Quiz Master at Toad in the Hole: Turning a Night Out into a Quiz Night

A good quiz night gives people a reason to put their drinks down, pick their phones up and get involved. As a quiz master in Dubai, I love turning a night out into something the whole room can take part in. At Toad in the Hole, guests were already enjoying food and drinks, playing darts and spending time together. Having a quiz host in Dubai added another way for everyone to join in, have a laugh and get a little competitive.

The brief

The aim was to make the quiz feel like part of a fun night out. As a pub quiz host in Dubai, Darryl Rees explained the game clearly, kept it moving and made guests comfortable taking part, whether they arrived ready to compete or joined in on the spur of the moment.

How the quiz worked

As quiz master, I hosted from the floor with a microphone, speaking directly with guests and guiding them through the game. That meant keeping the instructions simple, giving everyone a chance to follow along and bringing some personality to the moments between questions.

The best part of hosting a venue quiz is the interaction. You can read the room, have a laugh with the players and build a bit of friendly competition as the game unfolds. It turns a set of questions into something people experience together.

A quiz that fitted the venue

The video captures the atmosphere around the quiz: guests gathered at tables, drinks and food being served, darts in play and the host chatting with participants. The quiz sat naturally alongside everything else happening at Toad in the Hole.

That balance matters. A quiz master needs to hold the room’s attention without making the evening feel overly formal. Clear hosting and a relaxed approach help guests get involved at their own pace.
