A Bloody Great Quiz Night

It’s like a pub quiz but inside a museum! We are hosting an entertaining evening of quizzing, comedy and perhaps a theatrical spook or two, alongside our international Bloodsuckers: Legends to Leeches exhibition.

There will be spot prizes for individual and team challenges, as well as First and Second Place hampers worth $250 and $150 (respectively).

Our tickets are $39 per adult, $140 for a team of four, $210 for a team of six, or $280 for a team of eight. Museum members receive a 10% discount off individual tickets, which will be applied at checkout.

Your ticket price includes entry into our special international exhibition, Bloodsuckers: Legends to Leeches on the night. 

You can enter as a fully formed team – choose a table size of 4, 6 or 8 (more on adding extras below). Or if you want to come along by yourself or with just one or two friends, we can buddy you up with another small group to create a STRANGER THINGS super-team. Perhaps they’ll be able to plug your knowledge gap!

Yes, you (or your teammate themselves) can book one or more individual tickets to add seats to your table to a maximum of eight people. Make sure you enter the draft team name that you chose when you made your initial team booking, and get any extras booked in by Sunday 9 February.

Yes, we will organise a seating plan and this will be prominently displayed on your arrival, just like a wedding. The seating plan will display your draft team name, or if you are part of a STRANGER THINGS table, the name you booked under.

(Don’t worry, you can still change your team name on the night!).

The doors open at 6.30PM. We recommend arriving early to give you the best chance to view the Bloodsuckers: Legends to Leeches exhibition and grab some food and drink from Tuitui Bistro, before the quiz begins. You will need to be seated by 7.30PM, so it’s best to give yourself plenty of time to find your table and get yourself settled in.

Please enter Auckland Museum via the South Atrium entrance into Te Ao Mārama.

Yes, there is limited parking in the Museum’s underground carpark. This will be open for the evening at a special discounted rate of $11.50. Closure of the carpark will coincide with the end of the event.

As usual there will be free parking up to 180 minutes around the Museum and the Domain.

See here for full details on public transport options and parking details.

Te Ao Mārama South Atrium, the Bloodsuckers: Legends to Leeches exhibition and Tuitui Bistro will be the only parts of the Museum that will be open. 

Tuitui Bistro will be open from 6.30PM, with last orders for food and drinks at 9.45PM.

A selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and hot food will be available for purchase. 

During the booking process you can pre-order bottles of wine or beer along with your tickets. These will be delivered to your table on arrival.

While you can drink and eat to your heart’s content in Tuitui Bistro and Te Ao Mārama South Atrium, please don’t take food or drink into the Bloodsuckers: Legends to Leeches exhibition.

Yes, the evening’s activities are all on the ground floor of the Museum. The Museum itself can be accessed via lifts or ramps. Please let us know if you have any team members who use a wheelchair or cannot be seated at a high bar table so that we can ensure you are allocated an appropriate table.
