The Autopian’s Trivia Nights are absurd, mostly because super-car-geeks like Jason Torchinsky and Thomas Hundal get to write the questions, but also because you, dear Autopian members, are just too smart. We have to come up with challenging questions or you’ll start snoozing! So on October 8th, for the first time in far too long, we’re hosting another Trivia Night, and it’s going to be epic.
Being a Velour or Rich Corinthian Leather member means you get to partake in exclusive trivia nights hosted by your humble Autopian authors (if you’d like to become a member and try out trivia you can join here, if you are a Vinyl or Cloth member you can upgrade here and get $10 off). These events are held on Zoom, and they involve us breaking up participants into teams of four or five and then asking some ridiculously hard (but fun!) questions. We then let you and your teammates have a few minutes in “breakout rooms” to privately figure out the answers. We do this a few times until all questions have been asked, and then after we dish out the answers at the end, teams tally up the scores to determine a winner.
It usually takes 90 minutes or so, though I have to admit, sometimes I go overboard with the math problems. We also ask participants to identify cars Jason draws on an iPad or random car parts I have sitting around. It’s just a lot of fun, and there’s no shame if teams only get half the answers right; there are no prizes, after all! (Though maybe there will be; that’ll be a game-time decision).
It’s an activity Torch and I started during the pandemic, and we’re going to keep it going because we love it. So if you’re a Velour or Rich Corinthian Leather member, and you’d like to partake in the automotive geek-fest that is The Autopian’s Virtual Trivia Night on Tuesday, October 8, then please RSVP by emailing the subject “Trivia RSVP” to david@theautopian.com.
The event begins at 7:30 PM ET; a Zoom link will be sent to all Velour and RCL members at 7:25. Be there!
These are awesome though I don’t know enough maths to get those questions right.
Plus a night with Car Geeks that get my refences like the white Betta named Vanishing Point. Whom passed and the new one has an auto related name.
That’s our 18th wedding anniversary, so I’ll be sitting this one out. Have fun, everyone!
J/Doesn’t it suck when less important things get in the way?
You could try to convince them to participate.
Man, I’d love to be a part of this, but with the brutal exchange rate on the Canadian dollar AND the out of country extra charge, a yearly membership rivals my yearly Hagerty Insurance premium.
Best of luck to those that participate!
