Reliving Your Childhood Quizzo Starts on Big Money Tuesday (Plus Phils Tix to Give Away)

Going to be a very fun quiz this week. Designed to take you back to your childhood, whether you were a child of the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s. All questions will be about toys, kids tunes, video games, and other childhood delights.

We start at O’Neals at 8 p.m., where we have a new winner pretty much every week. It’s parity run amok. $3.50 Mexican beers.

On to the City Tap House, where in addition to great specials (personal pizza and a beer for $10, $3 Sly Foxes) and huge prizes ($100 gift certificate for first, $50 for 2nd), I’m going to be giving away a pair of Phillies tickets for this Friday’s game. It’s been quiet there lately, so it’s a great spot to earn a few JGTSI points as well. Action starts at 10:15 p.m.

JGT Super Sports Quiz on July 31st

The JGT Super Sports Quizzo Spectacular is being pushed back a week. We are working on getting some totally bitchin’ prizes, so we’re gonna need a little extra time. So here’s the deal: the quiz will take place at 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 31st. The winner is gonna get an awesome prize. We’re still working on specifics, but it should be badass. So mark your calendars. All sports questions, with an emphasis on football, baseball, and basketball. Lots of great giveaways and specials. And yes, it will count in the JGTSI.

All New Denver Style Quiz Tonight for French Fry Thursday

After two days, I have to say the thing I like most about the Denver quiz is that I’ve only got to host it for one more night. Don’t get me wrong. I get the impression that people like playing it. But hosting it is another matter. Grading 8 rounds? Writing 64 questions? When did quizzo become hard labor? I might as well get a real job.

A few things to note. First off, I think tonight’s quiz will be slightly easier than the earlier quiz. That McDonald’s round turned out almost impossible. But the music round will still be hard, since it has to be, since Denver has joker rules that don’t make any damn sense.

We start at Ugly American at 8 p.m. $1 corn dogs, $3 Lagers. On to the Bards at 10:15 p.m. UA was bumpin last week, but Bards was kind of quiet. If you are hoping to get on the JGTSI scoreboard, I think you should probably get the squad together tonight. We’re coming up on crunch time, and you don’t want to take your chances on Wild Card Week (to be explained soon). Also, I went to Spike’s today to look at trophies. The City vs. City Smackdwon Trophy is gonna be sweet. I’m also thinking about getting one for next Sunday’s sports quiz (July 24th). That’s gonna be at City Tap House. Details coming soon.

Tonight: Denver Quiz is…Interesting

An interesting first ever night with the strangely styled quiz. Packed house at O’Neals, things still fairly quiet at CTH. The quiz is a little bit harder than usual, but it’s a much different quiz. There are 64 questions, so there will be no perfect scores. It seemed to move fairly quickly, only slightly longer than my typical quiz, which was surprising since music rounds usually tend to take a while. I get the impression that most people in Philly are bigger fans of the JGT- style quiz, but it’s a fun experiment. There are some things I like better than my quiz (more theme rounds, which are easier to do when all questions are worth the same), and some things I like better about mine (easier to keep track of leaderboard, as you’ll always know how more or less what you’ll need to do to catch up in the final round.) But it’s fun to try something new, and it will give our teams that qualify a taste of how the Smackdown is gonna go.

Anyways, we do Denver style again tonight. First at the Vous. Always tough competition, and always awesome drink specials. Action starts at 6:15. $2 PBRs and $3 Dundee Brown bottles. On to the Black Sheep. 8 p.m. 3 different winners in the past 3 weeks. Is this your week?

Oh, and in case you hadn’t noticed yet, there is a new facebook physical challenge. At the ballpark or the beach. A good way to earn some points. Oh, and a rules change. You gotta play at least once to qualify for the Invitational. (Pong and Jenny, I’m looking at you.)

Big Money Tuesday Kicks Off Geeks Who Drink Rules Week

All different rules at quizzo this week, and you trivia junkies should be pleased…64 questions instead of our normal 44. Action starts tonight at O’Neals, where we’ve had a remarkable 7 different winners in the past 7 weeks. On to the City Tap House at 10:15 p.m. Things have been way quiet there lately. If you are looking to score yourself some points in the JGTSI, that’s where you want to play. Not to mention that the winner walks with $100 gift certificate. And with not many teams playing, this next month before the bane of Philly’s existence Penn kids return will be your best shot to walk with big money. Hope to see ya tonight!

New Harry Potter Quiz Tonight

Koob and Kristy are kicking off their new quizzo tonight at Chenango with an all-new Harry Potter quiz. Even if you played the quiz on Thursday, you are welcome to play again tonight to kick off their new quizzo at Chenango (1031 Germantown Avenue, next door to Arrow Swim Club). Furthermore, you can get a great deal at Chenango even if you don’t win. There is a deal today on Dealyo that gets you $40 worth of food for $20. Quiz starts at 8 p.m.

JGTSI Scores Updated Through 5 Weeks

Here is the updated scoreboard. With a win and 6 physical challenge points this week, Brown Betty has taken a commanding lead. Now that Steak Em Up is way down the list, maybe I should offer a prize for whoever scores the most points. I’ll think about it. Teams in yellow are in contention for the bonus prize, while teams in blue would also earn invites if the season ended today. Teams in the green…well, they better start scoring some points in a hurry, or they won’t get the opportunity to defend Philly’s honor against Denver on August 7th.

Your best place to score points in a hurry? There have been 7 different winners in the past 7 weeks at O’Neals, and City Tap House has been wide open this summer. Things have slowed considerably since school ended at CTH, but the prizes are just as awesome as ever, and during the summer they are easier to win. $100 Gift certificate to the winner, $50 for 2nd place. If you want to win and get into the mix, I’d highly suggest the City Tap House next week.
