Kingsgrove Trivia – Kingsgrove Hotel – Wednesdays at 7pm

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 homework@iqtrivia.com.au 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.

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.

Team Wins Score Average
Foxolotl 3 226 75.33
Richard Gere Appreciation Society 3 221 73.67
Diversity 3 220 73.33

6 Go Crazy 2 128 64.00

This week we’re going to have fun with move titles.

We want you to take a film title & turn it in clickbait.

Hundreds of people are joining this new group, but nobody is talking about it. (The first two rules will shock you!)

You’ll never believe how mean these girls are!

Find out what was on this plane. Nobody saw it coming!

This cop found one weird trick to save Nakatomi Plaza!

Any movie titles turned into clickbait will get you a bonus point.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Sometimes we ask easy questions that we intend to be a cinch for everyone. Like what year ending in 29 that the Oscars were first awarded… and one team answered 1919.

When you don’t care about reality TV, you come up with fake names. Like Ultimate Banana, Sexy Time, and King Gopher: Munching Lettuce on the Down Low.

And in a week with lot’s of Taylor Swift content, we had a lot of teams get really annoyed… at themselves for not knowing as much as they thought.

And after 8 weeks of our quarterly tournament, there’s just one point in it.

4 Go Crazy 7 518
The Smith Family 7 517

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 25 February 2024

So Taylor Swift has been in the news a lot.

There have been legitimate news stories about where she had dinner, her trip to the zoo, and virtually everything she did while in Australia.

For your team name this week, we want you to suggest the least likely place for a Taylor Swift sighting.

Hitchhiking across the Nullarbor

The Pokies at the Bankstown RSL

The queue for the toilets at a Taylor Swift concert

Let us know where Taylor definitely isn’t for a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We found out that one of our players counts on her fingers with all her fingers out, and then putting them down with each passing number.  Which is objectively weird.

You know that book Alison in Wonderland?

If you talk constantly and then complain that you can hear anything, we’re not going to take you seriously. If we ask you for a language beginning with J in which “thank you” translates as “arigato” and you leave it blank, our questions being too hard might not be the problem.

We noticed that one of our team had the same women every week, but different guys. It turns out the ladies were finding guys on Tinder and inviting them to trivia. So if you match with some 20 something girls in Sydney, you might wind up at one of our quizzes.

And after six weeks, somehow we have a tie in our quarterly tournament, with two teams tied on 5 wins and 368 points.

Team Wins Points
4 Go Crazy 5 368
The Smith Family 5 368
Ted’s Team 4 305
Menace to Sobriety 4 277
Leader Hosen 4 266
