The East Coast’s ultimate multimedia trivia
experience makes its Los Angeles debut on
Wednesday, June 22, with a $200 grand
prize!
Do you possess an encyclopedic knowledge of TV series finales? Can you figure out
what Sarah Palin has in common with chocolate-covered toffee? Do you know what four-
letter acronym was popularized by the movie American Pie? If not, can you make people
who do know laugh? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you belong at The
Big Quiz Thing, the multimedia live trivia game show that you get to play! And now,
having thrilled thousands up and down the East Coast, the BQT finally makes its Los
Angeles debut, at El Cid on Wednesday, June 22, with a $200 grand prize!
Much more than a bar trivia night, the Big Quiz Thing has been a New York sensation
since 2002, and has brought its live quiz experience to Boston, Philadelphia, D.C.,
and beyond. Video and audio puzzles (this edition featuring ’The Bipolar Movie
Challenge’ and ’Slooow Songs’), the lightning round, ’the Three-Way Finale’—plus the
smartest, most entertaining trivia questions anywhere, possessed of that special quality
called ’figureoutability’—The Big Quiz Thing is the event that no self-respecting geek
can afford to miss. Perhaps literally: The winning team takes home the $200 grand prize,
plus the glory of knowing they possess more useless knowledge than anyone else in L.A.
And even if you aren’t a genius of serious trivia, there’s hope: If your wrong answer
solicits a smile from the quizmaster and his team, if it makes the audience laugh, it’s
counted correct: You earn a Smart-Ass Point. Everyone gets to plays, everyone laughs.
Come see the event The Onion called ’way more than a middlebrow excuse to drink
beer,’ The New Yorker labeled ’a great place to train for Jeopardy! while laughing it up
with strangers,’ and the Huffington Post declared ’the best regular trivia competition that
Manhattan has to offer.’ In a culture of bite-size information and prepackaged wisdom,
nothing is nobler than a live quiz show, and in the world of live trivia, absolutely nothing
is better than The Big Quiz Thing.
The Big Quiz Thing makes its Los Angeles debut at El Cid, 4212 Sunset Blvd, Los
Angeles, California, Wednesday, June 22, at 8pm. Admission is a mere $10, and
there is a $200 cash grand prize. For more info, visit bigquizthing.com or e-mail
