And a heads up for Wisconsin fans: the Packers DO play on Sept 11th, but their game is on the road at Jacksonville at Noon, so plenty of time to wind down from that and get ready for this event!

Pending high demand we may add another venue in the MKE area. Check back here or on our Facebook page in a week or so for updates on that.
The quiz will cover material from all the Marvel and DC movies as well as some cross-over comic book trivia too. We will likely throw in some old school film knowledge bombs as well (i.e. circa 1989 Michael Keaton Batman), so get clued up on the classic stuff if you're a 90s child.
Expect the usual prizes for 1st, 2nd and "best comic book team name" and venues will be running specials to tingle the super-senses of eager quizzers.
This quiz will be on a first-come, first-serve basis and entry fees will be paid on the night and will not exceed $5/player.
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?
It varies for each venue. Up to $5/player but no more.
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, mostly likely free beer or bar tabs to the venue.
Can I wear a special outfit or costume?
Absolutely. Particularly if you want your picture taken. 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 dough.
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.
