How do I register for a table?

REGISTRATION TIP - IMPORTANT: In order to register, you will need to close and reopen your browser at the start of registration. Attempting to refresh the registration page on your browser may not be sufficient to see the event when it goes live.

What are Blings?

Blings are stickers that give you free points. A Bling next to an answer will mark it correct, no matter what. Simply place your Bling sticker next to the question on your answer sheet that you want to be marked correct and hand in sheet at the end of the round. 

Do I need to know all the team members at the time of registration?

No. Please compi le your team quickly after you register and begin thinking of a name for your team, a theme and/or costume for the event. We will reach out to you for names and email addresses.

Does every participant need to register for a table?

No. Only one team member is required to purchase a table at the time of registration.

Does my team need to have a theme or dress up for the event?

No. Although clothing is mandatory, teams are not required to have a theme or dress in costume, but there are advantages to getting creative. The Trivia Night staff will select and award prizes, including bonus points, in two categories: Best Table Decor and Best Costume. Details will be sent by email to registered team members.

Does my team have to have 10 people?

No, you do not, but your chances of getting the answers correct are usually better with more people.

Will alcohol be served at the event?

The event is BYO. Trivia Night is meant to be fun, lively and festive and we certainly want all participants to have a great time. Please be respectful and on your best behavior. If you drink, please drink responsibly. If you bring food or snacks, please be mindful of others around you. We kindly ask that you help clean up at the end of the night. No food or beverage will be supplied by CEF at Trivia Night.

IMPORTANT: Please remember that this event is being held on school property.

How big are the tables?

The tables are 72” round and seat 10. Tablecloths will be provided.

Are all costumes and table decor allowed?

Yes, within reason. Please wear on-school-premises appropriate attire. Strictly no pyrotechnics or open flame. Do not bring glitter or confetti or anything that might be difficult to clean. Access to power is very limited and may not be available at your table location. There will be movement in the room and around the tables throughout the night so avoid creating obstacles. Please pack out or dispose of any materials that you bring to the event. Volunteers and the CHS custodial staff will clean up after the game ends.
