Trivia Night Recap (Apr 1st, 2026)

Trivia Night at Time Rift Arcade went full multiverse — and not everyone made it back with their pride intact. Four sections, eighty questions, and enough pop culture firepower to humble even the most confident nerd in the room. We took teams from the fields of Middle-earth to the far reaches of deep space, through the back of a wardrobe, and across five decades of science fiction cinema. Some of you absolutely crushed it. Most of you have some explaining to do.

Lord of the Rings Trivia Recap

We kicked off Trivia Night by venturing deep into Middle-earth — and not everyone made it back with their dignity intact.

Section One was a full journey through J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendary world, testing our players on the heroes, villains, creatures, and lore that have captivated fans for decades. From the rolling green hills of The Shire to the shadow-drenched fires of Mount Doom, our trivia teams had to dig deep into their inner hobbit — or risk being stumped harder than Pippin at a map-reading contest.

Twenty questions. One world. Zero mercy for anyone who’s been claiming to be a Tolkien fan at parties for the last twenty years.

Whether your team crushed it or got absolutely wrecked by Q4’s bread question (yes, that question), Section One set the tone for a legendary night. Here’s a look at everything we threw at you:

Battlestar Galactica Trivia Recap

If Section One was a walk through the Shire, Section Two was a cold jump into the middle of a Cylon ambush — and not everyone’s FTL drive made it through.

We traded Middle-earth for deep space and put our players’ knowledge of one of the greatest sci-fi dramas ever made to the ultimate test. Battlestar Galactica — both the beloved 1978 original and the critically acclaimed reboot — gave us twenty questions that separated the true fleet survivors from the people who just watched the first two episodes and called it good.

We’re talking Cylons, Vipers, frak-ups, secret identities, resurrection ships, and one absolutely diabolical question about a robot dog that had half the room staring into the void. If your team didn’t know the name of Boxey’s Daggett, we saw you. We all saw you.

The Final Five may have had a song stuck in their heads. Tonight, our players had regrets stuck in theirs.

So say we all.

Here’s what we put you through:

The Chronicles Of Narnia Trivia Recap

Put away your swords, admirals — we’re trading Vipers for fauns and Cylons for something far more dangerous: a lion who is emphatically not tame.

Section Three took our players out of deep space and through the back of a wardrobe into the magical world of Narnia. C.S. Lewis’s beloved Chronicles gave us twenty questions spanning enchanted wardrobes, ancient magic, treacherous Turkish delight, and one very unfortunate boy who really should have left that dragon’s treasure alone.

This round was deceptively tricky. Sure, everyone knows Aslan. Everyone knows the White Witch. But did your team know how many years passed in Narnia while the Pevensies were back home eating crumpets and dodging air raids? Did you know who blew the horn that called them back? Did you remember what instrument Mr. Tumnus plays, or were you too busy judging Edmund for his life choices?

No judgment here. Turkish delight is hard to say no to. We’ve all been there.

Whether your team sailed the Dawn Treader with confidence or got marooned on the Lone Islands of wrong answers, Section Three was a trip worth taking.

Here’s the full round:

Name That Sci-Fi Trivia Recap

Hobbits. Cylons. Talking lions. You survived all of it. But we saved the most diabolical round for last.

Section Four threw out the rulebook and went full galaxy-brain on our players. No single universe to master, no one fandom to fall back on. Instead, we pulled from five decades of science fiction film and asked our teams to identify the movie from nothing but a brief description — and a prayer.

From killer robots and secret government agencies to alien coneheads just trying to make it in suburban America, this round covered the full spectrum of sci-fi cinema. We had stone cold classics, a few deep cuts that made people audibly groan, and at least one answer that half the room got wrong despite having definitely seen the movie. You know who you are.

Think you know your Blade Runners from your Robocops? Your Stargates from your Fifth Elements? Your Galaxy Quest from your Independence Day? This was the round that found out.

No cheat codes. No hyperspace bypass. Just you, your team, and forty years of science fiction trivia standing between you and the championship.

Here’s every question we fired at you:

Think you’ve got what it takes to top the leaderboard?

Thanks to everyone who came out and played — you made it one for the record books. Keep an eye on our social media and website for upcoming events, because if you thought eighty questions was a lot, just wait until next time. Until then, study up, assemble your team, and remember: “I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you.” We’ll see you at the arcade.
