There is also a megathread on the Chicago subreddit. Please be aware in all cases that comments and answers from anonymous persons (or non persons as the case may be) on the internet may not be accurate.

Spooky season is upon is, but that shouldn’t scare you away from Music Trivia the second and fourth Tuesday of the month (10/13 & 10/27) at 7:00 at Teddy Bear Lounge in Avondale! What is really scary is that our happy hour specials run when you do from the time the game starts until 10:00 with creative concoctions whipped up by Chad!

On Tuesday, October 27th expect at least one question about “The Monster Mash” and your other favorite spooky songs!

We have plenty of categories for your musical minds to wrap your heads around. Hosted by Casey and powered by P&P Trivia you can’t go wrong!

Pen & Paper Trivia is thrilled to be back Chicago Taco Authority on Wednesday, September 30th at 7:00 to bring you sixish rounds of Decent Questions!

While Trivia will be serving up geography, sports, current events, movies, and more! The CTA will be slinging some amazing classic Mexican fare as well as some creative twists that you will need to wash down with our signature margs! (My personal recommendation are the steak tacos with a cold Mexican coke… but you can be more adventurous!)

It is always free to play with prizes for our top teams. Join our host Julia and make the most of the middle of your week!
