A Toronto Quiz from Quiz Coconut’s Trivia Nights and Events

Work party and event season is upon us with both Halloween and Christmas shindigs happening over the next 2 months. If you are planning the events and are thinking about what to do for them, you may like the idea of having trivia nights.

I recently heard of the Quiz Coconut trivia events started by James Cutler who is originally from London, UK. The events are booked by organizers for corporate or private events. There are even some weekly pub trivia nights in Toronto like the one at the Stone Lion Pub in The Beaches neighbourhood, a night that includes music, interactive challenges & lots of fascinating questions.

I got in touch with James through Instagram to learn more about what he does and to have him prepare a little quiz game for us.
