No. Tables are arranged specifically to maximize the number of teams that can play - they are scattered throughout the venue and cannot be rearranged or combined. Do not purchase multiple tables in an effort to combine them - limit one table per team.

Will there be food and drink?
Absolutely! Penn Social will have servers for tables. Please eat, drink, be merry and take care of the staff.
What is the maximum team size?
Maximum team size is 10 people.
Tickets are available based on the table size. Individual tickets cannot be added or refunded. Know your team size before you purchase.
Can myself or a teammate arrive late?
Yes, registration will have staff for a half hour after the event start time (7:30pm) and you will be escorted to your team's table. After that time, you will wait at the entrance to downstairs and checked in at the end of the current round.
Should we wear costumes?
YES! There will be prizes for top costumes. If you don't want to do full costumes, we highly encourage any Star Wars-related outfit.
Am I allowed to bring blasters/lightsabers/"weapons"?
We want to create a safe and fun environment for everyone in attendance. Props, such as blasters and lightsabers, are permitted - they must be light, clearly a "prop" and cannot hurt someone. No realistic or functional firearms, projectile weapons or blunt weapons are allowed. Prop weapons are allowed at the discretion of the Penn Social and District Trivia staff and security personnel. Safety is paramount and we will always err on the side of caution.
What does my team need to bring?
Buckets to hold cell phones during trivia will be provided. However, teams may get creative and bring their own. Costumes are highly encouraged. District Trivia will provide pens, answer sheets and scratch pads.
What are the prizes?
Below are the prizes for Star Wars Trivia. There will also be a costume contest with prizes! We'll also have raffle prizes throughout the evening (including

Anything else exciting?
WeWork &
Joe Shymanski Photography will be on-site. Every single team in attendance has a chance to win!
Joe Shymanski Photography will also have some of their Star Wars-related photography and posters on display and will be available for purchase.
What is the trivia format?
Trivia will follow District Trivia's regular
format. Obviously all questions can be anything and everything related to Star Wars. The questions will be clear if we're asking for canon or something outside the "universe". We've done our research - the questions will be challenging, but lots of fun!
How do you prevent cheating?
Our staff stormtroopoers will be monitoring the room while questions are being asked. All team's cell phones must be placed in their "cage" (a container) at the start of each round and remain there until the host announces teams are clear to use their phones. There is a zero tolerance policy for cheating - teams suspected will be escorted from the premises and no refunds will be given. Tables cannot be combined and teams cannot help other teams.
Do scores count toward the NBC Sports Washington Trivia Challenge?
No, points earned at themed trivia to not apply to the
NBC Sports Washington Trivia Challenge
and the
leader board.
Should we study?
The questions will be challenging. You don't need to study, but the questions will be difficult and occasionally obscure. We guarantee you'll get some questions correct, but it's up to your team how badly you want to win that $500 cash prize. When "studying" means rereading and rewatching Star Wars, who can complain? Also, there's no need to stress about not being an expert. There will be raffle prizes to be won throughout the whole evening.
