Have you been to Barnaby’s yet on High Street? I went there last night with a couple of friends. From 10pm to 
midnight, Barnaby’s offered half-priced drinks. That was amazing! I ordered a couple of Goose Islands.
Since I love playing Jeopardy, it was no surprise that Quizzo was the best part of my Wednesday night. We played four rounds with DJ Romeo, and let me tell you, some of those general knowledge questions were challenging! But that made it all the more fun.
Here are just a few of the general knowledge questions from last night:
- Who was the director of the popular film Avatar?
- In what month did the 2017 Tour de France take place?
- The Beatles’ song “All You Need is Love” opens with a few bars from which country’s national anthem?
- Of the 88 keys on a piano, how many are white?
- What is the name of Arya’s sword in The Game of Thrones?
- What is the national sport of Japan?
- In what 1995 science fiction thriller did Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis star together?
- How many suspects are there in the original game of Clue?
- True or False. Malaysia has banned the song “Despacito”
- Who was last season’s NFL MVP?
Answers:
- James Cameron
- July
- France
- 52
- Needle
- Sumo Wrestling
- 12 Monkeys
- 6 Suspects. Col. Mustard, Miss Scarlet, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, Mrs. White & Prof. Plum
- True. Been banned from state radio and television broadcasts after critics in the Muslim-majority country complained the lyrics were obscene.
- Matt Ryan
In a few weeks, Barnaby’s will start running monthly theme nights and will also develop a new point system. If players keep track of their points each week, they can earn even more prizes the more they play! I definitely will take advantage of this, especially to see Barnaby’s dynamic bartending duo, Tony and Val.
It was my friend Jaleel’s first time playing Quizzo, but he crushed it on most of the questions, especially the classic video game round. My other friend, Alexa, really enjoyed herself last night.
“It was fun. I like how [Barnaby’s] made everyone feel included,” she provided. “Everyone was given a prize for just participating, and the categories weren’t exclusively too hard for anyone. DJ Romeo is always really nice and tries to keep people as entertained as possible.”
As DJ Romeo himself stated perfectly, “Quizzo is the most fun you didn’t know you wanted to have!”
