The MoJo Trivia Factory has earned a reputation for being the world's pre-eminent minutiae industrialists. We mine only the best grade of raw material facts for our knowledge base. Our trivia is then handcrafted using the finest trifles, nitty-gritty and brass tacks available. The end results are questions that are entertaining, non-toxic, 100% biodegradable and safe for the environment.

Our researchers are forced to work in degrading, unbearable sweatshop-like conditions and they love us for it. No trivia shop can claim to always offer 100% accurate content and our trivia is no exception. However, our researchers endlessly pour over every detail and nuance when manufacturing questions. Only after a thorough quality control review process can the trivia be stamped, polished and minted as .9999 pure.

The final step is delivering a well developed and proven product to our customers. Our trivia will tingle the average player while challenging the true aficionados - turning occasional patrons into destination regulars and know-it-alls into something greater.

No animals are harmed in the making of our trivia, although our shop dog got sick once after eating a bag of spicy Doritos that one of our geeks left out on his desk.

 


Our shows consist of four rounds of questions, each starting approximately every 1/2 hour. The rounds are independent of each other, so you can stop in any time during the show hours and have a chance to win a prize.
