The Office Trivia is coming to MJ O’Connor’s Park Plaza!
Beers. Beets. Battlestar Galactica. Okay, so scratch the last two. But there WILL be beer, and if you got the reference, your trivia team needs you!
Trivia begins at 6:30pm, but MJ’s recommends your team arrives early to secure a spot. Registration is first come, first served and closes after the first 35 teams have signed up (team cannot exceed 6 people).
Don’t want to come? Fine. We’re sorry we annoyed you with our friendship.
Please note: an RSVP on Eventbrite does NOT guarantee a table or team. Teams cannot exceed 6 people. Trivia is 21+ with valid ID.
