Geek Trivia
2025-08-11 18:30 - 21:30 | Level One Game Pub, 14 Waller Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1N 9C4, Canada
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 July 28: The Office!
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: $3 with purchase / person
