  • Now that trivia night season is ramping up again, and the list of upcoming events over there on the right is getting longer, I think this is a good time to write about a part of trivia nights that seems to be getting more and more common every year. As I write this post, there [...]13September 22, 2010

    Schmulligans.

  • Inspired by a Nick Rogers Facebook post tonight about Glass Tiger, I decided to make a list of possible questions for a trivia night category. As you might know, Glass Tiger had the help of fellow Canadian Bryan Adams singing backup on their 1986 hit, “Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone)“. I was [...]0April 28, 2010

    Backup!

  • I added a new page to the site to serve as a repository for old rounds from past trivia nights. These are PDF conversions of the original slideshows, so less pizazz but all the content. I’ll add more when I get a chance, and I’m also working on a way to include the [...]0April 11, 2010

    Used Rounds

  • Here are a handful of the text-only categories I’ve used in the last 3 events.  Someday I’ll figure out a good way to convert the audio/video categories too. Title Actors Get Out Life Stories Veeps Finish the Venn Rt. 66 Corporate Mascots More old categories here… 0April 6, 2010

  • It’s that time of year again. If you want to get in on the official SpringfieldTrivia.com NCAA Tournament Pool, just go here and use the password ‘trivia’. There’s no money in it, but think of the bragging rights you’ll be able to claim after using your giant brain to beat every other genius who visits [...]1March 16, 2010

    NCAA Pool

  • Allen & Sheila Reyne put on another great night of trivia Saturday at the FFLC. My wife and I played it with a table full of friends who had never been to a trivia night before, so it was a fun night to hang out. We ended up tied for first after 10, [...]0March 1, 2010

    Good job, Reynes.

  • Thank you to everyone who made it out to the Crime Stoppers trivia night Saturday. It was a great night, and I think everyone had a good time. If you missed it, here are the categories the teams had to deal with.   I converted the slideshows to PDF’s so you miss out on [...]4February 22, 2010

    Thanks!

  • I’m not sure we’ve ever had 5 6 different trivia nights scheduled for the same night here before. This weekend will be the peak of the season so far, for sure. Starting on the North side, the Kof C 4175 Women’s Auxiliary is hosting an event at 2801 West Street. If you’re planning on [...]0January 19, 2010

    FIVE (make that 6) for the Weekend!

  • I’m making a few changes to the website this week, starting with a new, friendlier form for submitting upcoming trivia nights.  I’ve also added links to the Facebook and Twitter pages. Icons for all of the new features can be found in the top right corner. 0January 18, 2010

    New Stuff

  • As the school year goes, so goes the trivia season.  Now that the kids are settling back into their routines, it’s time to get back to regular trivia night action before your tan fades.  Unless something else comes up before September 12, it looks like the first event in Springfield will be the All Sports [...]0August 26, 2009

    Return of the Trivia

  • Dropped in on a really good trivia night at the DAV club tonight.   The team I sat in with was a lot of fun to play with and we actually tied for first (but lost the tiebreaker).  To add insult to injury, when I got home and asked my eight year old daughter one of [...]0June 19, 2009

    Missed it by that much!

  • Thanks to Frank Simpson and company for letting me sit in last night at Southeast.  I’ve played a couple of times with ‘OJ’ before, and he always puts together a good team, so I was glad to see a chair open at his table.  In the end, we were tied with the always formidable Team [...]1March 22, 2009

    Foiled at Southeast

  • What happens in the St. Louis trivia scene usually makes its way north on I-55 soon after.   Let’s hope the newest trend down there doesn’t make the trip.  Have a peek at the upcoming trivia nights in the St. Louis area.  The first thing you’ll notice is the astonishing number of events they have to [...]2March 17, 2009

    A Trend Worse Than Mulligans

  • Make sure you check out Dan Naumovich’s latest Sunday AM column about ‘mulligans’, and their effect on the local trivia night scene.  I happened to have been playing with Dan during both of the mulligan-enriched instances he references in the column, so I saw the wheels turning on this thing before it hit the SJ-R. Love [...]0March 16, 2009
