Trivia (Audio or Visual)

Trivia (Audio or Visual??)

Trivia is a great Phil between songs. It gives the DJ something to do when there's nothing else going on. Hey DJ can always get everyone's attention by offering a prize for the answer to some trivial question. But trivia can often be very controversial. Some of the guests will think they won when they really didn't and it causes problems. And a DJ doesn't need problems. Each one is a cancer that spreads throughout the party, stifling the credit of the DJ. When an Irate guest complains to other guests about the DJ, they probably didn't even have a thought, but now they to share the complaint.

That's because, generally, the bond between two guests is stronger than the bond between DJ and guest. The guests can complain about it, and it's Acceptable. But a DJ can't complain about a guest to another guest. It causes more problems and sometimes even turned the party against the DJ. The DJ will then just say it was a bad party. But it really wasn't. It was a bad attitude.

Audio trivia causes the most problems. that's when the DJ asks a question. Usually, there's a clear-cut winner, the one guest who boldly and loudly shouts out the answer in front of everyone else. But sometimes, it is not that easy.

8th grade dances produce the most problems with audio trivia. When the DJ announces a trivia contest for a prize, the students Rush the setup. They may even knocked into the equipment. The DJ asks a question: the students shout out answers; and someone eventually gets it correct. That someone gets the prize, and then the controversy starts. Some other students will, no doubt, claimed they were first with the answer. They may or may not be right. Some know they're not; they just want the prize. But whatever the case, the DJ has to deal with all the losers. Some will whine; and others, fight. And everyone who didn't get a prize will think the DJ sucks. The guest who got the prize is happy. But the cancer isn't worth the happiness of just one person.

Visual trivia prevents cancers and reaps the benefits of audience participation. The winners are always clear-cut, and no one ever dispute a loss. Basically, the DJ asks to see a specific item at a specific place, and once the item is produced, the winner is announced. The rest of the guests can only accept defeat and admire the prize. No one ever complains, and cancers never start.

25th wedding anniversaries provide optimal parties for visual trivia. “We're celebrating the 25th anniversary of Bobby and Marie”, the DJ says. “And I've got a fabulous, designer t-shirt for the first person who can come to me with a 2 and a 5 in consecutive order in the serial number of a bill of any denomination”. “:A 2 and a 5 in consecutive order wins you a t-shirt at the 25th anniversary of Bobby and Marie”.

So, the first one up to the DJ with a 2 and a 5 when's the T-shirt. The DJ announces the winner, and everyone knows. No one can say they shouted out the answer from the back of the room before anyone else. No one can even say they were the first to pull out a bill. They didn't meet all of the objectives. They didn't arrive at the DJ before anyone else with a two and a five.

Bills or paper currency are random items. No one ever thinks about their serial numbers. But everyone knows where to look to win. And a DJ can use any number for any party. The numbers for a sweet 16, 10-year review Union, and they prom for the class of 89 are obvious. But certain ones for a bowling banquet or company party aren't. When they're not use the date.

Most visual trivia, however, isn't random It's conscience. For example, a DJ can seek a union card, prom picture, article of clothing with the name of a community. People consciously have these items, and their psyched the DJ wants them for a prize. So, the winners with conscience items are often more enthusiastic than the winners with random items.



Free publicity for future referrals can also be implemented into trivia. “I've got another fabulous, designer t-shirt to give away. This time, we'll give it to the first person who can take a picture of the T-shirt and hashtag it with (Your Company name or Tag) and post it to social media. A few people may take shots, each one eventually going into a photo album or online on social media. Everyone will see the first Flash, and the guest gets the prize. No questions asked, and no cancer started. Visual trivia makes one person happy and everyone else pay attention to win later on. And that's very important. The DJ needs to keep the attention of the people at the party.
