Alrighty, so you’re feeling uncharacteristically competitive. Or, you are unapologetically, innately, a competitive person. Maybe trivia is your lot in life. Maybe you just simply want a night out that will stimulate your brain. You want to do something. You’ve been seeking an activity that you and your buddies can engage in that is interesting.
We have curated a list of the most enjoyable, most interesting, most titillating Trivia Nights in Ottawa. Saddle up with your Trivia team (made up of your smartest friends, not that you love some friends more than others, but like…) and head on down to the town.
