ABOUT Our in-person Trivia events have always been a hit, attracting a large number of enthusiastic participants. Now, we have developed an innovative system that allows you to enjoy these events without leaving your home. HOW IT WORKS This event takes place entirely on zoom. You will be able to see and hear the other participants as you play along. Moreover, you'll have the opportunity to meet and interact with other trivia enthusiasts. When the game begins, the host will ask a series of trivia questions. Your objective is to come up with the correct answers and jot them down on your paper. Once a round is complete (typically consisting of around 6 questions), we will go through the answers and determine the participant with the highest score for that round. The winner will receive a raffle ticket, giving them a chance to win exciting prizes at the end of the event. Prizes may include Amazon Gift Cards, free entry to future events, and other exciting goodies. Throughout the event, we will have multiple rounds of play and a virtual system in place to introduce you to other participants. HOW TO ACCESS THE VIRTUAL ROOM After purchasing your ticket, you will receive a confirmation email containing the Zoom link. Simply click on the link to log in and join the virtual room for the event.

From New York Dodgeball

This is a social event, so while some of us like to revel in being competitive, the goal is to meet people and have fun! That being said, headshots are **NOT ALLOWED**. We use cloth style dodgeballs. This provides a fun, friendly and competitive environment without any pain or bruising. The games are set to cool music. Basically, it’s one big party with dodgeball, music and friends. We’ll pick teams from people who show up each week. There will be no refs, but experienced New York Dodgeball players will oversee games. Co-ed, ages 21 and up. Please note we **always** have enough players for this event. Meetup is just one place we advertise, so if you only see one or two RSVPs please know that there will be others attending. We have a regular group of players who attend regularly and we would love for you to be part of this group. Wear athletic style clothing (work out clothes, basketball sneakers) and knee pads if you have them. If you wear glasses, we recommend wearing contacts or sports goggles. Event Details: Venue Address: 921 Madison Ave. New York, NY Date: Thursday July 9th Cost: $10 (Accepting Cash, Venmo or Zelle)
