trivia contests

Pub quiz events

Trivia contests are competitions testing participants' knowledge of obscure or specialized facts across various subjects—history, pop culture, science, sports.

They range from casual pub quizzes to televised game shows to online competitions: Our team won trivia night at the bar.

The appeal lies in recalling information that serves no practical purpose except winning.
