And due to unprecedented demand for the event, we are now hosting it at two venues. Who's on Third, 1007 N Old World 3rd Street AND Jack's, 1323 E. Brady Street, will BOTH hold the Friends quiz simultaneously on October 5th.
Who's will feature $3 Miller Lite taps and $3 Skyy Bombs, as well as $2.50 PBR tall boys as quiz night specials. Additionally, the typical prizes for first place, second place and the best Friends-themed name will be awarded.
Jack's will offer $12 PBR buckets, $3 rumple and Fireball shots, $4 Smirnoff bombs, and $2 for 2 sliders...
Also, the quiz will be $5/player --- a special one time fee for putting on this event, which we think will be huge!! In the case that there are too many players (like our Harry Potter quiz at Who's back in June), overflow from Who's will be sent next door to the Milwaukee Brat House, and the quiz will be simultaneously hosted at THREE venues, with triple prizes!!
The quiz comes in celebration of the show's 20 year anniversary, having debuted on September 22nd, 1994.
We're looking forward to it! See you all then.
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 drink while you think!
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.
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.
I own/manage a venue. Can I host such an event at my bar?
It depends. In almost all cases, we only work with existing Quizmaster clients on our specially themed events, 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.
