CITYWIDE Trivia Challenge
Brush up on your trivia as you support small businesses across our city! The Bard and Bear Games Cafe has teamed up with Hamilton Day and GetintheLoop to turn this city-wide celebration into a city-wide trivia challenge. With categories as varied as the businesses participating in this year’s Hamilton Day, you’ll need to answer questions on everything from Avocados to Zippers if you want to be a Hamilton Day Trivia Champion.
Look for the Trivia Posters in participating businesses (including online!), find the right Trivia Category Punch Card in the GetInTheLoop Hamilton app, and enter your answer. Each correct answer will get you 1 punch on the card and 1 entry into our Trivia Giveaway – and each completed Card will earn you 1 entry into our Trivia Champion Grand Prize Giveaway!
Get ready to share that local love and show off all your obscure knowledge over the first weekend in November!
