Early quizzes were pen-and-paper; now, we’ve got mics and buzzers. Themes exploded—think “Harry Potter” nights or local history rounds. In the Bay Area, our trivia hosts blend Silicon Valley smarts with San Francisco charm. It’s not just a game—it’s a night out. Ready to host a modern classic? Campbell Entertainment’s got you covered.
