As much as I enjoy playing competitive team trivia, I really really REALLY enjoy it when playing trivia helps raise money for a worthy cause.
And this year, that means participating in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life Trivia game.
Get your friends and co-workers together, as the top trivia minds in the Capital District compete on Wednesday, May 30 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Martel’s at Capital Hills, 45 O’Neill Street in Albany. It’s a standard “Trivia Nights Live” game – 20 questions of varying difficulty, with a grand prize at the end of the night. There will also be a 50/50 raffle and a “bucket” auction, so bring plenty of donation money for the event.
The cost of entry is just $15/person, and there will be a limit of five players per team. I’ve won this event in the past, and I’m looking forward to taking on A Few Cards Short of a Deck (the current champion), as well as all the other trivia teams in the area.
So get your friends together, and come down to Martel’s on May 30th for the fundraiser. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Is this the game made up of teams of people who work together… EXCEPT for Chuck’s team…who pulls together a team like he does for Trivia Bowls and then says “Oh gosh, my Street Academy team won”?

Hey Dan, why don’t you and your team step up to the plate and participate in this? You know you want to… I hear a lot of talking, but no walking…

If we did then you could HONESTLY say the top trivia minds are competing.

Keep talking, Dan… you know you want to do this, but I don’t see you actually taking that next step. You in or not? Yes or no?

Where’s the link to the game rules this time? Are you putting together a team from your workplace like everyone else does? Yes or no? Will you be making up your own rules, as usual? Yes or no?

It’s not a workforce challenge, Dan… it’s a standard “Trivia Nights Live” team trivia game. You’re just playing to raise money for the Relay for Life charity. Read the blog post, for crying out loud, man…

It doesn’t matter who shows up. We plan on successfully defending our title, even though we may be a split squad.

Is it okay if we bring the girl who goes in the bathroom while the final question is asked and then comes out with the answer?
