Happy New Year, BrisQuizzers! We’ve had a couple of weeks rest over Christmas, but it’s time to bring back your quizzing. Here’s what you need to know:
Mondays
Trivia will be returning to the Sherwood Footy Club this year with a new, updated pen-and-paper format. Our long-term players will find things similar to the InnQUIZitive format you’ve grown used to, but with a wider variety of question types and game rounds.
UPDATED INFO: Expect a re-start date for Monday trivia in mid-February. The venue is currently renovating their kitchen and hiring a new chef and kitchen team, so players may need to bring their own food or order deliveries for the first few weeks of 2024.
Tuesdays
Nick, Kylie and the team at the Carindale Hotel can’t wait to get trivia running again this year, and we will be back in action starting on Tuesday, January 9th. I’ve taken on board the valuable feedback received through our trials of the TrivNow platform over the past few months, and 2024 will see some refinements to the structure and answering system. Games start every week at 7pm sharp!
Wednesdays
UPDATED INFO: Wednesday night trivia will be returning to The Kenmore from Wednesday, January 17th! In 2024 we will be continuing our long-standing format using questions supplied by InnQUIZitive Big Screen Trivia. Due to space restrictions at the venue, the Wednesday night events are usually fully booked with a waiting list. Please be sure to get in touch with the venue or with Quizmaster Caleb directly if you need to cancel or reduce your booking numbers.
Sad news for our Wednesday players: The Kenmore has suffered some roof damage and flooding in the storms that raged over Christmas, and the Function Room has been badly affected. Repairs and cleaning are underway, but we’re currently uncertain as to the extent of the work required. We are tentatively set to return on Wednesday, January 17th, but this date may be pushed back if the repairs end up becoming entangled in insurance claims and structural work. Keep an eye on BrisQuiz.com or our Facebook Page for announcements and updates as they come to hand.
Thursdays
Although the Function Room is out of action, Vali, Avriel, Josh and the team are all standing by to get Thursday trivia back as soon as possible, with games kicking off again on Thursday, January 11th in the Courtyard area at The Kenmore, weather permitting. Regulars will know that in the event of rain, we’ve previously been able to relocate indoors to the Function Room on a Thursday night, but if you read the section above, you’ll know that’s not currently possible. Please keep an eye on our Facebook Page over the next week for any last-minute updates or cancellations if the rain persists.
Bring your well-charged devices, and get ready for the new and improved system that brings a return to round-based answering with relaxed time limits for teams to discuss answers, and eliminates the awkward account registrations and sign-in process!
I look forward to seeing you all again soon! 🙂
