Are Trivia BEE tickets considered a donation?

A portion of your ticket is tax-deductible based on the fair market value of goods and services received.

Where can I park?

Free parking is available in the lot next to the venue. The lot has been reserved for this event. You do not need to stop at the kiosk or use an app to pay for parking!

Please don’t park in the spaces outlined in yellow (those are reserved for Rock the Dock customers).

Do I need to arrive early?

Doors open at 6 p.m. and dinner is ready at 6:30 p.m. No need to arrive early, you’ll have plenty of time to eat (and get seconds) before the trivia begins.

How do I play?

Players will need a phone or other internet-connected device to answer trivia questions (we’ll provide the Wi-Fi). The game is played online using a platform called Crowdpurr. At the event players will receive a unique url to join Trivia BEE and submit answers.

Note for teams: a single, designated person will submit answers on the team’s behalf.

Trivia BEE emcee Casey Catherwood will read the questions aloud while they are displayed on-screen and on your device. After reading the questions, Casey will reveal the answer options and start the 30-second countdown.

Scoring – Correct answers can net you/your team 100, 200 or 300 points, based on the question’s difficulty level, with harder questions worth more points. The questions will be a blend of multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank formats.
