ABOUT TRIVIA FOR CHEATERS
(AND WHY YOU SHOULD CHEAT)
__________________________
A great night for bonding with friends and colleagues, 826CHI's Trivia for Cheaters, hosted by Chicago's very own Jill Hopkins, is a trivia competition that invites you to cheat creatively in the name of supporting 826CHI's mission to amplify Chicago's youth voices through the power of writing.
Assemble your smartest, most devious acquaintances to contend for a trophy, medals, and bragging rights as Chicago's best cheating trivia team, all while championing 2,000 Chicago students in building their writing confidence and becoming published authors and 100 CPS teachers in growing a love of writing in the classroom.
Spectator Ticket $25
Support your friends and sit in on the fun. You might even be able to help them with an "Ask the Audience" cheat!
You're In! (Individual Trivia Ticket) $35
Nice! You're in! Your $35 goes into your team's bank to purchase cheats.
Getting Ahead $150
You and 3 friends start with $150 to spend on cheats for your team at the time of registration. That gets you (1) Gather Intel and (1) Peek cheat!
HOW IT WORKS
______________________________
You and up to 3 friends (4 max) will compete against other teams for 5 rounds of questions presented by quizmaster Jill Hopkins.
To cheat or not to cheat? How your team plays is up to you, but some of our challenging questions may stump even the greatest pub trivia competitor.
Your team’s donations build your bank to purchase game-changing cheats.
