Whether you’re belting out bangers, busting a move, or just soaking up the party atmosphere, SFMQ is the perfect way to spend an afternoon brunch or an evening out with your crew. Celebrating a stag or hen do? Got a new job or a big birthday? Just fancy a cracking night out? Whatever the occasion, SFMQ has you covered. To make your night even more unforgettable, we’ve come up with some brilliant ways to dial up the fun and make the most of your SFMQ experience.
Dress the Part: Themed Costumes
If you’re looking to crank up the fun at Sounds Familiar Music Quiz, dressing the part is a must! Why not pick a music-related theme for your team and go all out with your outfits? Channel your inner 80s rockstars with big hair, leather jackets, and ripped jeans, or embrace the disco diva look with glitter, sequins, and platform shoes. If you’re feeling nostalgic, why not recreate your favourite boyband or girl group? Think matching outfits and synchronised poses—it’s all part of the fun!
Not only does dressing up get you into the party spirit, but it also shows off your team’s creativity and commitment. Plus, you’ll stand out from the crowd and might even score a cheeky shoutout from the host. And let’s not forget the photo opportunities—there’s nothing better than capturing your crew in full-on fancy dress mode as you belt out bangers from every era.
Whether you keep it simple or go all-out with props and accessories, themed costumes will take your SFMQ experience to the next level. So, grab your wigs, dust off your glitter, and get ready to look the part while you smash those quiz rounds.
Create a Killer Team Name
No quiz night is complete without a team name that makes everyone laugh, groan, or both! At Sounds Familiar Music Quiz, we celebrate the pun-tastic, the creative, and the downright ridiculous team names—and we even offer a prize for the best one. So, don’t settle for something forgettable—put your thinking caps on and come up with a name that’ll make the host chuckle and your rivals jealous.
Feeling adventurous? Go niche with something that references an iconic lyric, band, or song title. The more creative and clever, the better! And don’t be afraid to lean into current pop culture or your team’s personality for some added flair.
A killer team name isn’t just a chance to show off your wit; it’s also the perfect icebreaker and a great way to build team spirit. Plus, hearing your name announced during the quiz adds an extra bit of fun and camaraderie to the experience. So, start brainstorming now and let your team name shine as brightly as your personalities!
Bring Props for Your Team’s Table
Want to stand out and turn your table into the ultimate party zone? Bring some props to add an extra layer of excitement to your Sounds Familiar Music Quiz experience! Mini disco balls, inflatable guitars, funky LED lights, or even themed table decorations can transform your quiz station into a hotspot of fun.
We already provide some props like inflatable microphones to get you started, but adding your own personal touches will take it to the next level. Picture your team surrounded by glowing decorations, waving inflatable guitars, and grooving under a mini disco ball—it’s an instant energy boost for you and a spectacle for everyone else. Not to mention, it makes for incredible photos that’ll capture the night’s vibe perfectly.
Bringing props is also a great way to get into the quiz’s playful spirit, keep the mood lively, and keep your team energised through every round.
Pre-Quiz Warm-Up: Create a Playlist
Every great night out needs a killer soundtrack, and your Sounds Familiar Music Quiz experience is no exception. Get your team hyped up and in the mood by creating a mini playlist of quiz-worthy tracks to play during your pre-quiz meet-up or journey to the venue. Think epic anthems, nostalgic bangers, and sing-along classics that’ll set the tone for the event.
Start with high-energy tunes that everyone loves, like Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now or Whitney Houston’s I Wanna Dance with Somebody. Mix in some quiz-related songs like Seven Nation Army (you know it’ll come up) and round it out with guilty pleasures that’ll get everyone singing before you even arrive. Bonus points for adding tracks from different decades to cover all quiz bases!
Not only will a playlist get your team buzzing, but it’ll also help loosen everyone up and create a sense of camaraderie before the fun begins. Whether you’re blasting tunes on the car stereo or having a quick boogie at home, this warm-up ritual ensures your crew hits the ground running, ready to dominate those quiz rounds and have a blast.
Plan a Post-Quiz Celebration
Don’t let the fun end when the quiz wraps up—keep the party going with a post-quiz celebration! Whether your team smashed the leaderboard or just enjoyed singing along to the bangers, a little extra celebrating is the perfect way to round off the night.
You could head to a nearby pub or cocktail bar for a celebratory drink, toast to your efforts, and relive the night’s highlights. For something more lively, organise a mini dance party at home or keep the musical theme alive with a late-night karaoke session. If your group is feeling competitive, turn the after-party into its own event with games, challenges, or even your own DIY quiz!
Planning a post-quiz celebration adds a sense of closure to the night and keeps the good vibes rolling. It’s also a great way to bond with your team and reflect on your shared memories—whether it’s that one impossible question you nailed or the time someone sang a little too passionately during the music round.
A Sounds Familiar Music Quiz isn’t just a night out—it’s an experience packed with music, laughs, and unforgettable moments. Whether you’ve been smashing the quiz rounds, belting out bangers, or cracking up at your team’s antics, it’s all about making memories with your favourite people. By adding a few creative touches—like themed costumes, a killer playlist, or a post-quiz celebration—you can take your quiz night to the next level and make it truly one-of-a-kind.
So, gather your crew, plan your epic team name, and get ready for fun, friendly competition, and pure party vibes. Remember, it’s not just about the points (though winning does feel amazing)—it’s about having a blast and making your night as memorable as the tunes themselves.
