Last night we had Trivia Night for adults 18+. As usual we had some snacks & drinks available. Unfortunately only 1 person came so the event was cut short. But I still wanted to post the questions & some pictures for info.
I got most of the movie questions from an early 2000's movie quiz book I have & the other questions came from my library stats or online.
The format that I used was similar to Jeopardy with 6 different numerical amounts for questions points & 5 questions in each group. The questions were split between Books & Movies.
I'm hoping we can try the event again in the future & get some people to show up.
