There can only be one winner, one team that can bend this quiz to their will... join us this November for a quiz all about The Lord of the Rings. Questions will focus mostly on the LOTR movie trilogy, but having book knowledge may turn out to be PRECIOUS. We swears it!
Plus we might throw in a few questions about the Hobbit films too... sorry about that.
And while even the smallest team can change the course of the future, team size for this event is unlimited! Arrive early to grab a good spot though --- as we know, quizards are never late, but arrive precisely when they mean to.
And as always, you shall not pass the quiz if your team uses cellular devices. Quizmasters will strictly enforce this ruling!

But the journey doesn't end there... expect the usual prizes for 1st, 2nd and "best Lord of the Rings team name" and venues will be running specials too.
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. VENUES (**) CHARGING $5 PER PLAYER WILL HAVE A CASH PRIZE ON TOP OF REGULAR BAR TABS PRIZES, usually $100-250 cash for first place. Some venues will offer the event for free (but will not feature a cash prize).
Specially-themed quiz FAQs
Do we pre-register or make reservations?
While most venues operate their themed nights on a first-come, first-serve basis, some venues WILL BE TAKING RESERVATIONS. We advise that you call the location in advance (by at least a couple of weeks sometimes) to make a reservation. If a location is on a first-come, first-serve basis, we advise that you arrive extremely early to grab a good seat.
Okay, how much is it? What are the prizes?
It varies for each venue. Up to $5/player but no more. There will be a CASH prize (as well as regular gift card prizes for 1st, 2nd and best team name) at venues where it is $5 to play.
Can people under 21 play?
That's out of our hands we're afraid, and will vary depending on the venue. We advise that you call the venue directly 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.
