2. A tablet or smartphone: Every team or player joining the trivia game needs a tablet or smartphone to play. Make sure devices are fully charged before you start.

3. A projector or large screen: If you are hosting the trivia night in a bigger space, a projector or large screen is super helpful for displaying the questions and answers to everyone.

4. A sound system: Not strictly required, but a sound system makes the night way more fun. Add sound effects to questions or play music during breaks between rounds.
