Why is there a Facebook Live feed as well as a website to play the quiz?
The live feed will feature Fun Facts big cheese and chief question writer, Steve, who will be able to help you through the process. He’ll also be able to answer any questions you may have in real time. We will also be posting polls on the live feed to get feedback on the format as well as topics for future virtual quizzes.
The website (myquiz.org) will provide the platform players need to participate. Each question is timed so players can’t cheat (even though we obviously trust you).

Why is there a fee to play?
The COVID-19 situation has shut down a lot of small businesses. Our income normally comes from the venues that pay us to run quizzes for them. With pubs and other venues all closed, Fun Facts currently has zero revenue.
So we are asking our loyal followers, and hopefully a whole bunch of new friends to part with 10 bucks to have some fun and support this little business that we started back in 2008.
On the upside (and compared to some of the venues where you usually play, it's a MASSIVE upside), you can now play trivia and drink at bottle shop prices! No RSA, no Ubers home, etc. Look how much you're saving!

Can we play as a team?
Absolutely! Most people are locked down at home, so you’ll most likely only have the people in your household to play with, but if you want to get creative and use Skype or FaceTime to try to team up, we're fine with that. This could actually be an opportunity to play against your regular teammates and see who emerges from this whole mess with bragging rights! Even if you’re a competitive couple, feel free to sign up separately and compete against each other!

Are there prizes for the winners?
Of course! Amounts will vary, dependent on how many players there are. Initially, prizes are $100 for 1st, $50 for 2nd and $25 for 3rd. Winners will be paid via Paypal.

Do I need two devices to play?
Short answer is , 'no'. However, two devices would make the process easier for you.
Our Facebook Live stream will feature your host while the actual game will be played at MyQuiz.org. If you have two devices (two phones, two computers or one of each) it will save you going back and forth between Facebook and MyQuiz.
With two devices you can also chat with Steve in real time while play is ongoing, or talk to him if there’s some kind of technical issue. You may also get some enjoyment out of him ridiculing people for selecting some obviously wrong answers. (Honestly, Rob Schneider did NOT win an oscar for his role in 'The Sound Of Music'.
