Who: You and your friends if you still have any.

Where: PJ McIntyres Irish Pub (www.pjmcintyres.com)

What does it cost?

How long does it take?

Usually around two hours or so.

So this is a "trivia night"?

Please take a moment to think about what you just asked and why everyone is staring at you right now. In short, no this is not just "trivia night." For starters, the quiz itself, takes from 10-14 hours to create, from scratch, each and every month. This is a completely audience-interactive event that will pit the most sarcastic know-it-alls against the folks that actually know something useful. From the random screaming out of answers, to my mom making fun of you for being stupid, this is a far cry from "trivia night." Video rounds, logic rounds, printed rounds, all sorts of crazy that makes it a multi-sensory experience. Over the years, I have learned that literally anything can and will happen.

Is the quiz difficult?

Yes and no. I try to vary the rounds and difficulty so the "smartest" teams won't necessecarily win. Obscure movies from the 1980s is generally going to be a different crowd than Superconductive Thermodynamic Mathmatics in Functioning Autonomous Systems crowd. The team with the widest array of knowledge usually comes out on top. Anything and everything. From bizarre factoids about strange movies, to sports, history, the arts, and everything in between. No category is off-limits.

Can I have the questions ahead of time?

No, you may not have the questions ahead of time. You are now at -4 points for asking that.

Can you PLEASE make the questions easier?

No, I will not make the questions easier. Your entire team is now negative 23 points. I hope you're happy.

Can we use our cool new cell phones that we paid too much for to look up answers?

No. That is not a test of your team's knowledge. That's a test of your team's ability to use a small screen and tiny buttons quickly. I circulate in the crowd and will deduct points if I see any cheating. And I don't care if you were "just txt'ing my mom." You're a liar. And now your mom knows it.
