I played Sporcle trivia at Memphis Chess Club last night. They have 6:30 and 7:30 games every Thursday night. Each game pays off a $20 gift card for first place and a $10 gift card for second place.<\/p>\n
You don’t need to install the Sporcle app on your phone to play. You just scan the QR code and enter the game number provided by the host. Easy peasy.<\/p>\n
Each game has eight regular questions, which you weight 1-8 points based on your confidence in your answer. Some Q’s offer a chance to pick up an additional nerd point.<\/p>\n
Questions 5 and 10 are quick 4-part questions around one topic for 2 points each.<\/p>\n
Question 11 is Final Jeopardy-style. You’re given the category and wager 0-15 points before seeing the question.<\/p>\n
Fun and fast-paced. I finished third, just out of the money, in both games. I swung for the fences both final rounds. I should have been more conservative.<\/p>\n
Memphis Chess Club has a full bar and coffee shop… however, I got the $5.50 bottomless Mountain Dew.<\/p>\n
I will play trivia there again, although not every week since Thursday is my normal E&H night.<\/p>\n
Sunset Jazz returns to Court Square this Sunday 6-8 PM. Lawn chairs are welcome.<\/p>\n
The Grizzlies will hold a garage sale<\/a> at FedExForum Saturday, August 22.<\/p>\n Back soon with more news.<\/p>\n I gratefully accept tips:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> I played Sporcle trivia at Memphis Chess Club last night.
