It’s common in pub trivia for some participants to leave early, especially if they feel uncertain about a question or if they have commitments elsewhere. If your mate left before the answer was given, a good way to approach this is to first try to remember the question that was asked. You could also consult the trivia host if they’re available, as they often keep track of the questions and answers. Another option is to check with any other teammates who stayed behind to see if they recalled the question or answer. If all else fails, consider looking online for commonly asked trivia questions to see if the question sounds familiar. You can always share the answer with your mate later, which could lead to a fun discussion about the trivia night!
