Finding Teammates for Free Trivia

Free entry is great, but it doesn't help if you don't have a team.

Most venues work best with 4-6 people. If your usual crew isn't available, or you're new to St. John's and don't have a crew yet, Rally helps you find trivia teammates heading to the same night.

Match before you go. Show up as a squad. Worry about the questions, not whether you'll have people to sit with.

Find your trivia team on Rally or read our guide to going to trivia alone.
