As the organizer, you want your PubQuiz to be truly unforgettable. And that means original prizes – whether you’re playing at home, with colleagues, or in the pub. Forget the standard bottle of wine or cinema voucher – with these 8 surprising ideas, you’ll really make an impression!
Do you organize PubQuizzes with the same group more often? Create a fun trophy that gets passed on to each winning team. Think of something quirky, like a golden toilet brush, a tacky stuffed animal, or a plastic Oscar statue. The winning team can proudly display the trophy at the office or in their living room – at least until the next Quiz.
Not only the winners deserve a prize. The last-place team also deserves a little gift – preferably with a wink. Hand out a box of tissues (“to dry the tears”), a children’s educational book, a coloring book with markers, a pack of toilet paper, socks with a silly print, or a puzzle with extra-large pieces. Guaranteed to boost the atmosphere!
Quizteama Aguiera, The Count of Monte Quizto, Quiz me Baby One More Time… Some teams might not shine with their answers, but they do with their creative team name. Reward that creativity with something fun: an inflatable animal, a round of shots, or a cheesy joke book. This way, everyone will think even harder about coming up with the funniest team name.
Tip: Let the room or group vote on which participant or team deserves the prize.
A standard bottle of supermarket wine isn’t very original, but something local makes it instantly more special. Surprise the winners with cheese, cured sausage or fresh nuts from the market, craft beer from a local brewery, or a jar of local honey. Original, tasty, and a great way to support the community.
Not every prize has to be something you can hold. An experience can be even better. Think of a cocktail workshop, a cooking class, a mudflat hiking trip, or a brewery tour. Perfect for companies and groups of friends.
The drinks & snacks package is always a hit. At a home quiz you can hand it directly to the winners, and for an online quiz you can simply have it delivered to their doorstep.
A real classic. Practical and easy to arrange at the last minute. In pubs, you could offer a discount on the bill or free entry to the next quiz. For companies and online players, vouchers often work well – for example from Bol.com, Coolblue, a general gift card, or a fashion voucher.
Want to give something original and show your green side at the same time? Go for sustainable prizes! Think of a reusable water bottle or coffee cup with a personal touch, or a cheerful tote bag. A packet of flower seeds or a small potted plant is always a winner too.
On a tight budget? No problem! Mix small, cheerful gifts into one package. For example: chips, a party hat, a bag of marshmallows, and a confetti cannon. Not expensive, but original – and instantly festive.

That depends on the group and the setting. For a friends quiz, you can already arrange fun prizes from €5 to €10, like a coloring book or a bag of candy. In a pub or company setting, a budget of €20–50 is often just right for a prize.
The larger the group, the more budget is often available for prizes.
In a bar or restaurant, you can also choose to charge a registration fee to cover (part of) the costs.
For a digital Quiz, gifts that can be delivered are ideal. Think of a drinks & snacks package sent to their home, or a digital voucher. That way, everyone can enjoy the prize right away.
In a business setting, challenge trophies, mini cups, and desk gadgets often work well. Gift vouchers are also a popular choice.
