Thursday night trivia is great for your brain! If you're looking for something fun to do on Thursday evenings, gather your friends and head to Ed's Tavern. Our trivia event is the perfect form of entertainment for the people who like to work their brains and win prizes along the way.
Trivia isn't a new idea. The history of trivia actually dates all the way back to ancient times. Greek and Roman scholars enjoyed engaging in intellectual contests, which tested their knowledge of a wide range of subjects. Then, during the Renaissance, trivia contests became more popular throughout Europe. By the 18th century, pub quizzes became a common form of English entertainment.
Trivia as we know it today dates back to the 1930s. During this time, a group of students at Columbia University hosted quiz nights at local bars. These quiz nights became so popular that they led to the creation of the game "Trivial Pursuit" in 1979. This game eventually became one of the best-selling board games of all time.
Trivia is so popular for a variety of reasons. For one, it's fun! Trivia gives people the chance to let loose, laugh, and enjoy the company of one another. You can additionally gain some bragging rights if you're having a good run. Trivia is also popular because it's educational. You may not know a lot about the trivia topic when you enter the bar, but you will leave with a plethora of knowledge when the night is over. Trivia is also mentally stimulating. You can exercise your brain and improve your cognition function by playing trivia. This is because trivia assists with memory, attention, and problem-solving brain functions.
At Ed's Tavern, our Thursday trivia nights are a good time! Steve-O hosts the event with a wide range of intellectually stimulating subjects ranging from holidays, to sports, to seasonal questions, to current events. You can test your knowledge at Ed's every Thursday night at 8 p.m. All players have the opportunity to win a gift card worth up to $40 in value, so head to 10719 Rodeo Drive in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, this week!
