Quizzo Bowl FAQs

We’re sold out! At least for now, there could be a few tickets opened up (see below). But as of now we’re booked.

WHO: Teams of up to 8 players.

WHAT: Quizzo Bowl XVIII, the Grandaddy of Them All.

WHEN: This Sunday, February 4th. Doors at 3 PM, show starts at 4 PM.

WHERE: Yards Brewing, on 5th and Spring Garden.

WHY: Why not?

WILL THERE BE LIVE MUSIC? Yep, Philly’s pre-eminent polka band, Polkadelphia, is going to be rocking the house all evening.

ARE THESE GUYS GOOD? The best.

IS THERE A THEME? Not really, it’s a general quiz. I’d expect a few questions about beer, in one form or another. Music round will be live. 6 rounds overall, 48 questions.

QUICK REQUEST: Team captains, please fill in this form, so we know what teams are attending. We’ll also see if there are any more tables available for potential extra attendees. Also, if your team got tickets but you were unable to before it sold out, please shoot me a line at johnny at johnnygoodtimes dot com and we’ll see if there’s anything we can do.

WHAT ELSE? I’m requesting that everyone wear polka dots. And Fastball Bob will be there. Best of all, Chip Chantry will NOT be there. It’s a win-win.

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE WIN? You enter the Realm of Immortals. In 17 previous years, we’ve had 8 different winners. Could your team be the 9th? Previous winners are:

  • The Champs
  • Sofa Kingdom
  • Lambda
  • Guys in Prison
  • Cracked Pact
  • Meatloaf
  • Boyz II Menehune
  • The Special Masters

PRIZES? Yep, we’ll be doing raffles and giveaways all night long. Plus $1000 worth of prizes for the top 3 finishers. And a prize for 13th place. Oh and a trophy for the winner. With flames on it.

EVENT PAGE: Here’s the Facebook page for the Quizzo Bowl. Will be the best place for up to the minute info on the Bowl as we get closer, and for attendees to post photos when we’re done.

WILL THERE BE AN AFTERPARTY? I think so. Still working on it, should know something soon.
