On Wednesday, March 2nd TrivWorks kicks off our 5th year of mega trivia nights at The Bell House in Gowanus, Brooklyn, hosted by NY1 morning news anchor/veteran game show host Pat Kiernan!

Now, to answer some frequently asked questions about our Bell House trivia nights, for those who have not attended before:

When is the start time? – Doors open promptly at 7pm, planned 7:30pm trivia start

When does it end? – We shall likely end between 9:30-10pm

Am I guaranteed a seat? – Important to note: The Bell House is a mixed seated/standing venue – there has been a tremendous response to this event, and we are expecting a sellout attendance; as such, there will NOT be enough seats for everybody. You ARE guaranteed to have fun no matter what, however as always, we strongly recommend you arrive early WITH YOUR ENTIRE TEAM for best seating options

What kind of trivia questions will Pat be asking? – Pat will be challenging the room on a wide range of fun pop culture-themed trivia questions, all falling neatly under the “red carpet” theme: award-winning movies, TV shows, actors/actresses, music, Broadway, literature and more – including memorable moments from awards shows past!

What is the format? – Our events at The Bell House are designed as team trivia contests, with Pat announcing multiple rounds of full-room trivia for  EVERYBODY in attendance! In between rounds while scores are being tabulated, Pat will draw raffle tickets to invite individuals up onstage with him for head-to-head trivia, and the chance to win one of the great prizes listed above.

Can I come alone? – You can, however we shall be conducting this as a team contest; good news, however – this audience is incredibly friendly! If you are planning to attend by yourself, you will easily find a team to play with (we can assist you in joining an existing team, if needed).

How many players can there be on a team? – To help keep the event as fair as possible – as well as facilitate our grading process, with upwards of 80 expected teams (phew!) – we limit team sizes to 8 people. We also ask that smaller teams join together, to create what Pat affectionately refers to as a “trivia powerhouse” – this helps our scoring process, while also improving your chances of winning!

Do we need to submit our team name in advance? – YES! This is an important note logistically: teams will be asked to submit their names immediately upon arrival, so please discuss with your fellow players in advance, BEFORE you arrive at the venue (and certainly before you arrive at the check-in table!)

Can I cheat? – No.

Well, can I use my phone at all? – Yes! This is an extremely social media-friendly event; we encourage you to tweet, Instagram, snap, tag, take videos, etc. – you or one of your teammates may even get to go onstage with Pat for 1-on-1 trivia, and you’ll certainly want documentation…! (Pat’s also been known to roam the room to take selfies with the crowd in between rounds during scoring)

Are tickets still available? – Yes! However, we do expect this event to completely sell out, and strongly recommend securing tickets in advance, rather than the night of at the door!

I still have questions – who can I talk to? – You can submit any additional question via the “Leave A Comment” section below, Email david@trivworks.com, or tweet @TrivWorks – we’ll get back to you right away!
