It's Trick-or-Trivia Time!

The Friends of Matheson Memorial Library Trick-or-Trivia fundraiser is back for its NINTH spook-tacular evening. Our homegrown trivia night outgrew the library space and moved to the Monte Carlo Room in 2019 to be bigger than ever! But then Covid hit and we were trivia-less in 2020. :( When we returned in 2021, the Elkhorn community answered our call to restart the party and we sold out with 23 tables in just THREE WEEKS!
​
​The Friends of Matheson Memorial Library is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to helping our local library serve the Elkhorn community. Trick-or-Trivia event proceeds fund both Adult & Children's programming at the library, new materials, special events, and more!​

How Does It Work?

Tables (teams) of 8-10 people work together to answer general knowledge questions. Questions are weighted in each category based on the team's confidence in their answers. Teams will also have the opportunity to get ahead with bonus trivia sheets (see below for examples) and by purchasing $5 hints to help shake out the cobwebs and achieve trivia glory.

Teams that with the most success have a wide age range of players with a diverse level of interests. For example, an ideal team would have a book lover, sports fanatic, history buff, travel junkie, science teacher, and a Millennial who reads
Rolling Stone.  Can you assemble a dream team to beat three-time Trick-or-Trivia champions, The Smartinis? How about the 2021 winners, The Masked Revengers?

Winners receive bragging rights for the year (which is a SUPER big deal!) and team name on the ongoing Trick-or-Trivia trophy proclaiming your genius!!! We will also have a 50/50 raffle and silent auction with great prizes.

Admission & Registration Info:

Admission is $30 per seat. The cost of admission will include two 16" Sperino's pizzas and salad for your table! Cash bar and will also be available. The Friends of Matheson Memorial Library is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization so a percentage of your admission is tax-deductible.

***Sorry, no spectators or people under the age of 18 will be admitted into the event.***

The event will be held this year at the Monte Carlo Room, located at 720 N. Wisconsin Street in Elkhorn. Doors will open at 6:00pm and trivia will begin at 7:00pm.

Come Dressed For Trivia Success!

The most talked about element of the night is always the costumes. Year after year, some of the most creative Halloween costumes wander amongst the tables at Trick-or-Trivia. You may dress individually, go along with your team's theme, or dress casually for a fun night out. Corporate tables sometimes wear outfits with their company logos. Usually about 2/3 of attendees are in some kind of costume and it's loads of fun to see!

​There are two contests where attendees get to vote on their favorite costumes: Best Individual Costume and Best Team Costume/Theme. Can you beat two-time Best Individual Costume Champions, Pete & Julianne Hough?!? In 2021, the first Team Costume award went to the "Titanic Swim Team"!

What's In A Name?

Another important factor is your team name. It can be as simple as a family or company name (i.e. The James Family or Advia Bank) or you can get creative with a unique name that tells the other teams you mean business. Names can be funny, scary... whatever! Some teams even bring their own signage and table decorations to correspond with their theme. Have fun with it! Previous years' team names include:
Trivial Massacre
Les Quizerables
The Cereal Killers
Get a CLUE
The Out-of-Towners
Trivia Wizards
