This is so fun! When we get a spare couple of hours
to unwind, we go play Trivia. Just ask for a player box, input a player name with six letters or less, and your ready to play. Funny thing is we never considered ourselves good at trivia, but with such a wide variety of multiple choice questions, you'd be surprised how much you know! The exciting part is that not only are you playing against the people within your restaurant, but against players across the nation, plus each restaurant is ranked by averaging their players scores. Seeing your name in the ranks can make this game addicting, but hey, we have ourselves a drink or two and consider it a kind of home schooling course! A little hint: In most games you can change your answer as many times as you want as long as you do it before they've given you the last hint. I wish we had known that our first few months of playing. Of course the longer you take to answer the question right, the less points you get. For a correct answer right off the bat, you get one thousand points. If you answer wrong in the end you get a minus two hundred and fifty points. The average game has a 15 questions, which are varied, or they have theme games about sports, music, or TV trivia. There is also a game called "Wipeout" which doesn't give you the option of changing your answer at all. Every once in a while you run across a different game, which keeps it interesting. It is such a constructive way to spend a couple hours, and a fun way to meet new people. If you can't get out you can play along by playing NTN from your computer. Anytime we go out of town we check the NTN website to find out what restaurants have NTN, just in case we get the urge! Unfortunately you don't know what the place is like until you get there, so we've listed below the places we've played.
