We are CoolTable Trivia

Get ready to experience the Fox Valley's best trivia game. Join us for a fun and modestly challenging night of questions and prizes!

Our trivia game isn't the "high-octane, in-your-face, shouting-out-answers" show that other companies have. Nor are we a "graded-by-the-competition" game.
CoolTable Trivia is a relaxed, seated-with-your-friends, type-in-answers trivia game for folks who would like to play trivia, but also socialize with their friends, and nothing too crazy because we all have to get up in the morning.

Frequently Asked Questions

So how do we play?

Our host will ask a question & teams have about three minutes to enter in & submit their answer on their phones. Nice & relaxed. You'll have plenty of time to chat/argue with your teammates.
There are more rules, of course. Pop in about 20 minutes before gametime for the whole rules-rundown.

Wait. We use our phones?

Yeah, but only to answer questions, not to look up answers - even after you've answered. You can wait 3 minutes. We believe in you.
We get it: your messages are blowing up, or there's a game on, or you have to tell everyone on social media how great this trivia game is. All that's just fine. 
Any teams caught using Google, Wikipedia, or any other site that would help them win a trivia game... those teams are cheaters & will be treated as such, usually with point-penalties.
Yes, we're watching, much like Santa... or Batman.

No one likes a cheater. Cheaters are bad & they should feel bad.

How many people can participate in a CoolTable live trivia game night?

There is no minimum, nor is there a limit to team size. Ridin' solo? We can dig it. Are you super popular, baller? Bring the phone book, for all we care. (Remember phone books?)
Our live trivia game nights can accommodate groups of all sizes, from small gatherings to large events. Our only limitation is the size of the venue.

How much does it cost to play?

Our games are FREE to play!
The only thing we ask is that all players support our games by eating and/or drinking at our venues.
It's always free to play, but not "free-to-win".

What kind of questions do you ask?

Anything & everything. From history to math. Sports to science. Music, movies, TV, and pop culture of all different eras. Sometimes, there are some off the wall questions. 

How long will this take?

Our shows are two hours long - give or take, depending on any outside circumstances beyond anyone's control. It's designed to be a relaxing, fun night out with friends, food, & drink. You'll be able to socialize with your friends comfortably. 

Are there prizes for winners?

Of course! The winners usually receive gift cards to the venues we're playing at. There may be other special prizes like concert tickets, venue swag, or collectible items. 

Can I request specific categories for the trivia questions?

Yes, you can request specific categories for the trivia questions.
Our private events are totally customizable. Whatever categories you want.
We're open to ideas on categories for our weekly games, but they better be good. "Things only I know" isn't a great topic, you know?

Do you need to be 21 to play?

Well, short answer is no.
The longer answer: it's always up to the venues hosting our games on who or what aged persons they allow in their establishment. If you're not sure, it's always best to call the venue ahead of time.

But I'm not smart.

That's what all those first-timers who play our games say.
This game isn't designed to make you feel dumb. You'll do just fine.
We promise: you have more useless knowledge rattling around your noodle than you think.
You don't have to know everything about everything. If you're not up on your sports or pop culture knowledge, recruit a friend, co-worker or someone's cool aunt for your team. 

Is there a trivia league?

Soon.™
We're working on it, but it will be free to join & won't require any weekly commitment.
