Trivia at Moderation has something for everyone, with themes and questions on as wide a range of topics as I can manage.

We start with the signature stream of consciousness round - ten questions of increasing difficulty, each linked to the one before and after it by some connection you have to figure out.

After one theme round and a picture round, you spin the wheel to decide on the themes of the second half! See some recent questions below to get an idea.

Don’t like the questions? This is a democracy - I’ll take any suggestion and make a round out of it, if you promise to come back.

Play in teams of up to six, or come on your own and join the bar team, where there’s always a spot for you on the roster.

This week’s trivia saw some fine displays of knowledge, the kind that would have most rhinestone cowboys giving up partway through. But these trivia heroes got the job done, from European capital homophones (roam, burn) to that time Freedom Friday fell on a Tuesday. Congratulations to our winners:

a team without a name is just as smart

and runners up

probably overthinking it

… and to everyone who played along on this raucous Tuesday night. The next trivia is on April 8th, see you in two weeks!
