Pubquiz

What Pubquiz does

Pubquiz (legal entity Pubquiz s.r.o., headquartered in Brno, Czech Republic) operates a pub quiz platform that organizes and manages team-based trivia events across partner venues in the Czech Republic. The company runs a standardized quiz format of 5 rounds, 10 topics, and 51 questions per session, moderated by trained hosts across approximately 40+ partner pubs, bars, and restaurants in 14 Czech regions including Praha, Brno, Plzeňský kraj, and Moravskoslezský kraj. Its core products are three-sided: a consumer-facing player service for individuals and teams to discover and register for events, a venue partnership program that provides quiz content and moderation free of charge to hospitality venues, and a corporate teambuilding quiz service for companies seeking private events. The platform also operates a seasonal League Competition (two seasons per year, September-January and February-June) with city-wide finals.

The underlying technology stack is a conventional web platform (pubquiz.cz) integrated with Facebook for event discovery and team registration, with no disclosed mobile apps, APIs, or AI/ML components. Question content is curated manually by the team and held under copyright by Pubquiz s.r.o. Marketing channels are concentrated on the website, Facebook event pages, and direct email contact ([email protected]) for corporate and venue inquiries, with organic word-of-mouth driven by league standings. Pubquiz has multi-language support in Czech, English, and Slovak.

Pubquiz monetizes primarily through its corporate teambuilding service on a quote-based, multi-year contract basis, and through arrangements with venue partners (the precise revenue-share or licensing structure is not publicly disclosed). Player entry fees of approximately 100 CZK per person at certain venues are collected and retained by the venue for prize funding rather than flowing directly to Pubquiz. The company has not disclosed external funding, ownership structure, or financial performance, and operates as a privately held Czech s.r.o. with 11-50 employees.
