Quizmaster Cup ~ Pop Culture Edition ~ is August 10th!! Registration now open!

Good news Wisconsin quiz kids!!

After a 15-month hiatus, Quizmaster is pleased to announce that Quizmaster Cup, Milwaukee's pub trivia tournament, returns on Sunday August 10th! (If you've got the info already, REGISTER HERE).

Given the recent success of our numerous specially-themed trivia events, this Quizmaster Cup is being dubbed the "pop culture edition." Expect fantastic questions from the topics listed above as well as Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, the Walking Dead, Lost and more!!!

This will mostly be a TV and movie quiz but will touch on other aspects of pop culture too!!

Quizmaster Cup FAQs

Do we pre-register, sign up online? 
Yes. This is one of our few pre-registration quizzes. Based on the venue's seating arrangement, and for our convenience organizing the event, we're allowing teams to register in groups of 4, 6 or 8. No individual sign-ups this time out. Teams can REGISTER HERE.

Okay, how much is it? 
$10 per person early bird special! Sign up online before the event and save. $15 at the door. Online registration will close Friday August 8th at 6 p.m., 48 hours before the event.

What's the seating arrangement?
A floor plan of the Lakefront Brewery can be seen below. Here's the deal:

• Lakefront Brewery has seating for up to 240 people. 
• There is room for a minimum of 32 teams. 
• Tables in blue have room for 8 players (the limit for this event).
• While tables in green seat 6. 
• Teams of four will likely share a larger (blue) table with another team of four. 
• Quizmaster will allocate tables to teams upon sign-up. The first teams to sign up will get the best seats (close to the stage and bar).

Can I wear a special outfit or costume?
Absolutely. Our sponsor for this event is Irish Fest, so we're encouraging any Irish-themed outfits. At the very least WEAR GREEN!!

What are the prizes?
We've lined up numerous prizes for this one. Of course, first place gets the coveted Quizmaster Cup trophy, plus we'll be giving away...

• Irish Fest tickets
• Lakefront Brewery beer & tour tickets
• Gift cards to local Quizmaster pub venues
• CDs, t-shirts and other random swag
• FREE HUGS from the Quizmasters (okay, just kidding about that 'prize', but really we will be hugging freely).

Can people under 21 play?
We'll get back to you on that ASAP. Still waiting to hear from the venue. However, we suspect people under 21 will be allowed in.

Will Lakefront Brewery be serving food?
No. Unfortunately, the brewery usually only serves food on Friday night's and bringing in a caterer for this event would be quite an ordeal. Please take note and plan ahead.

What else?
Quiz veterans who've participated in previous Quizmaster Cup events should know that we've cut down on costs for this event (chiefly the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medals we previously had), so we could pass the savings on to the quizzer. At previous Cups entry has been $20-$25, and this time around the $10-15 fee is much more modest. The more quizzers the merrier!!!

Don't Have a Quiz, Man! The Simpson Quiz is Sunday July 27th.

Aye, Caramba! After 25 seasons of entertaining America and the world, we at Quizmaster bring you The Simpsons Quiz on Sunday July 27th. And what better place to host this one-time D'oh-down than at Jack's American Pub...

The quiz will cover a whole plethora of Springfield (and some Shelbyville) topics dating as far back as the family's first appearance on The Tracy Ullman Show in 1989. The quiz will follow the usual six-rounds, 30-questions format, with prizes as usual for 1st place, 2nd place and the best Simpsons-inspired team name.

The event will be $5/person with the dollars going to a charity of the winning team's choice.

As always, it's advised to ARRIVE EARLY, as these events are often jam packed and even with the two-story capacity of Jack's it will likely be like a nuclear power plant meltdown: overflowing with quiz peeps (just ask the 29 teams from our Star Wars Quiz).


Specially-themed quiz FAQs

Do we pre-register, sign up online? 
No. We do these events like it's 1999. Just show up --- we advise you arrive a little early to grab a good seat --- drink, think and have fun. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, no reservations.

Okay, how much is it? 
Five-dollar-holla. Or $5 as you common folk might say. Bring cash, pay the Quizmaster and take homage in knowing that your money's going to a good cause.

It's for charity?
In most cases yes. Events vary but proceeds from various special-themed quizzes go to a selected charity of the winning team's choice.

What are the prizes?
This will vary with each event but typically most are offering standard moolah for first place, second place and the best themed team name.

Can I wear a special outfit or costume?
Absolutely. Particularly if you want to feature on the blog. Hey, in some cases we even have costume contests and give out extra stash for those dressed up folks!

Can people under 21 play?
That's out of our hands we're afraid, and will vary depending on the venue. We'll be sure to communicate that via our Facebook page for each specific event, but if you're unsure just call the venue in advance to find out.

Is there a team-size limit? 
Surprisingly no! While we typically have an 8-person limit for our regular quiz nights, we keep the specially-themed events open. Why? Well, we figured you'll need all the brain power possible, plus it means more players, and more money, for a good cause.

Do spectators have to pay? 
Yup. If someone on your team is just there and "doesn't really know anything" they still have to cough up the 500 cents. Just assure them it's going to sick kids in Africa and they should feel good about their donation. Oh, and they can deduct it from their taxes too.

I own/manage a venue. Can I host such an event at my bar?
It depends. We only work with existing Quizmaster clients on our specially themed event, so hire us now and perhaps we can work something out. Such venues must fit certain criteria too.  Location and venue size are key, especially when we've been known to pull in over 100 people for certain events.

You'll Never Quiz Alone. The All-Things-Football Pub Quiz is July 6...

It's that time again, World Cup season! And with the tournament only happening once every four years, we've gotta take advantage of the festivities.

Having said that, the Three Lions Pub will be our host on Sunday July 6th for our All-Things-Football Pub Quiz...

And just so we're not lost in translation, of course by football we mean futbol (or soccer for you rednecks).

With the Three Lions having been a melting pot for Premier League fans (particularly "scousers") this past season, there is no better place in Wisconsin to hold such an event. The quiz will take place one week before the World Cup final --- there will NOT be any World Cup matches that day.

"You'll Never Quiz Alone" pays homage to the popular football chant, You'll Never Walk Alone, sang by Liverpool and Celtic fans…

But if you didn't know that already you probably want to give this quiz a miss!

Topics for the event will include World Cup, Premier League, Champions League, pop culture and a plethora of other football-related trivia.

Again, a $5-per-person entry fee will be asked for from all players (pay on the night), with the proceeds going to a charity of the winning team's choice. Arrive early though as such events have been known to be packed (ask the Harry Potter fans) in the past.

Quiztime is 7pm sharp on Sunday July 6th.
