5 signs you need to find a new place for trivia night.

1.  Lack of beer and/or an inadequate plan to provide beer.

2.  Moderator is a jerk.

3.  They plan a music category without ever having testing the sound.

4.  A heavy reliance on multiple choice.  (If you're writing a trivia question and realize that the only way to guide your audience to the answer is with multiple choice options, abandon ship.  You don't have a trivia question, you have a random fact that no one cares about.)

5.  The writer has an almanac and isn't afraid to use it - one tediously boring question after another.
