Run rounds, breaks, and the leaderboard
Mix general knowledge, local questions, music rounds, picture rounds, and tie-breakers without paper scoring.
Bring them back next week

Venue math
Make the event easy enough to repeat.
Trivia only works as a business driver if it becomes a habit. The setup has to be light, the room has to understand what is happening, and scoring cannot slow down service.
