Nerd Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions

Thursday, February 28 at 7:00pm

Former Nerd Jeopardy! champions compete for the ultimate prize: books.

Everyone's favorite literary trivia night is back! With wine, revelry, and questionable IP usage.

Our special Tournament of Champions will pit three winning teams against one another in heated battle for modest prizes and immeasurable glory. And just to make it interesting, we'll also toss one new team of untested amateurs into the shark-infested waters.

Q. What Is Nerd Jeopardy?
A. Nerd Jeopardy is just like the popular game show, except the clues solely concern the subjects of literature and pop culture. No need for European History here. We have a big blue board and a podium and everything.

Q. Can I join?
If you'd like to play, create a three-person team and add your name to the Official Nerd Jeopardy Sorting Hat at the start of the event. We'll pluck one name out of the hat around 7:10pm. If your team isn't chosen (or you don't have two friends) there are plenty of Audience Quizzes sprinkled throughout the game.

Q. The real Jeopardy! show has Video Daily Doubles. Will you?
A. Indeed. Except a surprise appearance from an author or two.

Q. I don't like how calm and respectful the real Jeopardy! show is. Will yours also be calm and respectful?
A. Not at all. Heckling and literary boisterousness are encouraged.

Presented by The Penguin Press. Hosted by Ryan Chapman.
