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.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 21 July 2024

Uncategorized, ,

Recently one of our teams made a spelling mistake on a James Bond question and referred to Sean Cannery.

So we’re making that our team name theme.

For a bonus point, we want you to make a minor spelling mistake in a celebrity name.

Benedict Cucumberbatch

Bread Pitt

Nicolas Rage

Leonardo DiCatrio

Meryl Sheep

Colin Birth

Keanu Leaves

Any misspelled celebrity names will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 20 July 2024

Here’s what you may have missed this week at iQ Trivia.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOT

Coming last in trivia stings a lot less when you win $140 in the jackpot.

And it’s also nice when you finish first and also win the jackpot, though the other teams are more likely to hate on you.

TEAM NAMES

It was a nice change of pace to have compliments as team names.

You’re like the cool side of the pillow

You look like you’d follow a word limit

Would

Nice ass

Your mother is a nice lady

You’re less awful than Hitler

You wouldn’t steal a car

I bet models call you for advice

You look like you never shit

You have golden retriever energy

You’re as tasty as KFC

Childhood me would have wanted your life

TriviArt

Scandalous Feet

Feisty Dog

Sparkling Current

Blue Poo

Frightening Spectacles

Toucan Cuckoo Clock

Immature Melting

INTERESTING MOMENTS

The Frenchman working behind the bar gave away the answer when we asked teams to identify the language of a cover version of a Beatles song.

We asked what Australian state the Gawler Ranges were in, and one team asked us to explain what we meant. I mean… there’s not really much to explain. Just pick a state.

One team managed their first ever win after a year or so of coming 7th… right before they move out of town.

And we’ve got three teams over the 200 mark three weeks into our quarterly tournament, and one team way up at 82 on average scores.
