Star Wars Trivia
Star Wars Day has come and gone (May the 4th Be With You, now and forever), but Get It Games has found another reason to celebrate: George Lucas’ birthday. Prove just how much of your brain has been ceded to George’s iconic space opera franchise with a night of trivia hosted by Get It at Pinthouse Pizza’s South Lamar location. The questions will be mostly focused on the film properties, costumes are encouraged, and you’ll need to come with a fully charged phone for contactless mobile scoring. Also, you’re probably going to want to cram all of Tuesday’s Andor drop in one sitting; we’re betting the spoilers will be strong with this crowd. – Kimberley JonesWed., May 14 -

Trivia 512
We really have no shortage of trivia events in this town full of smarties, but what grabbed my attention with this one was the quality of the prizes. First place gets $125 to spend at happenin’ host venue Radio, plus $15 to whiskey distillery Still Austin, and second place wins $75 at Radio and $15 at Still. Third place is even a good prize: a bag of high-quality Radio coffee beans and a koozie. So dust off the ol’ brain, grab some buds, and head over to Radio on Wednesdays to give it a go. Fuel up beforehand with a 5-7 happy hour and discounted burgers, fries, and chicken sandwiches from Shortwave. – Kat McNevinsWednesdays -
