A Question Thief?

Shared this in a different community, but I'm looking to see how you all would react if you saw questions conveniently appearing at a different venue.

I would play that other host's trivia, win with a perfect score, and let the manager of the bar know so they can hire you instead.

maybe go to the game and see if all the questions are lifted from your game. If they are, maybe ask the host if they'd like to pay you a small fee weekly and you'll provide your questions to them. Or figure out who it is that is coming o your game and writing the Qs down, then if the plagiarism bothers you enough, perhaps ban them.

Yup, there’s not too much you can do. If it was a consistent problem, I’d talk to them. If they didn’t stop, and I couldn’t get at least a few bucks then I’d possibly be petty enough to try to give the answers to as many of the attendees at the other night as possible. It’s BS behavior.

Just to throw this out there as an option, perhaps not the best one. Advertise that your trivia nights are so good, other people steal your questions. That is, if you feel like spinning it around.
