This is more or less a copy paste from the text document I referred to while running this trivia show in Glitch. I think the best we ever did was close to 30 people. I ran it once a week for a few months, and then a couple times here and there. There were prizes and sillyness, and the show had a soundtrack using music blocks... It was a good time, and one of the weird things I enjoyed being able to do in the game.
I figure for fun all of the questions I used could be posted up. Most of them were horrible, but the point was mostly to have fun. Many of my friends provided prizes since I could never afford anything cool for the players who won on my own :D. Loads of credit to the biggest fan Wuilyl who volunteered to be sound and effects crew for the gameshow for a few "episodes"
