Are you a fan of the timeless hit television show ‘Doctor Who’? If so, then you might want to brush up on your British science fiction TV trivia, because Geeks Who Drink is honoring the time traveling doctor by hosting a spirited trivia ‘pub quiz’ night at the Century Grill. On Thursday, September 17, Buffalo will join 28 other cities in raising a pint to the iconic show and its rift drifting mad hatter scientist – the show is scheduled to air one week after the event.
The Geeks Who Drink Buffalo chapter is part of a much larger pub trivia establishment that is comprised of 40,000 players throughout the US. The trivia hounds battle it out for cash prizes during themed bouts that tend to get a bit heated. Depending on the theme, the curious episodes evolve into “mini-conventions”, which attract die-hard fans of the topic at hand – Star Wars, Game of Thrones, etc.
In order to play, trivia junkies form teams (six person limit – $5 per player) that they believe have a chance to muster together the correct (and timely) answers. Teams are allowed into the event on a first come first serve basis – and depending on the city, the pub, and the topic, it is not unheard of for contestants to arrive well in advance of game time.
