DESCRIPTION:Geeks Who Drink is a Denver-based company that hosts Bar Triv
 ia at over 200 pubs and restaurants in 21 states. Our quiz is a collecti
 ve   effort of dozens of quizmasters\, writers\, fact-checkers\, graphic
    designers and artists.\nWhat&rsquo\;s a pub quiz?\nSimply\, a quiz ga
 me played in a pub. It's an Anglo-Irish tradition\,   but our goal is th
 e same: to foster friendly competition\, and promote   social drinking. 
 A noble cause!\nIsn't that just &ldquo\;trivia night&rdquo\;?\nNo\, and 
 no. Most so-called &ldquo\;trivia nights&rdquo\; consist of either an MP
 3J   reading Trivial Pursuit cards in between bad music\, or a bunch of 
  people  staring at TVs with buzzers in hand. Our quiz burns through  ne
 arly 70  multimedia questions in two exciting hours. The quizmaster  get
 s to know  the players\, and smack talk flying around in all  directions
  is pretty  much par for the course.\nDoes it cost anything?\nWith rare 
 exceptions\, no. You should buy food and drinks though. Our   business m
 odel is no big secret: We drive business to our host venues  or  we get 
 fired. So just ordering water is NOT cool. Plus\, fish have  sex  in tha
 t stuff.&nbsp\;\nDo I need to sign up beforehand or can I just show up a
 nd play?\nJust show up. Team size is limited to six. Play solo if you'd 
 like\, but don't blame us if you're lonely.\nAll right\, so what&rsquo\;
 s in it for me?\nBesides a couple hours of free entertainment\, the top&
 nbsp\; teams get bar   gift certificates. Plus there are chances to win 
 free pints (or   gift-certificate equivalents) for answering five bonus 
 questions   throughout the evening. We also have bizarre prizes courtesy
  of our   weekly Bonus Email Question. Finally\, your team can revel in 
 the eternal   glory of having your photo posted on our website.\nIs the 
 quiz hard?\nIn general\, the quiz starts off easy and progresses in diff
 iculty as   the night goes on. Also\, the quiz is set up to reward the m
 ost  versatile  teams. Most folks over 35 will be stumped on questions a
 bout  the Xbox  360\, while most folks under 35 know little about the Re
 agan  years. And  just about everyone is stumped when we throw in a roun
 d on  country  music.\nTo get a feel for our questions check out a sampl
 e round here: http://geekswhodrink.com/197/Sample%20Quiz/\nWhat's the qu
 iz format like?\nThe quiz consists of eight rounds of eight questions ea
 ch\, played by   teams of up to six people. Questions are read aloud by 
 the quizmaster   and teams write down the answers\, turning them in at t
 he end of each   round.\nRounds 1\,&nbsp\; 4 and 6 are themed rounds &nd
 ash\; anything from &ldquo\;Eight Questions   About Sex That Won&rsquo\;
 t Make You Too Uncomfortable&rdquo\; to &ldquo\;TV Shows Your   Parents 
 Watch.&rdquo\; Round 2 is a music round worth double points: name the   
 artist and title for each song clip. Round 3 is a multiple choice round 
   or a speed round. Round 5 is a visual round based on a printed handout
 .   The all-audio Round 7 usually covers movies or TV shows\, and is wor
 th   the standard eight points. Finally\, Round 8 is always 16 points on
    Random Knowledge.\nOne round can be jokered\, doubling your points fo
 r that round only   (yes\, the 16-point rounds are fair game). The team 
 with the most points   after eight rounds is the winner.
