In late March 2020 COVID-19 related social distancing stipulations required the closure of all non-essential businesses including *gasp* trivia nights. Aimon Clark had been running Man vs Bear Trivia in several venues across Brisbane since 2013 and decided to create the Isolation Trivia - Livestreamed for Lockdown Facebook page as a way of staying connected with his regular players.
He began streaming general knowledge quizzes and what started with around 80 live players rapidly grew over the coming weeks to thousands of regulars. A community formed around the nights and soon enough they had started their own inside jokes and way of communicating. With the help of sponsors Green Beacon Brewing, Sea Legs, and Burger Urge, players across the country have the chance to win some prizes.
Now, we are back in all your favourite venues around Brisbane and still livestream from our Facebook page every Friday night. What sets us apart is the creativity and humour we put into our questions. We believe that trivia nights should ask you about things you’ve encountered over your life - and give you that light bulb moment, not questions that leave you confused, asking ‘who would even know that?’. The quality of our quizzes has grown us a large and dedicated following. We think our nights are the best - but we’ll let you be the judge of that.
Aside from running Isolation Trivia, Aimon also hosts the monthly live music game show Not on Your Rider at The Triffid which features guests from across the Australian entertainment industry. You can also catch him hosting trivia on ABC Radio Brisbane every second Tuesday from 2pm.
