The Pursuit of Trivia: Manila Quiz Nights

GeekFight! is known to be the geekiest of the quiz choices.

GeekFight! Trivia Night
Where: rotating venues, mostly Last Home, Madison Square, Pioneer Street, Mandaluyong City every first Monday of the month

Probably the geekiest of the quiz choices, GeekFight! has no permanent home and is usually held every first Monday of the month.

Question preparation and hosting is shouldered by Paolo Cruz and he does an admirable (though exhausting) job doing it. A few days before Trivia Night, Cruz sends word via Facebook on what the topics will be. Topics can range from tattoos, Hipster Culture, Zombies, to Teen Movies. Unfortunately, GeekFight! sometimes has too many participants huddled into a tiny venue. When a visual round comes up, everybody struggles to see things on the small monitors provided. Also, if you're reviewing topics beforehand, it kind of defeats the purpose of "knowledge you already possess" inherent to trivia, doesn't it? Kudos to organizer Paolo Cruz for putting this together monthly though.

Don't expect great food save for bar chow, but beer is cheap and that's always a good thing. Also, the GeekFight! venues tend to be smoke-filled, crowded, and finish way past 1:00 a.m. Not exactly the most ideal situation for employees and students who still have to get up early the next day.
