What we’re about

Trivia CA is Chris O'Brien, an independent trivia host who writes every single question himself and hosts (almost) every game he writes, primarily in the Berkeley area.

Trivia games with Trivia CA are never ticketed, always free-to-play, and there are always prizes to the top teams!

We believe a good trivia night brings people together and brings them closer--and not just physically. Our games are designed to inspire conversation, encourage deeper bonds, and through friendly competition, foster community. Our trivia games are welcoming, friendly, and fun!

The standard Trivia CA game features 6 rounds and 60 questions of general knowledge trivia--a mix of topics, ranging in difficulty, including a picture round and a music clue round.

While Chris always makes serious efforts to include a wide range of topics in each game, the Trivia CA style leans toward current events and pop culture, popular media of the last 25 years, and the odd and unexpected places where old overlaps with new, niche intersects with the mainstream, and the intellectual collides with terminally online brainrot.

Currently, Trivia CA hosts Wednesday Night Trivia, every week starting right at 7pm at Bobby G's Pizzeria on University in Berkeley and Thirsty Thursday Trivia, every Thursday night at The BreakRoom starting at 7pm on Shattuck in Berkeley!

On the 1st Monday of each month, Trivia CA is bringing special THEME trivia nights to Raleigh's Pub on Telegraph, just off the Cal campus. First up on September 1st is THE OFFICE trivia night!

On the 3rd Monday of each month, Raleigh's will also host Trivia CA's standard game of classic team trivia, right at 7pm, just like all our current games!
