Chicago History Trivia Night (April Fools Edition)
Event Information
About this Event
Come on down! It's time to play everyone's favorite game, CHICAGO TRIVIA NIGHT, with your host, Mysterious Chicago's own Adam Selzer! (music cue, audience cheers)!
Mysterious Chicago runs a virtual tour every Thursday night, but this time it's going to be April Fool's Day, so tune in for a special edition of our trivia night - will it be a "wrong answers only" affair? Will the ghost of George Pullman screw up your answers? Will we accidentally make it all New York questions? Come see, and win valuable prizes! It's everyone's favorite game (except for Wheel of Fish, which you just can't beat).
There'll be some virtual touring and cool history thrown in, of course. Like all our tours, it's FREE to join in, with donations suggested via eventbrite, venmo (adamchicago), or paypal (adam@mysteriouschicago.com). You'll need a facebook account to join in on the comments, but not to watch and play along.
The game will be played via Google Forms - the answer sheet will be at https://forms.gle/Mdr75zkgktQYSygQA
The event will follow Leyla Royale's Fantastically Fake tour on the Effing Chicago facebook page at 7!
We'll give the questions and multiple choice answers as we go. Come join us for a super fun night. Get your families on the line and play along with them!
HOW TO WATCH - it's easy!
- The event will be broadcast live via Facebook Live on the Mysterious Chicago facebook page. ( http://www.facebook.com/mysteriouschicago ). It will be simulcast on the Effing Chicago page.
- ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is be on that page after the broadcast starts (we usually start shortly before the scheduled start time and give people a few minutes to join in), then click “play” on the video. You won't need a code or special link or anything.
- If you “like” the Mysterious Chicago page you can set it to notify you when the page starts broadcasting! And if you want practice, or to make sure it works on your system, we broadcast “mini tours” nearly every day at 10am central.
-The event is free to watch. No tickets or codes will be required. Donations are suggested either via this page, venmo (adamchicago), paypal (adam@mysteriouschicago.com) or by joining patreon.com/adamchicago.
- If you miss it, never fear - it'll be on the "videos" section of the facebook page for some time after the live broadcast.
If you aren't familiar with Facebook live and can't seem to get it to work, here are some trouble shooting tips:
- There is no special code or special link, and you won't be asked for a ticket. Just be on the main Mysterious Chicago Facebook page. (not the event page or an old post, just regular old http://facebook.com/mysteriouschicago )
- If you are on the site and don’t see “Happening Now” or “Mysterious Chicago is Live” try refreshing and scrolling down a bit. Or restarting your app.
- Similarly, if you're watching and it freezes or you lose the audio, refresh the page or restart your app.
- And make sure you’re not mistaking the date or time zone! We regularly get comments from people who are trying to watch on the wrong date or time. All times are central.
- Note that clicking “follow” on the eventbrite page only means that you’re now following this company on eventbrite, and will get notices about new event postings. The button doesn’t do anything particular to the event. You don’t have to push it.
- If none of this works for you, you may have connection, device or settings issues. Consult facebook.com/help.
Under Section 4-156-720 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, this performing arts venue (broadcast) may not charge an admission fee, minimum purchase requirement, membership fee, or other fee or charge imposed for the privilege of entering the premises (broadcast). Any donations are purely voluntary.
