And more!
We are almost done with everything. I know we’re coming in late with this trip because it took me a lot of work to design the itinerary, but the itinerary is so amazing that even operators were blown away by it! I have some great contacts in Scandinavia from our previous Northern Lights and Iceland trips. We’re almost done, and I’m planning on announcing and opening it up by the end of next week.
As usual, people on the pre-registration list will get an email before everyone else to get first dibs on registration and discounts. So, put your name down here, and keep your eyes peeled next week

Our friendly host will be with you live on Zoom orchestrating the most fun trivia event you've ever been to!
You're welcome to hop on by yourself or join with friends. About 75% of people sign up by themself so don't worry if you're coming on alone! Our host will make introductions and put you on a team with other people so it's a great way to make new friends. It's a fantastic way to meet new people and we've witnessed countless friendships sparked at this event. In fact, the host gives everyone the opportunity to swap contact info with other people in the group at the end of the night if they'd like to. If you sign up with friends, the host will make sure to put you on a team with your friends.
** WE HAVE LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE SO SIGN UP ASAP TO MAKE SURE YOU GET A SPOT **
* The event host will group you off into teams and you'll be playing as a team against the other groups. You're never put on the spot to come up with answers... you'll be working with your team to answer the questions. You'll answer great trivia questions in all of your favorite categories like pop culture, history, entertainment (music, movies & TV), arts & literature, science and more. The winning team gets a prize!
** QUICK NOTE: THIS EVENT IS COMPLETELY FREE TO JOIN AND ATTEND! IF YOU HAVE FUN, WE'D LOVE IT IF YOU'D DONATE/TIP THE HOST A FEW BUCKS.

* If you come on your own you'll be put on a team with others who have also come on their own. If you sign up along with friends we'll be sure to put you and your friends on the same team. (The awesome part about this event is that you'll always be working with your team to come up with answers so you're never put directly on the spot to have to answer anything).
* We have several unique rounds of trivia which keeps it really fun and exciting. Some rounds are like traditional trivia nights (simply answering trivia questions), other rounds are totally unique and change at each event. Sometimes we may show you a series of photos and ask you trivia questions about the photos, other times we play games like "Reverse Family Feud" where you'd have to guess the least popular answers to our question (it's soooo much fun!), or sometimes we'll play a "Find The Common Link" game where you'll have to answer some questions and figure out the common link between all the answers.
** RSVPing on Meetup does not get you a spot. You have to sign up through the Eventbrite link.
