Every Wednesday night from 8-10 p.m., Geeks Who Drink host some trivial fun at Pub Quiz Night at the Tin Whistle Irish Pub. This is not your average trivia. In fact, the employees at the pub referred to it as “trivia on steroids.” Eight rounds of eight clever and mind-boggling questions will undoubtedly have you crack up laughing with your teammates. Each team can have up to six players, and by 8 p.m., the pub is packed full of teams ready to rock.
Each round has a different category ranging from slap-happy movies, to fun matching drink games. One of the rounds asked various questions, but the kicker was that you could only answer the question using the words “red” or “blue.”
Another neat round was the music round. The host played American songs covered by foreign artists, and the idea is to listen closely to get the name of the original American song and artist.
If you know your alcoholic drinks, the matching round would be perfect for you. There is a sheet of paper given to each team with the names of alcohol in different cups, and you have to match each to its drink name.
The slap-happy movies was a round that showed different scenes to different movies where the characters were either slapping or being slapped. The object was to recognize the movie that the slap-happy scenes were from.
One of the more challenging rounds was when the host gives you a word, for instance “plunge,” and for each question asked you can only use the letters in that given word. Some rounds are more challenging than others, but they target the questions to various personalities and age groups so anyone and everyone can play and have a good time.
If you find yourself complaining about your boring Wednesday night, remember Pub Quiz Night at the Tin Whistle, Geeks Who Drinks do a phenomenal job making sure everyone is laughing and having a great time with their more-than-trivia fun!
