Priscilla Queen of the Desert Trivia – 23 March
The votes are in, and we have a topic for our first themed trivia at The Oxford on Oxford Street next Wednesday.
It’s going to be about an obscure Australian film called The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
There will be a whole quiz worth of Priscilla questions, and a unique way to get bonus points too.
If anyone from your team comes to trivia next Wednesday dressed as a character from Priscilla, you will get a bonus point.
If your ENTIRE team comes dressed as characters from Priscilla, you will get two bonus points.
So between now and then you can watch the film once or twice, get thinking about wardrobe options, and reserve your spot at the Oxford by calling 9331 3467.
See you Wednesday at 7:00!
Orient Hotel Trivia – Starting 31 March
It’s happening.
After one venue closed down, another will be stepping up to make sure you get your trivia fix every Thursday.
The Orient Hotel in the Rocks is the newest venue to be hosting iQ Trivia, which is great news if you like beer and Parmi & Chips for $15, and even better news if you like Australia’s Most Interesting Trivia.
Hosted by Bill from iQ Trivia, it’s the best way to spend your Thursday evening, unless you are a joyless prig in which case you are banned from iQ Trivia anyway.
If you want the homework question e-mail to you, contact [email protected]
And if you think you might need a bit of help, there will be study hints published weekly here.
See you on the 31st!
