Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 16 June 2019

Justin Bieber has been at it again, challenging people much older than him to a fight.

We’re sure he’s not alone in wanting to tangle with someone 31 years older than him, so for your team name this week, we want you to challenge a celebrity 31 years older than you to a fight.

Find someone born 31 years before you, challenge them to a fight, and you will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 15 June 2019

Here’s what you may have missed this week at iQ Trivia.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOTS

They knew more than any other team about mountain warfare in the 60s and won cash.

TEAM NAMES

If you ever go to hell, here’s what you’d be thinking.

Donald, is that you?

Where are the damn Nazis?

Awww, I forgot to pack the marshmallows.

Tell chef Ramsay I want my steak medium rare.

This is going to chafe.

Where’s the lube?

All my favourite people are here!

Why didn’t I forward that chain letter?

This is like working for the Guardian

Where are my virgins?

Jesus it’s hot down here.

But I’m Buddhist.

Mother Theresa?

There’s a lot of priests here.

Nice to see you Cardinal Pell.

TriviArt

Salacious Old Canberra Inn

Smoking Elephant Smoker

Villainous Aardvark

Munted Alpaca

Pregnant Uluru

Suspicious Burrito

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had a record low score of 17 from one team who thought the American flag had 5 stars on it.

Another team missed out on a prize by one point after answering that Jamie Foxx starred in Philadelphia. They went as far as to interrupt the answers to insist they were right before having to climb down when they realised Denzel Washington is a different actor to Jamie Foxx.

When we played an instrumental version of Someone Like You by Adele, one team continued singing after the music stopped. (Well, that is if you consider randomly crooning “YOOOOOOOOOO” out of tune to be singing.)

One venue played Material Girl by Madonna two minutes after we asked a music question on the same song. (We’re pretty sure everyone already knew the answer, but maybe someone finally put it together with help form the venue.)

And one team concluded that Tchaikovsky wrote the Super Mario Brothers theme.

Finally, one team yelled out the answer to one of our bonus questions, and another team wrote down what they yelled to get the point. The lesson here is… DON’T YELL OUT ANSWERS.

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 9 June 2019

For your team name this week, imagine that you find yourself in hell.

What would be your first thought?

Who turned off the air-conditioning?

I thought you wore Prada.

Totally worth it!

At least I don’t have to worry about the heating bill.

This looks a lot like Reddit.

Would you turn off that Celine Dion music?

Cool! Free bondage!

Anything that would be your first thought upon entering hell will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

This Week in iQ Trivia – 8 June 2019

Here’s what you may have missed this week at iQ Trivia.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

We have a new record score, as this team hit 82.5.

JACKPOTS

Whether they knew the answer to our question on the flag of the Northern Territory or they just got lucky, this team won cash.

They knew a lot about South American politics, and pigs.

And they knew a lot about eggs… and New Orleans.

TEAM NAMES

Happy stories in six words. This is what you came up with.

Game of Thrones with decent writers

Emailed African prince, received billion dollars

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team had trouble figuring out where the Gulf of Finland was, and a team made up entirely of Brits had apparently never heard of Sheffield.

When they forgot to do the homework question on actors who played the role of Pi in Life of Pi, two teams tried their luck with Peter Pi-per, Popeye, and Pi-thagorus.

One team mixed up Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with The Silence of the Lambs. We would kind of like to see those movies combine.

And a drunk douchecanoe twice yelled out the answers to questions we asked, so we came up with alternate questions on the spot & told him to shut the hell up. Attention douchecanoes… we have a microphone and we will use it to turn a room full of trivia patrons against you.

See you next week.
