Online Trivia Night On Zoom - A Fun & Free Trivia Night
Online
Sign up for free at this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/855683130277

Get ready for a fun night of trivia on Zoom. Everyone is welcome and it's a really great time! Once you sign up, you'll be given a link to join a group of other people via video on Zoom. All you need is a laptop, phone or tablet to take part in the event. You'll enjoy an evening of fun trivia. We balance the questions making sure there are plenty of different topics and difficulty levels so everyone will have a good time. 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.

* 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. THE HOST WILL POST HOW YOU CAN DONATE/TIP WITH VENMO/CASH APP AND OTHER WAYS. IF YOU ENJOY THE EVENT WE'D LOVE IT IF YOU'D DONATE TO HELP KEEP THIS EVENT RUNNING BUT THERE'S NO PRESSURE AT ALL TO DO SO... WE KNOW THESE ARE HARD ECONOMIC TIMES SO WE WANT EVERYONE TO FEEL WELCOME TO ATTEND AND HAVE FUN WITH NO PRESSURE TO DONATE/TIP.

* 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.
