Question One

Question One is a brand popularized by Cirqus.

This is the history of how Cirqus transformed Question One from a small one-person business into an international brand.

a short history

Question One was founded in 2003 by an out-of-work actor.  For over a decade he ran it out of his apartment hand-mailing every quiz, equipped with only a Xerox machine in his living room.  It grew gradually through word-of-mouth until it eventually escaped the outer boroughs of London and he could scarecely manage it.

In 2015, the Cirqus team took over management and day-to-day operations expanding the Question One name into the recognized brand it is today.  Within 18-months it had grown from a few dozen venues outside central London to hundreds of venues and thousands of events each month across the UK.  Using the Cirqus platform developed by Razrfly and through the efforts of our amazing team, it kept growing until it had reached the shores of Australia, Europe, and the United States to become one of the largest entertainment companies.  

In 2019, Question One and Cirqus were dubbed "Big Trivia" by Bloomsberg in an article published in Businessweek.  Question One remains the number #1 traditional Pub Quiz company.
