The coup to seize control of Boston’s bar trivia industry began with one word: boring.
In one corner we have the longtime ruler: Stump Trivia, a company begun in a Marshfield basement 13 years ago that now hosts 150 weekly team trivia competitions at local bars.

Our next question: He was once the king of Boston trivia before finding out it wasn't all about him.
Anyone?

Okay, nobody got that one right.
Next question....
I keeep hearing that "Team Trivia"started in Atlanta in the '90s. Uh, I saw it San Diego in the early 90s, Norfolk VA in the mid-late 80s, and four-round four-question quizzes in UK and Ireland in the 80s. I guess I think its trivial as to when this format of trivia was arrived at, and trivia people who argue about trivia as a business seem more trivial until one realizes how much money is made in trivia - an amount that's not trivial.
Oops, a trivial typo, fifth word in third sentence should be "it's"

Tuesday Night Trivia at Elephant and Castle is the most literate trivia game by far -- it's intended for working-age adults as opposed to half-soused college students. I go all the time and heartily endorse it
