Unfortunately, due to low registration numbers, this event is canceled. Registrants will be refunded. We hope to have another trivia night in 2021!

Tech Requirements
Q. What do I need to play?
A. You will need to have a device (phone or computer with a microphone) with the Zoom app. We strongly recommend a computer or tablet over a phone. Get it here: https://zoom.us/download
Q. Do I need to pay for an account?
A. No. Players can use a free account. To create an account, go here: https://zoom.us/signup.
Q. I’ve never used Zoom, where can I go to learn how to use it?
A. Zoom has a great support page with a video, here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362193-Joining-a-Meeting
Q. Will I need to have my camera on during the game?
A. No. You will not need your camera during normal play but we’d love to see you! You can always use a virtual background (see the question below).
Q. Do I need to have my microphone on during the game?
A. No. But you will need a microphone if your teammates are not physically with you and you wish to discuss answers during the team breakouts.
Gameplay
Q. How will questions be presented?
A. The host will verbally ask the question twice for players.
Q. How will I discuss answers with my team without everyone hearing me?
A. After a question is asked, the host will push everyone into “breakout rooms” for time to discuss with their teams. In the breakout room, teams can talk privately without anyone hearing.
Q. How will we submit answers without others hearing/seeing?
A. All answers will be submitted through the chat function upon return from the breakout rooms. The host will set restrictions so players can only send messages to the host. Players will need to list their team name with each answer.
