Greetings Quirk Nation! We've got a whole host of new board game speed dating events & Pub Trivia Murder Mysteries for you this month, our regular load of Feud & Wordplay, and, for the first time ever, the chance to play our Trivia Murder Mystery on Zoom! Plus, our neurodivergent board game speed dating event was so popular, we're doing another round of it this Sunday!

Let's get into it.

Wordplay

Have you played our newest game? It's called Wordplay. Each round, players complete different word-game-themed challenges. The competition combines elements of Boggle, Scrabble, Wordle, Words with Friends & Wheel of Fortune. For all you Maine-iacs (which we really hope is an endearing term for people from Maine and not an upsetting ones), come join us at Smoked in Portland. No link to buy tickets for this one, it's totally free. So just show up and play...

• The 2nd, 3rd, 4th & (if applicable) 5th Tuesday of every month | 6-8pm | Portland ME | Smoked Portland

Feud Night

We've got another free game we're running called Feud Night. We've polled 100 people and asked them some pretty life-altering questions, like "What is something you might use if you don't have a napkin onhand?" And now it's up to you to guess what they said.

• Date | Time | City | Venue
• 1st Tue every month | 6-8:00pm | Portland ME | Smoked Portland | Free Tickets!
• 2nd Fri every month | 7-8:30PM | Stratford CT | Two Roads Brewing | Free Tickets!

Speaking of asking 100 people some life-altering questions, we need your opinions on our survey so we can build our next epic Feud game!

Moments in TV History

And as always, we're closing things out with a round of trivia, this time about some big moments in television history.

1. What game, inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2015, was originally a dud until Johnny Carson played it on-air with actress Eva Gabor in May 1966? By the next year, Milton Bradley had sold 3 million copies.
2. During a 2004 episode, what iconic TV character announced that before he started eating cookies, his birth name was Sid?
3. Dippy Dawg was the first iteration of a cartoon character now best known by what name?
4. Brennan Swain and Rob Frisbee were the first ever winners of what reality TV show?
