Not spam if it’s worth joining in. I’ve heard your games are quite challenging, and Wicked Sisters food has been great the times I’ve been there. Good luck.

Cool. I might check it out sometime. In hermit mode at the moment.

always had a good time doing this, glad to see you are coming back around!

Thanks for posting this here! The weekly events thread is impossible to find. Also, glad your trivia is back!

We are new to the area and love trivia nights, but we don't know anyone to make a team. How many do you prefer to have on a team? Can two people rsvp and join other teams?

Thanks! I'm excited to start back there. Wicked Sisters do a great job with making it a great experience for the people playing.

Would love to have you play any time.

Thanks! I'm excited to bring it back so hoping for a great turnout tonight and moving forward.

Thanks! Yeah, I went looking for it (the events thread) but couldn't find it, and it seems like people are fine with this post anyway. Hope some people decide to check out the trivia.

Hey, thanks for responding. We actually have a small team prize, so even if you wanted to just play as a duo tonight then you could still definitely do that, but I can usually find a team for you to join. That's especially true at the moment as I have been contacted by a few different people looking to form/join a team, and I'm pretty sure we could connect everyone fairly easily. Shoot me a message, or we can talk if you guys make it tonight

Just stickied the post, so you should drop it in there too!

Do you have a cap on the size of a team?

Good question. We try to limit teams to 8 ppl, although if you have one or two more people on a particular night then we'll let it slide. If you'll consistently have more than 8 then we usually recommend that you split into 2 teams. I'll still seat the group at tables near each other but it's better not to have one massive group.

I played a lot on zoom when lockdowns first started. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes trivia.

Team VIP can’t wait to get back to it tonight!

Thank you so much! Yes, I got very lucky at the start of the pandemic and had lots of people playing. I still do those games, although it's a lot better now, but I'm excited to get back to doing a few in-person games too. The group we had at Hampden was amazing so I'm hoping to recapture some of that magic.

Thanks for playing during lockdown, and check out either game again any time!

Excited to catch up with you guys. See you all tonight!

I did one a few weeks ago. I played in a large team, so it’s been hard to get everyone together these days. Still enjoy it!

Velvet Rope ready to go.

My friends and I used to go to this every week in the before times, and we're so excited that it's coming back! The questions are challenging, but it's always possible to make a informed guess too, so it's always very satisfying. (We definitely prefer it to another large Baltimore-based bar trivia that I shan't name...)

I asked because the place I used to play at didn't have a limit, as far as I know, but then the bar switched from an independent trivia master to a corporate one who capped teams at six. It also wasn't as fun.

You should tell them to bring back the Buffalo Mushroom bites! I’m not going back till they are back!

Oh and the trivia sounds like fun. We are downstairs a few times when you guys were going and it sounded like fun

Yeah, for my trivia you're definitely welcome to bring a team of up to 8 ppl, and if it's a couple more occasionally then no worries. I want people to have a great time, and I honestly think that once you get above about 6 people it actually makes it harder to come to a decision on many of the answers, plus there's always at least one person with the dreaded "I said that!"
It needs to be a fun game, and obviously I immediately stomp out something cheating if I see it, but I'm not gonna stop your 2 friends who want to join (and push the team over the limit) on a night. It can still be a great and fair trivia without me being ridiculously rigid on rules. Check it out some time!

Sounds fun! My rule for trivia is the answers need to be at least mildly interesting, something you’d want to retell to a friend or at least go “neat!”, not just a recount of information. I hate trivia that’s like “who won the World Series in year x” but I would like a trivia question that was more like “who is the only team to win the World Series with a lefty pitcher?” (This is a made up question).

I’m new to the area and could be down to join a team in the future! @wesleywolfbear on Insta

Hi guys, thanks for the amazing response!

We ended up having an almost packed house (every table and chair except for 1 x 4-top), and 15 teams total. The game went down to the final questions with very deserving champs, and a couple playing at the bar won the small team prize.

I had 5 or 6 people mention seeing the post on Reddit and the feedback on the game seemed to be very positive. I was a little rusty having not hosted there in so long, but I think people seemed to have a lot of fun.

Finally, we did have 2 people from Reddit show up solo who were hoping to join a team. I was able to pair both of them with a group of regulars from a few years back and they ended up finishing 3rd or 4th I think.
Overall I'd say it was a hit and it was great to be back! If you're a trivia person then definitely consider checking it out any Tuesday.

I told the GM about this post. No promises or anything but I did pass on your message! haha

Thanks! I ended up posting in there too. Much appreciated.

Thanks for responding. We had a couple of people show up solo and I was able to pair them up with an existing team. I'd also be more than happy to connect people from Reddit if they get in touch and want to form a team.

Couldn't agree more! My aim is for teams to hear a question and think "we know this", "we should know this", or realize "we don't know this but that's interesting". That's the goal anyway. The game on Tuesday seemed to be well received.

Love it! I’ll definitely come check it out 😊
