Trivia

Testing your Potter knowledge
and your speedy fingers!

Trivia is an activity done live a couple times a week and it’s all about Harry Potter and the Wizarding World universe.

Levels:

We offer trivia in levels. These will be marked when trivia times are scheduled!

    • Common Knowledge Trivia: This is EASY trivia that most Potterheads would know off the top of their heads. Any searching is discouraged.
    • Obscure Trivia: This is more challenging trivia that, while some Potterheads might know it, it might be so obscure you’ll have to be quick to find the answers or study!
    • Blended Trivia: This is a blend of common knowledge and obscure questions (and even emojis or pictures) so be prepared for anything!
    • Emoji Trivia: Every question can be answered with one of our custom Harry Potter emojis (We have 50!) so these tend to be very easy. It’s just about being quick to post that emoji! Such a fun twist to emote first!
    • Picture Trivia: Questions are connected by a picture. Could be a picture of a wand and you need to say who’s or it could be a picture of a person and you need to present their birthdates. Hosts have unlimited opportunities!

    HOW TO PLAY

    Trivia will be schedule at the start of the week (or even further in advance) and be updated on the calendar.

      • In order to play, you must be in our group Discord chat. Please make sure you’ve joined!
      • Each game of trivia is hosted by one Staff member. They will post the rules in the trivia channel before the start of each game. They will have 10-20 questions in their games.
      • The Staff Host will announce each question. Once a host has announced an upcoming question, there should be no messages except for answers.
      • The first correct (free of spelling answers and complete) will earn their house points.
      • We require first and last names and full-written names of things whenever possible. Only canon nicknames and abbreviations are allowed. (For example, you might use Madam Hooch or DADA. If it’s not canon-used, it must be fully written.)
      • If you have any concerns about if trivia was correct, please send a direct message in discord to Shalane Hutchins, Samantha Smith or a member of your house staff.
      • Ultimately, the Staff Host will usually have the say in correct answers.
