Surry Hills Trivia – New Venue – Dove and Olive – Tuesdays at 7pm

Surry Hills trivia has found a new home.

And sure enough, it’s one of Sydney’s great trivia spots.

Surry Hills Trivia

It’s the Dove and Olive, and it’s kicking off every Tuesday at 7pm.

We’ve got interesting trivia, we’ve got great food, we’ve got drinks, and we’ve got great prizes courtesy of the Dove and Olive. In short, we have got everything you need for a great night out.

And if you don’t like any of those things, then you are most likely a creepy weirdo and to be perfectly honest we want nothing to do with you.  (Also, why are you still reading this?  Go away!)

If you’re the kind of person who has memorised every Melbourne Cup winner, then congratulations.  But to be honest, we’re probably not going to ask about that.  This isn’t an exam.  Rather than just spitting out facts, you’re probably going to have to do some lateral thinking.  We will ask questions that you won’t see coming.  We will ask questions you probably won’t know off the top of your head, but you will enjoy arguing the answers with your friends.  The IQ in iQ Trivia stands for interesting questions, and that is what we will provide.

As always, we’ve got a homework question to give you an advantage. If you want to be on the e-mail list, just send an e-mail to [email protected] with Dove and Olive in the subject line and we will add you to our mailing list.

And the Facebook page dedicated to the show will have occasional hints and additional information to help you out.

Book yourselves in for Surry Hills trivia by calling 9699 6001 or contact them on their website.

And we will see you at 7pm every Tuesday at the Dove and Olive for the best trivia in Sydney.

New Venue – The Pedlar in Campbell – Mondays at 7pm

The Pedlar is the only bar in Campbell.

They’ve got great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, and now they’ve got Canberra’s most interesting trivia.

iQ Trivia is kicking off at The Pedlar Mondays at 7pm starting on 16 November.

They’ve got a full menu to get you fed.

And we’ve got a homework question to help you win. Contact us on [email protected] with Pedlar in the subject line to be added to our mailing list.

Book yourselves in by calling 5100 5929 or on their website.

And we’ve got everything else you need to know on our Facebook page.

See you at The Pedlar Monday at 7pm.

New Venue – Siren Bar in Gungahlin – Mondays at 7pm

Siren Bar isn’t you’re average bar.

We don’t do average trivia.

Now Gungahlin has Canberra’s best trivia complimented by Canberra’s best food & drink.

Every Monday at 7pm you can find iQ Trivia at Siren Bar.

Siren is putting on a schnitzel and beer special for $25.

To help you win at trivia, make sure you’re getting our homework question by contacting us at [email protected] with “Siren” in the subject line.

Book yourself a table at 6162 0377, and you can find out more about the show on our Facebook group.

See you at Siren Monday at 7pm.

Online Challenge Quiz

We’ve got a new format for iQ Trivia Online tonight on our Twitch channel at 8pm.

It’s the Challenge Quiz.

We will have one featured team videoconferencing with our host and competing against EVERYONE else.

The idea is they get the questions first, and everyone watching gets the questions on a short delay. But they only get one guess, and a short time to discuss answers before locking in their choice. Everyone watching gets to guess as many times as they like.

If our featured team gets an answer before everyone commenting on Twitch, they get the point. If an answer comes up in the Twitch feed before they lock it in, the points go to everyone else.

So you can literally take on the world (of iQ Trivia fans at least.)

Or you can pop over to Twitch at 8pm and try your best to ruin someone else’s night.

If you want to be our featured team, contact [email protected]

We will see you there.

New Canberra Venue – To All My Friends – Wednesdays at 7:30

Wednesday. It’s the middle of the week. You’re more than halfway to the weekend.

And now it’s got Australia’s most interesting trivia.

We’ve got a new how starting on 31 July at To All My Friends in Cook.

It kicks off at 7:30 with plenty of questions to get you arguing with your friends.

New Venue – Tattersalls Hotel, Goulburn – Wednesdays

Goulburn has got a new home for trivia every Wednesday.

Starting on 20 March, Tattersalls Hotel in the heart of Goulburn will be staging the most interesting trivia in town.

It’s the best way to spend a Wednesday evening unless you hate interesting trivia, cheap drinks, and delicious food, in which case we’d prefer it if you stayed away and made room for our kind of people.

Make sure you get in for happy hour before the show kicks off for $4 schooners from 4 to 6, and the kitchen will have you covered when it comes to brain food.

You can get ahead of the game with our homework question.  E-mail us on [email protected] to have it sent to you every week.

And you can find out more on our Facebook page.

Call 9211 1687 to book a table, and we will see you Wednesday at 7pm.

New Venue – The Occidental Hotel, Sydney – Tuesdays at 7:00

When work ends on Tuesday, you can either head home, or you can head to Australia’s Most Interesting Trivia and get your fix every Tuesday at the Occidental Hotel next to Wynyard.

Whether you’re hungry.

Or thirsty.

Or you just want to win a bar tab and argue with friends and colleagues.

The Occidental has got you covered.  Call them on 9299 2531 to reserve a space.

The show kicks off at 7:00 every Tuesday.  Hints are available on our dedicated Facebook group here, and if you want the weekly homework question e-mailed to you, just contact us at [email protected] with The Occidental in the subject line.

See you every Tuesday at the Occidental.  It sure beats heading home.

Barnardo’s Charity Show – 13 October 2016 – Old Canberra Inn

All you iQ Trivia regulars in Canberra have got something to do next Thursday, as one of our venues, The Old Canberra Inn, will be staging a trivia fundraiser for Barnardo’s on 13 October starting at 7:00.

barnardos-charity-trivia-canberra

The event will raise money for the Deadly All Stars – a group that aims to educate and foster Aboriginal culture for children and young people who cannot be raised in culturally appropriate homes due to child protection concerns.   They aim to further educate the carers of these children so their cultural identity can be integrated into their everyday life.

Both iQ Trivia and our regular host Joe will be donating our time and talent to the event, and anyone with an interest in the cause should get down to support it.

Tickets are $30 a head with a maximum of 8 people per team, and there are some great prizes on offer, including:

  • $500 cash donated by the Old Canberra Inn.
  • A keg of Capital Brewing’s Pale Ale delivered to your door along with all the equipment you need to enjoy that sweet, sweet beer.

There will also be an auction on the night so bring your wallet along if you want to take home additional prizes.

Contact the Old Canberra Inn directly for tickets on 6134 6000.
