ABOUT A QUIZ MEISTERS QUIZ
A Quiz Meisters event can vary in length according to the show, the crowd and the event. Our shows usually run for approximately 2 hours (with time either side for set up and pack up) for our In-Person shows, or 1–1.5 hours for our Online shows; however, different show times are available upon request. Please let us know in writing as early as possible if the show time needed for your event changes. If your event runs longer than expected (at the fault of the organiser), you will be charged $77 per half-hour per host. If this is the fault of the host or hosts, there will be no extra charges incurred.
While our In-Person events are commonly 2 hours in length, we can offer a reduced length at 1 hour or 1.5 hours. While this may be shorter than the standard length of our shows, they still retain the core values of our content relevant to each show.
OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
We will use our best endeavours to:
PREPARATION PRIOR TO THE EVENT
Quiz Meisters will arrange for a trained Quiz Meisters host to contact your event’s organiser three days prior to your event to discuss the format of your event, audio/visual (A/V) requirements, and to just say g’day. If a physical event, your host will arrive at the venue an hour before the event is due to start to set up the A/V equipment and do a sound check. Your host will present the show and mark answers as the show progresses (as part of our COVID-Safe measures, teams may need to mark their own sheets). If an online event, the host will open the event 15 minutes prior. Our hosts are a fun bunch, but we have trained them to present professionally, as they are the face of Quiz Meisters. Quiz Meisters will provide the show content, physical or online answer sheets, pens and all A/V gear needed (please see below).
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
You are responsible for your conduct and ensuring that you comply with these terms and conditions. In particular, you must:
and ensure that:
Should any aspect of your event, or what you require from us or the show we have been instructed to give, changes then please let us know as soon as possible. It is a good idea for you to organise prizes for the first, second and third place winners, and a wooden spoon is always a good idea for the team that comes last. There are a handful of games included in our shows and we also recommend that you supply prizes for these. We shall notify you of the number of games that will be included in your show. Please advise us as soon as possible if you are expecting more than 180 people to attend the show. Our standard A/V equipment may not be appropriate and we may require you to make alternate arrangements with a third-party audio/visual company.
CHARGES AND PAYMENT
We shall issue our invoice for your show within 7 business days of the event, barring any unforeseen circumstances. If the venue for the event is more than 50 minutes’ travel from the CBD, then we shall charge a small travel fee. For events held more than 1.5 hours away from the CBD, we will contact you with a quote for regional travel. If the venue for the event is within the CBD then:
EVENT CHANGE POLICY
Should there be any changes that affect the show overall (change of show start time, show length increase/decrease, venue change, etc.), we require a minimum 48 hours notice in writing. That way we can communicate any changes for the show to our hosts with enough notice for them to prepare accordingly. If you fail to provide notice of any major changes in writing, a Short Notice Surcharge of 10% of your show's fee will be incurred.
You must pay our invoice within 7 days of its issuance. We accept payment via cheque, EFT, cash, or credit card. Please note: if you are paying by credit card, there is a surcharge of 1.85% for domestic cards including Visa, MasterCard and AMEX. This is automatically added when you pay your invoice through our online payment service.We can’t issue your final invoice for the remaining outstanding until after your show has taken place. This is to ensure that all factors of the show, inclusive of anything above, are considered when we invoice you for the final amount, and you can be charged the correct amount for your show.
DEPOSIT
A non-refundable $100 deposit will be required at time of booking. This can be paid on the show booking form we send you, or via invoice. If you choose to pay via invoice, we require payment no later than 24 hours later so your event can be booked in. The booking will not be confirmed until the deposit is paid.

EVENT CUSTOMISATION
While we have products built specifically for our events, we can definitely accommodate any custom content you require to give your show a more personal touch. This can be done a number of ways for a number of our products:
TRIVIA
We can make your show customised in one of two ways:
1. Standard: $55 for Bonus Questions - these are questions submitted by you to replace some of our written questions in the quiz. We require 6-8 of your questions and answers to be sent by you no later than 5 business days before your event is scheduled to take place, and then our creative team can spread your custom questions throughout the quiz.
If your questions are sent to us after the 5 business days deadline, an additional 10% Short Notice Surcharge will be added to the bonus questions fee. If your questions are sent to us 48 hours before your event, they will not be included in the show. - we can create a fully custom quiz fit to a specific theme or concept that your event is based on. Our team will send you a form to fill out, and then we'll create the quiz from the content you have included in this form. We will be able to provide you with the overall time spent on both forms of customisation in the final communications we have with you before the event, and these time based charges will appear on your final invoice.
2. Bespoke: $30 per 30 minutes for Quiz Writing Production, $40 per 30 minutes for Audio-Visual Production - we can create a fully custom quiz fit to a specific theme or concept that your event is based on. Our team will send you a form to fill out, and then we'll create the quiz from the content you have included in this form. We will be able to provide you with the overall time spent on both forms of customisation in the final communications we have with you before the event, and these time based charges will appear on your final invoice.
We require all of your bespoke information no later than 10 business days before your event is scheduled to take place. This information includes but is not limited to; advising us of a bespoke concept without prior notice to the 10 business days, advising us of any changes to the bespoke content, additional admin required for the bespoke show, or further inclusions that you have provided to us.
If your information is sent to us after this period, an additional 20% short notice charge of your show's customisation fee will be applied. If your bespoke information is sent to us less than 5 business days before your event, we cannot proceed with creating your custom content. If you advise us of the cancellation of the bespoke content for the show after it has been finalised and created, you will be charged the full fee for the amount of customisation work completed.
Our charges are based in two forms:
Quiz Writing Production: Entails the research towards the content of your theme or concept, and the creation of questions stemmed from the research we find.
Audio-Visual Production: Entails the research towards the content of your theme or concept, and the creation of audio-visual segments and questions based on the research we find relevant.
CUSTOM CONTENT RATES
Specific information regarding Event Customisation is available upon request.
AV AND TECH AND THE NEED FOR AMPLIFIED SOUND
As a part of the Corporate Quiz package, for bookings under 150 PAX, we will provide all AV and Tech equipment to run your event from any venue that we can access sufficient power.
Our show is designed specifically to be as engaging and interactive as possible. The thing that sets us apart from other quizzing companies, is that we have created a quiz with the perfect level of audio-visual and onscreen questions that will keep your guests engaged for the full length of the quiz. A big factor in this is our brilliantly trained corporate hosts and their ability to connect with a crowd, and in order to do this without putting their voices at risk, we do require the use of a microphone throughout the entire duration of your event. Please make sure you check with your preferred venue that amplified sound is permitted for your event.
