INTERESTING MOMENTS

One player cheered for prostate cancer & hemophilia.

When we asked a leaked current events question about where Katy Perry got trapped, two teams went with “in a relationship with Justin Trudeau”.

Having bid that they could name 7 Shakespearean tragedies, one team just gave up and walked back to their seat. We’ve never seen anyone quit so readily.

And our leaders have maintained their place at the top of our tournament leader board.

ANU Trivia – New Venue – Badger & Co – Wednesdays

ANU Trivia

ANU trivia is kicking off in a new venue on campus.

ANU Trivia

Wednesday Trivia

It’s at Badger & Co right in the middle of ANU, and it is kicking off every Wednesday at 6:30pm.

Trivia ANU

We’ve got interesting trivia, we’ve got the kitchen all set to feed you, a fully stocked bar,  and we’ve got great prizes courtesy of Badger & Co.

Canberra uni trivia

Badger & Co – ANU Trivia

Badger & Co isn’t your average pub, and the crowd there isn’t your average crowd.  Luckily, iQ Trivia doesn’t do average trivia. So it’s bound to be a great night out… unless you hate trivia… and arguing with your friends… and pubs… in which case you might as well stay home.

ANU Trivia Wednesday

If you’re the kind of person who has memorised every Melbourne Cup winner, congratulations. You are a very dull person, and that probably won’t help you. This isn’t an exam. Rather than just spitting out facts, you’ll have have to do some lateral thinking. We will ask questions 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 every Wednesday.

Happy hour runs from 4 to 6 so make sure you get in early to take advantage of it.

As always, we’ve got a homework question to give you an advantage. If you want to get the homework question every week, just send an e-mail to homework@iqtrivia.com.au with Badger & Co in the subject line to be added to our mailing list.

And the Facebook page dedicated to the show will have additional information to help you out.

Book yourselves in for ANU trivia at the only trivia spot on campus on 6147 5556 or on their website.

And we will see you at 6:30pm every Wednesday at Badger & Co.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 2 August 2026

Times are tough for a lot of people. And there’s a lot for people to complain about.

This week with your team name, we want to know the most out of touch complaint you’ve ever heard someone make.

We had to get rid of our second au-pair

My caviar delivery was an hour late

Since my house flooded I’ve been living in my other house

This year I can only afford to spend three weeks in Tuscany

Any out of touch complaints will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team gave us a summary of the plot of To Kill A Mockingbird including character names, but couldn’t remember the name of the book.

One player had sufficiently little faith in his teammates that he charged back from the bar in the middle of ordrering to answer a question rather than risk them messing it up.

When we asked for London football clubs, we didn’t expect someone to go with Liverpool.

And our quarterly tournament has a clear leader as we approach the half way point.
