Every Monday you can find me at a bar on the Upper East Side asking lots of questions.
Mondays at Ryan’s Daughter
Over two hours, there will be four 10-question rounds (described below). Between each round, the bartender will ask a bonus question and individuals can win shots for themselves. At the end of four rounds, the team with the highest score wins a $40 voucher, second place wins a $20 voucher, and last place wins the Dreaded Garbage Shot!
Round Descriptions
Current Events
These are questions about things that have happened in the past seven days, ranging from sports and entertainment to world news and politics to viral stories.
Anything newsworthy is fair game.
Theme Round
Questions all related to a singular topic. Check out our social page (or visit our social media pages) to see a collection of topics that I’ve covered in the past.
Common Bonds
Find a common theme between three seemingly different items.
For example: Question: Dolphins, Jaguars, Buccaneers? Answer: Football Teams (1 point) + From Florida (1 point)
Jeopardy Questions
These questions are taken directly from old episodes of Jeopardy and span a plethora of academic and pop culture topics.
Rules
Team Size
Teams can be comprised of up to six people. This rule is in place to allow teams of two or three a fighting chance.
Honor System
Everyone is here to have a good time, so don’t use the Internet to search for answers. Obviously this can’t be monitored, so we’re using the honor system.
