Futurama Trivia - Melllvar

Want to take your trivia know-how into the year 3000?

“You Guessed It! You Can’t Unguess It!” Futurama Trivia is interesting if true! And it is true! 3 rounds of mathematically flawless, alien eye-popping trivia backed by the viewing of three different classic Futurama episodes – and you don’t even need a $300 Nixon tax rebate to participate because it’s free. Sound too good to be true, like two meals in one week? Prepare to be surprised!

WHERE: Melody Bar, The Gladstone Hotel – 1214 Queen Street West.

WHEN: 8:00pm, September 27, 2011

HOW IT WORKS: In classic pub trivia style, ‘You Guessed It! You Can’t Unguess It!’ is three rounds of challenging questions about Futurama Volumes 1-4. Form a team of up to 6 friends and write down your answers on provided sheets; at the end of each round, you swap your sheet with another team just like in grade 6, and mark ‘em. Then hand them in and enjoy an episode on the big screen! And did we mention prizes?

Special thanks to WOO-HOO!: Classic Simpsons Trivia for helping to organize this most natural progression. They are our big brother out of neither revenge, spite, malice nor boredom.

Invite your friends! It’s fun for the whole family! (except grandma & grandpa)
