The Winning Edge
The secret to the leaderboard lies within the museum. Many of our questions are pulled directly from our newest special exhibit: Give Me Liberty: Virginia & The Forging of a Nation. We highly recommend visiting the museum to explore these exhibits before the event to get the “inside scoop” on the people, immigrants, and icons who defined the American story. It might just be the edge your team needs to take home the prize!

- No Cheating: Do not throw away your honor by cheating at a trivia night.
- Team Size: No more than eight people per team. One point will be deducted for each additional person.
