We had our biggest turnout yet last night. 86 of you showed up to play trivia. It was a good night.
The Landmark brought in an extra bartender to keep your drinks running smoothly, the atmosphere was bubbly and loud, and people had fun. The Lawn Gnomes finally had their day pulling off a win by just one point. Unfortunately, they didn't draw the winning token and so the jackpot will roll over to next week.
As always, we are working to fine tune the event so it's better and better. We'll continue to strive to write clear and concise questions (sorry about that single term presidency question), and we'll continue to work with The Landmark to hopefully offer more prizes. Keep showing up and keep having fun while you stretch your knowledge of facts and tidbits.
Thanks for playing.
several people have asked me what sort of questions are in the quiz. by the time they ask me, i remember about 25% of the evening's questions, so wondering if you might post past questions so people can get a feel for content?
ReplyDeleteWell, we do have four sample questions in our format post. We decided not to post the past questions because it can be a lot of work and time consuming to come up with questions and we don't want to give that work away free to other people on the internet that might be looking for trivia.
ReplyDeleteThe other reason we decided not to post past questions is because it might give players more impetus to try and argue the validity of our accepted answers. That's not to say that we purposefully write questions with wrong answers, just that we don't want to argue with players after the fact. It sets a bad precedent.
After saying all that, we'll think about perhaps including a couple of questions from each week in the review of the game.
