Support & FAQ

Everything you need to know about Wasted Wisdom.

General

The Brussels Quiz League takes place at The Wild Rover Irish Pub & Sports Bar. Themed events and special editions occasionally take place at other venues across Brussels.

The Monday league quiz starts at 19:00 and lasts between two and three hours, including breaks and the winner's ceremony. Other events may have different start times.

Yes, all quizzes are exclusively in English.

The league quiz consists of two halves of 30 questions each. Themed events vary.

Geography, history, science, culture, literature, music, film, sport, fashion — and plenty more. All categories are represented as equally as possible.

Absolutely. The quiz is designed for all ages and interests. Even someone who has never attended a quiz before should be able to answer a good portion of the questions independently.

The Wild Rover accommodates up to 28 tables indoors. Additional spots on the terrace depend on the weather. Other venues vary by capacity.

Almost all quizzes are hosted by Ivan, who independently writes all questions, creates presentations, and handles visuals. In case of absence, a replacement host will be announced in advance.

After several years of occasional hosting in Croatia, Ivan has been running weekly quizzes in English in Brussels for nearly three years.

A table for your team at the quiz.

League quizzes can be booked from the start of the season. Themed events can be booked as soon as they are announced on TicketTailor.

Teams & Rules

Of course. If there's a spot in another team, connections can be made. If you just want to see what the quiz is like, there's usually space at the bar.

Five people. In exceptional cases, a sixth person may be allowed with prior notice, so that an appropriate table can be arranged. Without notice, more than five people will not be permitted.

Yes, as long as the combined number doesn't exceed five. Or they can compete as two separate teams — entirely their choice.

The first question is read around 19:10. If your table is not claimed by 19:00, it may be given to a team on the waiting list and you will be moved to the bar, terrace, or another available spot.

No. Phones and smartwatches that could be used to search for answers or Shazam music are strictly not allowed.

Yes, prizes for the winning team are provided by the pub.

Each correct answer earns one point. Half points do not exist.

Tied teams will play a tiebreaker round, which is always different.

Yes, up until the first answer sheet is submitted.

Themed Events

The plan is to hold a themed quiz on the last Friday of each month, but this depends on various factors. Some months may have more than one, others may fall on a different Friday.

Follow us on Instagram, check the website, or browse TicketTailor for upcoming dates.

Friday themed events are held at The Wild Rover. If additional quizzes are launched in collaboration with other venues, you will be notified in advance.

Absolutely. The host is always open to ideas — get in touch via the contact form.

Between 50 and 60, depending on the format.

Quiz League

The Brussels Quiz League is currently in its fifth season, bringing together over 30 teams on a weekly basis and more than a hundred different teams throughout the season.

Depending on the time of year, a season consists of 15 or 20 quizzes. The top 10 teams at the end of the season receive prizes.

Each quiz carries a maximum of 60 points. Scores accumulate throughout the season, and each team's worst result is dropped — giving every team one free week.

Yes. Each quiz is scored and rewarded independently. A team can participate on any given Monday without being part of the league standings.

Yes. The only thing worth keeping consistent is the team name.

Yes. The top 10 teams receive prizes based on their final position. First place wins free entry for the entire following season.

Top results are posted on Instagram every Tuesday. The full standings are available in the Standings section of the website.

Team Building

Yes. Wasted Wisdom has already organised quizzes for several companies.

Either at a venue provided by the client — subject to approval — or at one of the pubs Wasted Wisdom works with, depending on availability.

Both depend on what is agreed with the client.

Questions tailored to the client's needs, and equipment if required. If activities beyond the quiz are needed, organisation and programming are also possible.

Pricing depends on the venue, duration, organisational requirements, and potential equipment rental. Get in touch for a quote.

For smaller events, one week is sufficient. For more complex projects, at least 15 days in advance is recommended.

Question Sets

Yes — for other hosts and for private parties.

Standard sets contain 60 questions split into two halves. Custom sizes are available depending on your needs.

Questions are delivered by email as a PDF, along with a presentation for display purposes only. The presentation may not be used for commercial purposes.

Yes. However, Wasted Wisdom reserves the right to decline if a topic is considered too difficult or outside of scope.

Send a message to ivan@wastedwisdomtrivia.com or fill in the contact form. The starting price is €50, with the final cost depending on whether the set already exists or requires custom work.

Table Reservations

No. Tables are not assigned to specific teams. Regular teams are accommodated where possible, but if another team takes a table before you arrive, that cannot be controlled.

It depends on how quickly spots fill up for a given date.

If there is a team on the waiting list, they may be given your table. You will then be seated at the bar or another available spot.

If your group is happy to split across multiple teams, you're welcome to book as many tables as are available on TicketTailor. Each table accommodates up to five people.
