With Cosplay a huge part of this culture, we encourage fans (but not obligated) to come dressed up for fun or for the Masquerade competition!

Do you have a surplus of knowledge nuggets from years of playing through various video game sagas?
Is your mind palace filled with what some might (wrongly) deem “inconsequential” details about your favourite television shows and movies?
In social situations, do you find yourself holding back from inundating those around you with facts and tidbits about the movie they’re discussing? Or worse – not holding back?
We can help! Join us for Geek Trivia on Monday nights where your nerdy expertise will be not only appreciated, but celebrated!Each week, Trivia Master Alex sets aside a portion of the evening to focus on a different geeky theme (you can check out upcoming themes on our website). And if a particular week’s theme isn’t your speciality, don’t worry! There will still be a lot of randomized trivial geekiness to enjoy! The exception to this is the last Monday of every month, when all the questions will be on a particular theme. The theme for December 22: The Holidays! (please note there will be no Geek Trivia on December 29)
Book a table for your team at levelonegamepub.com/reservations – be sure to put “Trivia” in the details section. Walk-ins are also welcome.
Cost: free with purchase, $9 without purchase (per person)
