Excesss Karaoke & Trivia

What Excesss Karaoke & Trivia does

Excesss Karaoke & Trivia is a small, privately held live-entertainment provider headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. According to the firmographic record, the company was founded in 2000 and operates with approximately nine employees. Its name and web presence (excessskaraoke.com) indicate that the core offering consists of karaoke hosting and trivia event services, typically delivered at venues or for private events within the local market.

The company's go-to-market model is consistent with a local services business: hosts appear to be dispatched to bars, restaurants, private parties, or corporate functions to run karaoke sessions and trivia nights. No productized software, mobile application, or technology platform is documented in the source data, and the website itself was not retrievable beyond a loading/verification page during the data collection attempt. No pricing models, public rate cards, or contract terms are disclosed, and there is no evidence of ancillary revenue lines such as merchandise, licensing, or media.

Beyond the firmographic record, the available source material is sparse: no customers, management team, funding history, partnerships, awards, or operational metrics were disclosed. The ownership structure is unstated, and no public-ticker or parent-company information is available. As a result, the investable profile is limited to the inference that this is a long-tenured, micro-scale local entertainment operator with a single-geography footprint and no visible technology differentiation.

Emerging players

• StarMaker: Mobile karaoke and social singing app. Not a venue competitor, but represents the digital substitute whose growth is a structural headwind to in-person karaoke bars like Excesss.
• Splitzville: Boutique entertainment bar concept combining bowling, karaoke, and other group games. Comparable in size and concept mix to an independent karaoke-and-trivia venue like Excesss.

Broad incumbents

• Punch Bowl Social: Multi-location 'eatertainment' venue combining food, drinks, karaoke, bowling, and games. Overlaps with Excesss on the karaoke+games positioning but at significantly larger scale and broader format mix.
• Round1 Entertainment: Bowling and amusement arcade chain with karaoke rooms and prize games. Overlaps with Excesss on karaoke rooms and family/group entertainment, though at a much larger scale.
• Dave & Buster's: National entertainment-venue chain offering games, food, and drinks. Competes for the same discretionary 'night out' spend as a karaoke and trivia bar, even though the core product is arcade-based.
• Main Event Entertainment: Family entertainment center chain offering bowling, laser tag, billiards, and arcade games. Adjacent competitor for the same group-outing and party occasions that a karaoke and trivia bar targets.

Direct peers

• Geeks Who Drink: Pub-trivia hosting company that runs weekly trivia events at bars across the US. Directly comparable to the trivia side of Excesss's offering, with a scalable host-driven model across multiple venues.
• Howl at the Moon: Chain of bar venues anchored by live music-driven audience participation (dueling pianos and sing-alongs). Closely comparable to a karaoke bar as a destination built around group singing and bar spend.
• Lucky Voice: UK-based karaoke bar and private room operator with a similar in-person, song-driven entertainment experience. Directly comparable as a dedicated karaoke venue brand targeting group nights out.

Regional players

• Trivia Mafia: Columbus, OH-based pub trivia company that hosts live trivia events at local bars. Highly comparable on the trivia side and a direct local competitor in Excesss's home market.
