Where's the Quizzo?

In case you aren't an avid quizzo player...

Quizzo is a general-knowledge trivia game, played at a bar. It was actually invented in Philadelphia, according to Wikipedia. In other cities, it's called "Pub Trivia" or "Pub Quiz."

I play this game often. It's played at a host of different bars in Philadelphia. A bar will usually play once a- week. You sit, have a couple of beers, hang out with your friends, and answer random questions.

What's the capital of Namibia?

Who is married to Katy Perry?

Who wrote Of Human Bondage?

The format varies, but there are three to five rounds of questions, and each round usually contains 10 questions. As far as I'm concerned, there's no better way to spend an evening. And if you win, you get a gift certificate to the bar, or a discount on your check/tab. 

But in Bala Cynwyd, there's no Quizzo. The Pub at Penn Valley, an establishment which I generally like (good food, drink, etc.) plays a pretty lousy game they call Team Trivia, hosted by a group called Let's Do Trivia. It moves too slowly. There are too few questions. And the person asking the questions hasn't written them, so when something is ambiguous, or poorly worded, there's nothing you can do about it.

I believe Quizzo has enough general appeal, that if there were a solid, once-a-week quiz in Bala Cynwyd, it would garner a loyal following. And then we avid Quizzo players won't have to hop on 76 every time we want to play.
