More PRIZES for our JULY 10 15th Anniversary Trivia Spectacular in NYC

July is nearly here, and our 15th Anniversary Trivia Spectacular is only slightly less nearly here: July 10 (at Le Poisson Rouge in NYC and yes, open to the public—get tickets now!). Our last post told you about the panoply of fantastic prize sponsors. But—as it was once wisely declared—wait, there's more. Four more partners in supplying the biggest prize haul in NYC trivia, including…


You might live here 50 billion years, but you will never know the full, complete story of New York City. Perhaps the only exception: Mr. Jeremy Wilcox, the man behind Custom NYC Tours(and a longtime Big Quiz Thing fan, not completely coincidentally). A lifelong New Yorker, city polymath, and professional tour guide, Jeremy leads unique, trivia-packed heel-toe jaunts through NYC's least clichéd yet most fascinating corners. He's kicked a couple tours into the July 10 prize haul, but learn more—and book your own—at CustomNYCTours.com.
And, after years, the wait is over (and has been for some months): The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, most likely America's greatest movie-theater chain, is in New York City, specifically Downtown Brooklyn. Unique screenings, special events (including the BQT-affiliated Kevin Geeks Out variety show), private parties, seriously good food, all in the heart of the BK. We've got some vouchers to give away; learn it all at Drafthouse.com/NYC.
All this, plus the old BQT triumvirate of Quizmaster Noah Tarnow, sidekick EdP, and DJ GB. And you're waiting to buy tickets why? Don't! Monday, July 10, 7pm. Make it happen!

JULY 10: Prizes for our 15th Anniversary Public Trivia Spectacular
Plans are coming together for our grand anniversary event—the rare opportunity for the public to see The Big Quiz Thing, starring Quizmaster Noah Tarnow (you got your tickets, right?), live in Greenwich Village, NYC. And, as is typical with the BQT, we're including a hell of a prize haul. Check out the (partial) roster at right (with additions coming by the day), but perhaps we can dig down a bit further…



Featuring the best of local stand-up talent (not to mention national talent ASOTV, and even a regular magic showcase), Broadway Comedy Club is an indispensable locus of the city's humor scene, right in midtown. Learn more, see the schedule, sign up for an open mike, etc., at BroadwayComedyClub.com.
A public museum within a public park (Flushing Meadows), and fiercely dedicated to freedom of expression and positive social change: We all need the Queens Museum now more than ever. And yes—this is the home of the legendary Panorama of New York City! Details and more at QueensMuseum.org.
And our stupendous venue, Le Poisson Rouge, will offer one lucky winner a year's membership, entitling them to 12 months of the city's most innovative events and performances. LPR.com is where the info is.
Join us for the ultimate celebration of New York trivia fun, less than a month away. Enjoy!
