Trivia for Cheaters is Back!

Trivia for Cheaters

Outsmart. Outscheme. Out-cheat.

Grab your smartest, most devious friends and compete for trophies, medals, and ultimate bragging rights as Chicago’s best cheating trivia team, all while championing Chicago students in building their writing confidence, becoming published authors, and supporting CPS teachers in growing a love of writing in the classroom.

Hosted by Chicago -based comedian and writer Eunji Kim, at the eclectic The Den Theatre, this fast-paced, anything-goes trivia night lets you buy your way to victory with cheats like peeking at answers, using phones, or sabotaging the competition. The result is a fast paced, chaotic, and hilarious evening, complete with cash bar, all in support of 826CHI's free writing programs for youth across Chicago.
