Join us for an evening of Virtual Trivia for solo players and teams! Registrants (soloists and team captains only) will receive a link to access the Zoom Meeting. On the afternoon of the event there will be a follow-up email that will include the rules and an answer sheet. Team captains should share this information with their team members. Our questions are geared towards adults in challenge rating, but for families who want to play together, please know that there are no "embarrassing" questions or content. Participants' videos will not need video participation, so no need to worry about having a working webcam to play. The ability to access Zoom and view slides on a screen is all you need for this fantastic trivia fun! Since this event is using Zoom, teams who don't live together will need to communicate by some non-Zoom means - for example, texting, Facetime, Google Hangouts, etc. Let us know if you have any questions by sending an email to askbelmont@minlib.net. https://belmontpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/virtual-trivia-night-24/
