Game on: Your Atlanta trivia guide

I’d like to tell you that before I had kids I was very cool, but in reality, a big night out for me was doing trivia at my local pizza spot (shout out to Mojo Pizza N’ Pub in Oakhurst).

I held my own in the pop culture categories, and my friends were usually able to cover sports, history, science and my arch nemesis, geography (despite the copious amounts of “Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?” I watched as a kid, I am still unable to tell you where Carmen, or any country, is).

When a couple of friends asked recently if I wanted to join them for trivia night, I jumped at the chance to reclaim a bit of my youth and shake off the fog that’s been collecting in my brain since about 2019.

We had a great time (shout out to Side Saddle Wine Saloon in Grant Park), and it made me want to work some regular trivia back into my life:

❓ This neighborhood trivia guide from Access Atlanta has some great spots to check out, including Johnny’s Hideaway and Guac y Margys. And this Reddit thread should keep you in the trivia loop.

❓Note to self for future birthday party ideas: Game Show Battle Rooms in Dunwoody and The Game Show Challenge in West End both offer opportunities to flex your trivia skills in private rooms.
