Welcome to the home of Melbourne Trivia.
News
- OUR LANDLINE IS BACK
The 6th March hailstorm took out our regular landline telephone (9372 5598) for some days but the number is working again. In any case, our mobile number, 0419 599 372, is always there.
We suffered some fairly bad roof damage in the storm and three days afterwards, part of the ceiling fell in - missing people and valuables we're happy to say. Hope you survived the storm..

Our hotel trivia is up and running at the Prov, the Albion and the Sherlock Holmes. Go to our Trivia Nights page for times and locations.

Up-coming Events
- Chunky Move Fundraiser
Lots of fun and action as we helped raise funds for one of Melbourne's most exciting dance troupes.
- Fringe Festival Challenge VI
As always, great fun. Guest quizzer was 'Man in the Labcoat', scientician and comedian Ben McKenzie. It was a bit squeezie downstairs thanks to the Melbourne Int'l Arts Festival's offensive theft of the Fringe's usual club space but everybody had a great time. Triple RRR won the night and will probably be unbearable about it for the next year - Comedy Festival have vowed revenge.
- St Kilda Film Festival Trivia Night - IV: The Pre-Sequel
The annual battle of the buffs was back at Kilda Town Hall for the launch of this popular festival and, as usual, there was blood on the celluloid. Tarantino... pshaw! A pussy compared with this lot.
- Laurimar Community Trivia Event
Residents of Delfin Laurimar, family and friends enjoyed this free fun trivia night under the stars.
- Battle of the Book Trade!
Thirteen of Melbourne and Australia's top bookshops and publishers celebrated the launch of Trivia Nights for Dummies whilst fighting to the death to prove themselves top of the literary trivia heap. The team from Borders won. A very enjoyable night.
- The Fringe Trivia Challenge V
How long can this go on? Once more, a bunch of Melbourne's major arts organisations competed. This year, youth triumphed as the Next Wave Festival took the victor's trophy.
- St Kilda Film Festival Trivia Night III - Revenge of the Buffs
Once again, the launch of the St Kilda Film Festival was celebrated with a film trivia night in which the film buffs fought hard and the rest of us drank and enjoyed.
- 4th Fringe Trivia Challenge
Determined on revenge, triumph and, above all, a good time, 14 of Melbourne's leading festivals and arts organisations met yet again to face the Fringe's fourth annual Trivia Challenge. The Comedy Festival fielded a strong team including trivia wiz, Toby Sullivan and modestly (!) celebrated their win.
- Melba Conservatorium
Music of all kinds from baroque to roque... err...rock... Also a great range of fun trivia.There was live music before, during and after, including a fanfare written for the occasion.
- Melbourne International Film Festival Celebrity Trivia
4 clever and witty celebrities - actors, writers and musicians - failed to beat the punters' team in a relaxed and enjoyable evening in the wonderful Festival Lounge at the Forum. Maybe they'll win next year... maybe not!
- Film Trivia at the St Kilda Film Festival
For the second year in a row it was huge, as 200 film buffs met and competed at the Espy. No quarter asked and none given — and we all had a very good time.
-
fortyfivedownstairs fundraiser
fortyfivedownstairs is an important part of Melbourne's arts, music and theatre scene and the space was packed on the night. It was great to have a live music round with Aaron Richard. Good company and good fun.
- '60s Trivia at the NGV
What a great night! Lots of laughs and food and drink — and more 60s trivia than the Beatles could write a song about. There were some wonderful prizes too. The evening was part of the NGV's Art & the 60s exhibition.
- Brains Behind the Games
Brains Behind the Games was an on-line trivia competition for corporate employees, with the top thirty scorers bringing a team from their company to town for a spectacular live finale. A great night with a guest appearance by Olympic and Commonwealth Games diver, Loudy Tourky. Law firm, Minter Ellison won the night.
- Trivia At The State Library
This free event was part of the Victorian Art After Dark Open Day programme. A diverse group had lots of fun as well-known Melbourne personality Janet A McLeod hosted an entertaining trivia night in the historic State Library of Victoria.
- Fringe Trivia Challenge III
The third Fringe Trivia Challenge packed North Melbourne Town Hall with bodies and noise as the Melbourne International Arts Festival won their second trophy in three years. There are fears that they are going to be insufferable over the coming year. A great night
A unique event in Melbourne's cultural life, the Fringe Trivia Challenge is probably the only time that most of Melbourne's major festivals and other arts groups get together socially. Competition is intense and alcohol is consumed.
Each year, Melbourne Fringe challenges Melbourne International Arts Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Melbourne International Film Festival, the Malthouse, Midsumma, Circus Oz, Next Wave Festival, PBS FM Radio, the Spiegeltent, St Kilda Festival and invited arts media to a trivia contest.
MIAF won the first challenge in a thrilling tiebreaker with Midsumma then, after winning in 2004, Fringe were unbearably smug. Midsumma have left, once again vowing revenge!
