INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team forgot to do their homework on early US Vice Presidents, so they just started listing names they could remember from Hamilton, and wound up getting three of them.

When we ask a bonus question about Belgian cities, it’s a lot easier to win when someone on your team is literally from the first city we mention.

And when presented with the letter R in out category bonus round, one team kept trying to make “roofies” work.

And we’ve got new leaders in our quarterly tournament, but it’s very close as two teams have four wins and the difference is only two points.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 28 July 2024

Uncategorized,

The Olympics are on.

So for your team names this week, we want you to make an Olympic event more dangerous.

Relay races with chainsaws as batons

Waterpolo players must wear weight vests

Football is played with an explosive ball

Your javelin throw doesn’t count unless you can also catch it

Replace water stations in the marathon with gin stations

Any wildly ill-advised Olympic events will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team was caught cheating before we finished reading the first question. They couldn’t make it a single question before looking up Grease on their phone right in front of us.

We had to explain to more than one team that Antarctica is not a country.

There was a picture of a dolphin’s skull, and one team amusing guessed that it was Harold Holt. Well, it would explain why they never found him.

And we have just one team that still has a perfect record after four weeks of our quarterly tournament, and the same team as last week leading on average.

Kingsgrove Trivia – Kingsgrove Hotel – Wednesdays at 7pm

Uncategorized, ,

Kingsgrove trivia is on every Wednesday at the Kingsgrove Hotel.

Wherever you’re coming from, it’s hands down the best way to spend a Wednesday evening in Sydney, and it kicks off every week at 7pm.

We take trivia pretty seriously, and they’ve got a great location for it.  Combine thought provoking questions with $20 steaks from the bistro and prizes to compete for, and you’ve got a recipe for a perfect Wednesday night out.

So every Wednesday assemble a diverse team of your friends and pop in for some Kingsgrove trivia in Sydney’s South.  It’s bound to be a great night out if you are into beer and trivia. (And if you’re not, we have no idea why you are still reading.)

If you’re the kind of person who has memorised every Melbourne Cup winner, congratulations. But to be honest, that probably won’t help you. This isn’t an exam. Rather than just spitting out facts, you’ll probably have have to do some lateral thinking. We will ask questions that you won’t see coming. We will ask questions you probably won’t know off the top of your head, but will enjoy arguing about with your friends. The IQ in iQ Trivia stands for interesting questions, and that is what we will provide.

As always, we’ve got a homework question to give you an advantage. If you want to be on the e-mail list, just send an e-mail to [email protected] with Kingsgrove Trivia in the subject line to be added to our mailing list.

And the Facebook page dedicated to this particular venue will have additional information to help you out.

Book yourselves in for the best trivia in South Sydney by calling 9502 4436 or by making a reservation on their website.

And we will see you at 7pm every Wednesday at the Kingsgrove Hotel.
