Semi related: Hosting Trivia has shown me how bad ‘enemy’ players can be at modeling each other.
Like, I have seen the classic trick over and over. Where one team knows the answer to an obvious question, and once they’ve quickly written it down, they start loudly yelling the wrong answer in an attempt to trick nearby teams.

If you want to maximize your Trivia team’s chances of winning general trivia, the best team formations look like this: Best: Two 25-30 year olds, who religiously play YouTube trivia videos for fun at home Betterer: One old lady who has been playing Trivia for years, and logs the correct question answers in a notebook that he carries at all times. Better: 5 old guys and 1-2 terminally online young person Good: 5 old guys
