This Week in iQ Trivia – 31 January 2026

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

WINNERS

JACKPOT

We love it when a team comes last in trivia, still chooses to go in for the jackpot… and then wins it.

It doesn’t matter how you do on the quiz. The jackpot is entirely separate. You only need to know one thing, and you never know when you’re going to get lucky.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We played a clip of Return to Innocence by Enigma, and one team, helped considerably by their level of alcohol consumption, joined in enthusiastically with the native chanting… only to find out later that the chanting was actually about getting drunk.

What animal learned to use a stick? A stick insect.

We really owe a shout out to Hannah, who regularly wins our trivia in Dee Why, but isn’t allowed to win because she works there. But she does better than entire teams, and she does so while working behind the bar.

And there were some new winners, but no change at the very top of the leaderboard.
