Oktoberfest Quiz at Frankford Hall
Really excited to host a special one time quizzo this Sunday at Frankford Hall! To help celebrate their Oktoberfest celebration, we’ll be doing a quiz focused on Germany, beer, and festivals. Lots of great prizes and specials in a beautiful outdoor space. I really enjoy the heck out of hosting there. And yes, football will be on the TVs. Hope to see you there!
Quizzo This Week
Tuesday night, I’m back in action at Trademan’s (13th and Chestnut). A beautiful outdoor space, gonna be a great night to quiz. Weather looks perfect. Action starts at 7 PM. A lot of people told me they’d quiz if we did it outside…well here’s your chance!
Wednesday, we’re back at Dock Street, where we continue to rock. Packed house. 8 PM start time. Good beer. Let’s do it.
Two quizzes on Thursday. We kick off with a special pop up quiz at the Deli at Dwell (Game time is 7 PM). We had a blast there on Thursday. Quizzo regular Taryn’s team won our inaugural quiz, and she’ll actually be hosting the quiz on Thursday! Quiz is on, rain or shine. If it rains, we’ll move indoors. Really great space, great food, beer on draft or by the 6 pack, nice owners. Come on out.
Carl takes the reins at Birra at 8 PM. Come out to get some great pizza and a great quiz.
On Sunday, I will be hosting a special Oktoberfest quiz at Frankford Hall! It’s a spectacular outdoor space, lots of great German beer, and a special beer/German theme for the quiz.
It’s quizzin’ season, folks!
Quizzo Pop Up at the Deli at Dwell
Trying out a new quizzo spot next week. The Deli at Dwell (2nd and West Thompson) just opened recently and I went there a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Beers on draft, four packs you can buy out of the fridge, great food, and best of all, a lovely outdoor space. If you know anybody in the Fishtown area who wants to quiz, tell them to come on out! September 16th, 7 PM. If we get a good turnout, maybe we’ll return more often. Hope to see ya there!

Sign Up for the JGT VIP Newsletter
As many of you know, I send out a lighthearted Friday Five newsletter each week. It’s really become a highlight of the week for me, as it encourages me to try, watch, and read new things. But I also send out an occasional VIP newsletter that’s a bit heavier on quizzo stuff. Sort of a State of the Union type thing. With several things happening, gonna send the next one of those out tomorrow. If you wanna receive it, just sign up here.
(And if you’ve signed up for either newsletter but haven’t been receiving them, be sure to check your promotions folder. Sometimes this kinda stuff lands there. Move it over to your main folder.)
Fall Brawl II: Electric Quizaloo
We’re back, baby, and we’re better than ever!* Fall Brawl II kicks off on September 13th, and we can’t wait to see you nerds onscreen again. Sign-ups begin today! You can register here. We had a whopping 50 teams vie for the title last year, and despite our ever-so-slight return to “normal”, we know there are at least a few dozen who still prefer the virtual format. For the others of you who have returned to live quizzing, worry not….you’ll have the opportunity to do both.
For those unfamiliar- your team plays weekly in a private 45-minute Zoom session with a JGT-certified host, giving you a chance to interact with friends near and far while playing your favorite brand of trivia. Sessions are available Mon-Thurs between 7 and 10:45 PM Eastern.
Other details-
SCHEDULE: Season starts the week of September 13th. 8-week regular season followed by 2 weeks of playoffs/consolation games. 9 games guaranteed to all teams.
LEAGUE FORMAT: Depending on how many teams we end up with, it’ll either be broken into divisions with “head-to-head” matchups each week, or kept as an overall seeding format with a tournament bracket for the playoffs.
PRICE: $425 per team, with $25 of that going to charity (PPERC). $200 deposit due by 9/13, balance due by 10/4.
Sign up today! See you in September!

50/50 Raffle for Back to School Gear Tonight at Birra!
We raised over $150 for kids school uniforms at quizzo last night, and we’re back at it tonight!
Carl is back at Birra at 8 PM, and we’re bringing back the 50-50 raffle for a great cause. As most of you know, we’re always doing things to raise money for PPERHC, who work tirelessly with Philly’s most vulnerable residents. Tonight we’ll be raising money to help kids get new school uniforms. $5 a ticket, venmo accepted, winner gets half.
Want to help and can’t make quizzo? Another thing that would be a huge help would be to buy the kids some school supplies. To do so, just order something off of this wish list. It can be one pack of pencils, it can be 10 bookbags. Whatever makes sense for you. Then have it mailed to:
PPEHRC
1505 West Allegheny Ave.
Philadelphia, PA 19132
Thank you, and see ya tonight!
