Hello, NYC Trivia League!
Thanks for coming out every week and playing with New York City’s largest live trivia competition. We are at the midway point of our biggest season yet, and things are really starting to heat up.
Score Replacement Nights
Like last season, we are offering score replacement nights. If your team has a score that you’d like to forget, come to one of these nights, and we’ll swap it out for you. You can use also Score Replacement Nights to replace a week that you missed!
This week’s Score Replacement Nights are:
Beer Culture, Midtown — Sunday, December 17 — 6pm
Fawkner, Brooklyn — Sunday, December 17 — 7pm
If you decide to join us, please let your host know which score you would like replaced.
As always, if you miss your regular night at your home bar, you can visit any of our bars to log a score for that week. Here is a link to our current Season 31 Venues.
Every Sunday at 7pm is Fawknerds GameMasters Night at Fawkner. We have Board Game Battles, Drunken Spelling Bees, Team Jigsaw Puzzle Races, and every third Sunday, we have a Themed Trivia Night. This week’s themed trivia night is Liam Neeson. Think you know Liam Neeson? Stop on by and prove it.
We will be rolling out more Game Nights in 2018, starting with Monday Game Nights at E’s Bar, starting January 22nd.
