Guesstronauts Trivia Game Night

A trivia game show we created at Gravity, based on Wits & Wagers and Jeopardy. About an hour, in the taproom. Free to play.

Nobody knows these answers

The questions are written so that nobody should know the exact answer. Everyone is guessing. You win by making good guesses and betting well.

Joining

Come alone or bring a team. Scan the code on the TV with one phone per team and pick a team name. You can join any time, even after the game has started. Questions are worth more as the night goes on, so a team that joins late can still win.

Each question

Every answer is a number, like a year, a height or a count. It’s Price Is Right rules:

1. Every team types a guess. The closest guess without going over wins.
2. If every guess is too high, “smaller than all of these” wins.
3. The team that wrote the winning guess gets the money for that question.

Betting

All the guesses go up on the screen. Each team gets two betting chips, worth $100 and $200 in the first round. Bet on your own guess or on any other team’s guess. Put both chips on one guess or split them across two. Chips on the winning guess pay what they’re worth. Chips on a losing guess cost you nothing.

The night

The game is played in rounds, with a break in between. Each round, the chips and the money for a winning guess go up.

Final question

You see the category, then set your bet before you see the question. Then everyone guesses, and you place your bet on any guess. A right bet doubles your bet, and a wrong bet loses it. Writing the right guess earns nothing in the final. Only the bet counts.
