Trivia Night

Calling all Trivia Buffs: our first (and hopefully last) Virtual Cossitt Trivia Night will take place on Saturday, February 20th from 8:00-9:30pm from the comfort of your own homes. This year's theme is "Corona Chic." So, grab your favorite elastic waistband pants and get ready to play! Our event is hosted by Hambone Trivia and questions will require reason, in addition to recall, so everyone can play no matter your level of trivia knowledge.

Cost for the evening is $25.00 / person. We strongly encourage safe COVID practices. Teammates who do not live together should participate via a zoom link that will be provided by the host. Ten brains per team and you're on the honor system, so no Googling! Mulligans can also be pre-purchased. See the Sign Up Genius for more details and pricing.

It's February...in a pandemic...what else do you have going on?! Let's Play!
