Bamboozled Quizmasters

What Bamboozled Quizmasters does

Bamboozled Quizmasters, operated by PBSK Management Pty Ltd, is a Perth-based entertainment company founded in 2016 that delivers live trivia and musical bingo experiences to hospitality venues, corporate clients, schools, and community organisations primarily across Western Australia. Its core product portfolio comprises weekly general-knowledge pub quizzes, themed trivia events (80s, 90s, movie, TV, and pop culture formats), and a digital Musical Bingo system. The company operates with approximately 9 core staff supplemented by a roster of 30+ freelance hosts, reaching venues from Perth through to Western Australia's Southwest and Great Southern regions.

The technology centrepiece is the Musical Bingo platform, which services 75+ venues across Australia every week via themed songlists (80s Hits, 90s Hits, One Hit Wonders, Disney Hits, Aussie Hits, and Number One Hits). The product suite also includes differentiated special-event formats such as The Big 80s Bash, Nothin' But 90s Night, and Live Band Music Quiz, which combines live band performances with trivia content. Recurring venue hosting is the operational backbone, while private events (fundraisers raising $2,000-$10,000+ per event, corporate team-building events of 150-500 people, Christmas/EOFY parties, and social celebrations such as hens and bucks parties) provide higher-margin, one-off revenue streams.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: recurring weekly venue quiz hosting (the host is paid by the venue, with quizzes free-to-play for patrons), direct corporate and private function bookings managed by an in-house Functions team, and bespoke fundraising packages for schools, clubs, and non-profits. Bamboozled has cultivated the largest social media following of any WA-based trivia outfit, supports a corporate membership with WA Charity Direct, and has raised more than $26,000 cumulatively via its Annual Community Quiz Night program for non-profits including Save The Children Australia, Operation Sunshine, Blue Dot Army, Little Things For Tiny Tots, Dandelions WA, and Epilepsy WA.
