the show that teams pay to join, with the money going straight to your cause.
Mulligans and hints: your volunteers sell them to teams before and during the game. A mulligan fixes a wrong answer, and a hint gives a clue. Teams love them, and they're a huge profit center for fundraisers.
Sponsor logos: we put your title sponsor's logo up on the screen, and even round sponsors' logos during their rounds. Sell those sponsorships for whatever price you like.
There's no extra work for your committee. The games are already in our software. All your team has to do is sell them.
Booking is easy. Three steps.

Your supporters had a great time, stayed all night, and are already telling their friends to buy a table next year. And for once, the people who organized the night got to sit down and play.
Your fundraiser becomes the one people mark on their calendars a year in advance. You can always have us back (many groups do).
Don't take our word for it.
Our Easiest Event Ever!
Working with Dan made this fundraising event one of the easiest the school has ever organized. He wrote all the questions and our players' scores were calculated immediately. The event took fewer people to plan ahead of the event and ZERO the night of the event! For the first time in 11 years, I was able to participate in the event!! If you haven't done this type of event before, I'd recommend Dan and HIP Trivia to be your choice.
You can't go wrong with HIP Trivia!
The 2nd Annual Prairie Hawk Trivia night was a success. Working with Dan was a very seamless process and takes all the stress of event planning away. There is minimal needed from the planning committee and his process allows everyone to participate. Dan wrote all of the questions, had the equipment, and was an AWESOME ENGAGING host! It's a win win for all!
What A NIGHT!
What an incredible night! HIP Trivia is truly unlike any other trivia experience. It's creative, interactive, and packed with nonstop fun. Dan is a true professional and clearly an expert at his craft. Do your organization a favor, take the chance and hire Dan. You'll be happy you did!
Fundraiser Questions, Answered
How does pricing work for a fundraiser?
Every fundraiser is different, so we quote each one. The price depends on your location, the size of your crowd, and how much equipment we bring, which comes down to what your venue already has for sound and projection.
Tell us about your event and we'll send a clear quote, usually with a few package options so you can pick what fits your budget.
How many teams can play?
From a small room to a full ballroom. Most fundraisers play by table: each table is a team, with its own tablet.
Tell us how many people you expect, and we'll plan the teams and tablets with you.
How do mulligans and hints work?
A mulligan fixes a wrong answer, and a hint gives a clue. Your volunteers sell them to teams before and during the game, and our software keeps track of who has what.
You set the prices, and we're happy to suggest what has worked for other groups.
Do we need volunteers the night of?
Not for the game. We host, run the tablets and keep score, so nobody is stuck at a scoring table and your organizers get to play.
During the game, your team just sells mulligans and hints and takes care of the parts of the night that are yours, like the raffle or the auction.
What do we need to provide?
Usually just the room. We bring the tablets and our own microphones and soundboard, plus as much of the sound, lighting and projection as your package includes.
A hard-wired internet connection is ideal, and if the venue doesn't have one, we have workarounds. We need the room at least two hours before doors open (three is better), and we'll handle the tech talk with your venue directly so you don't have to.
Can we recognize our sponsors?
Yes. We can put your title sponsor's logo up on the screen, and even give each round its own sponsor, with their logo on screen during that round.
Sell those sponsorships for whatever price you like. It's one more way to raise money, and your sponsors get seen by the whole room.
Can the questions be about our school, church or community?
Absolutely. We have a database of over 100,000 questions, and we love mixing in your own: your school's history, your parish, your town, your longtime volunteers. It makes the night feel like yours.
How long does the night run? Can we fit in dinner, a raffle or an auction?
The game runs about 90 minutes, with breaks for our between-round games and your raffle drawings.
Those breaks are natural spots for a raffle drawing, a 50/50 or an auction update, and we'll build the whole night around your program, dinner included.
What about prizes?
Most groups award prizes to the top three teams. Many fundraisers ask local businesses to donate them, which is one more way to thank your sponsors from the stage.
We've also been known to slip in a last-place award. Sometimes the funniest prizes get the loudest cheers.
Our committee wants to talk it through first. Can we set up a call?
Of course. Call or text 262-333-0494, or book a call or Zoom at a time that works for your committee.
