I had a great idea yesterday while I was in the middle of mowing my lawn. Yard work puts me in that zen-like state. I guess its my meditation. Anyhow, it was something collaborative between area bars. As I posted below, I spent Saturday afternoon at a bar with my dad and brother while we watched the State-Carolina football game. The idea came to me looking back on it.
You know how some bars have fun trivia contests? Like Ri-Ra‘s Newcastle Pub Quiz, where everyone joins in and competes with other tables? What if that was taken city-wide? Like a “bar-league” of trivia games?
There are tools now that can make that possible which weren’t around a few years ago. Ri-Ra could compete with the Sawmill Tap Room, or Harrison’s, or Greenshields, for example (the two former establishments need webpages as well.
Details need to be worked out, but now that these businesses are getting Internet-enabled, this could take off. Perhaps I should consider some sort of wireless internet tie-in, too.
What does the Peanut Gallery think of this?
nice try, but these trivia games are already on a network where you can sign up to play trivia vs people in your bar or in other bars across the country.
I guess I don’t get out much. Thanks!
it just validates you had a decent idea. They do all sorts of cool nationwide bar games including football “guess the next play” and trivia. It’s fun!
