As a general rule every trivia contest should have a mixture of easy and hard questions. If you ask all easy questions then there is no challenge. If you ask all hard questions then there is no fun. It can be a hard mixture to get right. There is an exception to this rule, however, and that is when you host an impossible trivia contest.

Like the name suggests, an impossible trivia contest prides itself on asking very hard questions. This type of contest is usually theme related and is designed for the fanatic fringe. An impossible trivia dealing with football will draw out the football fans while an impossible trivia contest about Star Trek will attract the Star Trek fans. These people know the questions will be hard and want to see how well they can do.

When you set out to advertise your impossible trivia contest remember to take it to the extreme. What you want to do is throw down the challenge to the self-professed experts and tell them they have no hope of scoring well in your contest. Make it sound like only the brightest and the best are worthy to enter your trivia. The more hyperbole you use, the more the true fan is going to want to take your challenge.

Should the questions be hard? Yes. Don’t apologize if people complain the questions are too hard. This is not likely to be a problem, however, as they will be fully aware of what they have signed up for. Feel free to egg on the players by throwing in the occasional comment such as “here is another question nobody will get” or “save me the trouble and just mark this one wrong”.

Another way to have fun with the contestants is to start off disguising your question as easy but then letting the other shoe drop. An example of such a question would be as follows: “Babe Ruth was the first MLB player to hit 60 home runs in a season. Who broke this record and with how many?” Now that is a simple question since most sports fans know the answer the answer is Roger Maris with 61 home runs.” Hold your question for a beat as the contestants start to write down their answers and then continue your question by adding: “And what other players have hit more than 60 home runs in a season and how many did they hit.”

Remember to use some restraint when asking your questions. You really don’t want to ask a question like; “How many episodes of the original Star Trek where there and name them.” If run correctly an impossible trivia contest will provide a good bit of entertainment and the contestants will be happy to walk away with only a few correct answers.
