Looking for a good spot to play bar trivia this summer?

Hey KC natives and World Cup visitors!

Every now and again, we see a post pop up on this sub asking where to play trivia, so we wanted to take a moment to introduce ourselves to anyone looking for somewhere to play or looking for a new team to connect with!

We’re Intelligence Check Trivia. We’ve been hosting trivia shows around the metro since 2019 and we’ve been named KC’s best trivia night a few times from local publications like the Pitch and KC Mag!

Currently, we have weekly trivia at 10 locations across 5 days:

Sundays:

• Tap Ins at the Greenhouse hosted by Devin | 6-8PM (starting 6/14!) | Free to Play

Mondays:

• Gaels Public House & Sports hosted by Adam | 7-9PM | $5 Cover

How to Play:

For most of our weekly games, we host 8 5-question rounds over the span of about 2 hours. Each round’s difficulty resets with a new category, with Q1 being the easiest and Q5 being the most challenging. After the 4th round, we invite you to suggest topics for the following week and vote on your fellow players suggestions. The top-voted categories are written into the next week’s game. We like to build our games based on our players’ interests! If you’re joining us for the first time, we recommend getting in a little early to grab a table, get checked in, etc.

If you don’t have a group to play with, sign up here as a Free Agent, or just come visit a game location! There’s always a team looking for a new member!

If we don’t have an option that works for you, we highly recommend checking out fellow local trivia creators like Big 5 Trivia, Sammy Sanchez (he was on Jeopardy!), and Harrison at Border Brewing!

Follow us on Instagram for updates about our weekly games, one-shot theme nights, new locations, and all that good stuff. We hope to catch you at a trivia night soon!
