¡TriskaTrivia! is Evolving!
It is now ¡InterActive TriskaTrivia!
Instead of one theme for the entire night, each round will have it’s own topic/theme… and you get to decide what it is!!!
In between each round, we will vote on a selection of topics, and the next round will be based on the one with the most votes! So… that means, the more people on your team, the more votes you get… and you’ll steer what direction the questions take.
Don’t like sports? Vote for Classic Movies… Don’t like movies? Vote for Comic Books or World Geography…
Top two teams still get Triskelion Gift Certificates (ie Glorious Prizes)…
You can still only have up to 6 people on your team…
There are still six rounds with ten questions each, and there is still a Very Hard Questions round… the only difference is that you get to decide what the topics are…
We start at 7pm promplty and proceed to rapid fire questions that usually last until 8:30…
Come on out and test yer brainz!!!

This event is free and open to the public.
Founding father and master inventor Benjamin Franklin was also a pioneer of self-improvement. In 1727 Franklin formed the Junto, a weekly mutual-improvement club made up of a group of his peers and fellow Philadelphia tradesmen to discuss 13 core virtues and explore how to better incorporate them in their lives – and use them as a foundation for enriching the world. The club became the launching pad for all sorts of civic initiatives: the public library, the post office and the volunteer fire department, which have had a lasting impact on society.
Join us while we gather to discuss the 13 virtues in the context of the present day. We’ll meet weekly for 13 weeks and commit to making better and more conscious choices about our own behavior and work with others to spread those virtues through acts of kindness and good deeds. There is no cost and it is open to all!
