TRIVIA & COMEDY SHOWS ONLINE VIA ZOOM
WHAT IS IT > A fun trivia session for your virtual workplace or social group hosted by trivia host extraordinaire Janet A McLeod.
HOW IT WORKS > Just like a regular trivia night, only via Zoom. Team members can be in multiple locations. There are also knockout rounds where individual players can shine.
WHY > With so many people working and socialising remotely, this is a fun (virtual) social outing and an excellent way to catch up with your friends and workmates – even if they are interstate or overseas.
Sessions can run from 30 - 100 mins and can be any time of the day (or night). Team numbers are capped at 15 teams. It's the perfect lunchtime catchup, end-of-the-day social or a fun fundraiser.
Weekly shows Sundays and Tuesdays.
