Brad is a fantastic game master! He is incredibly engaging, always excited and works hard every week to make sure everyone has fun! Brad also goes above and beyond and makes powerpoints for the game every week! read more

They just get it!! Not the traditional question and answer trivia. But I do love they keep it old school with pen and paper answering system. Hambone's keeps it fresh with a variety of formats and wagers. One round we had to guess TV shows by looking at photos. Fun, right? So much more than I anticipated. I'll certainly be booking them for private events for work in the near future! read more

For the last year I have been participating in trivia games with friends in various venues around Buffalo, NY. Unfortunately, due to COVID, there was a long dry spell of no trivia. Fear not, Hambone's is there and I'm so glad I learned about this company from a virtual Yelp event. They have free trivia a couple nights a week, and then themed trivias, like The Office, and Friends, which seem fun. My mom, her boyfriend and I participated in the Monster Game Trivia on a Thursday night virtually. Matt Hammond, owner of Hambone's Trivia, is very interactive and chats with everyone making comments. Dolly Parton, his dog, is ridiculously cute when she makes an appearance. Be warned though, the trivia questions are really hard! And have some integrity, and don't cheat when you play! Also, the rounds are too long. I think if the time was shortened up, the cheating wouldn't be as prevalent. read more

we love this place! love the drinks! Been coming here for 3 years now and the Drinks are amazing! read more

This a PSA for your weekend plans. Join Hambone's for virtual trivia (while quarantine is still happening at least!) and have a blast. Their games are family-friendly and they offer both free and paid games (for specialty, themed trivia games such as "The Office" trivia). How'd I hear about them? It all started when I entered their Twitter competition to guess how many pieces of candy were in a jar. When I found out I won (most excitement as of recent), I circled back to learn more about them. It turned out that they're one of the most fun companies in town. We partnered with Hambone's on a Yelp Coast to Coast Trivia night that was a BLAST. I can't put into words how wonderful it was to work with owner Matt, Jessica, and their entire team. They're complete professionals that have really got trivia questions down to a science. Matt used to be an attorney and gave that up to follow his passion in using trivia to bring smiles to people's faces. You can imagine how great an attorney is at having a loud, clear voice and facilitating a crowd. Matt is perfect for the job! After that trivia game was so much fun, my family members kept texting me to sign us up for more games. This week, we've played the free Wednesday "Monster Game" (assortment of questions) and this Saturday, we paid for The Office themed trivia. The paid games are only $22 a team (few dollars per person if you gather some friends or family, or even video call them while social distancing). They even offer trivia themed off of Friends, Vanderpump Rules, Desperate Housewives, Marvel, pop culture, and many more. So much freakin' fun! We're addicted over here! read more

Like many others, I discovered Hambone's Trivia during the COVID-19 pandemic thanks to the Yelp Indy event. Since then, I've tuned in frequently on Thursday nights for "Monster Trivia" with my boyfriend and his trivia group. Matt is an energetic and engaging trivia host and streams live through YouTube (from "the trivia capital of the free world, Indianapolis IN"). Teams submit their answers through a Google Form, so our group gathers on Zoom and screen shares so we can read the questions and deliberate together. The rounds get progressively harder, culminating in a final round where you can wager as many points as you want. I highly recommend Hambone's Trivia for a fun (and free) trivia night with friends. Matt and his crew also host virtual trivia events for companies and private groups, which would be great for a staff holiday party or teambuilding! read more

Yelp's Coast-to-Coast Trivia Night with Hambone's Trivia was an awesome way to spend a Saturday night. Matt Hammond "Hambone" did a masterful job of running the Virtual Trivia show while hoards of Yelp's Elites racked their brains for the answers to obscure trivia questions (like what is Judge Judy's salary?) I'll definitely engage again with Hambone's in the future when I'm looking for fun, excitement and friendly competition. Great show Matt along with a shoutout to Niki Burt, Yelp's Community Manager from Indianapolis, who hosted the event. Five Big Ones! read more

We did a virtual trivia through Yelp with Hambone's Trivia and it was so much fun! We finished 96 out of 346, go team Beer Snobs. I've already signed up for the pop culture trivia event and can't wait. On another note, don't cheat. It is more fun and challenging if you don't. read more

WHAT A FUN NIGHT! I participated in a trivia night with Hambone through a yelp virtual event, recently. I was a little skeptical of how much fun it would be, but boy was I proven wrong. Hambone's Trivia hosted and did such a great job - great energy, enthusiasm, questions, managed the chat room well, and quickly got scores back for us even though there were over 200 teams stretched across the globe. They had to hire more graders just for us! I can't wait to play again! read more

So much fun! Just a tad stressful because I hate to lose but what a fun time at home! Thanks for the event! Didn't do well but still had a blast. Well organized, easy to participate in, fun host and opportunity to chat with the community via youtube! All in all a great time! Can't wait to participate in the FRIENDS trivia event! read more

Hambone's Trivia - Having a blast with my teammate! - Trivia Hosts Near Me

I found Hambone's through a Yelp event and have since gotten many friends involved in their Thursday night "monster trivia." You watch the game through their Youtube channel. It's always entertaining and Matt is a great host - entertaining and engaging. I'm generally terrible at trivia. But this trivia is extra fun because you don't have to be an expert in all the little facts. The questions are general enough that anyone can at least guess at an answer and sometimes be right too! What's awesome about this virtual trivia is that you fill out your answers through their prearranged google docs answer sheet and they are live-scored. No more "answer at home and score yourself." The monster trivia is split in to 4 rounds. Matt clearly explains each round and there's always a little friendly banter between teams in the youtube live chat. Highly recommend! Check out their Youtube Channel at 8:30ET on Thursdays, everyone's welcome! read more

We participated in Yelp's Coast to Coast Trivia with Team Bham online! The concept was awesome and it was neat to play with folks from not only all over the United States, but world! The questions were tough! But I guess they have to be because even though everyone is asked to not look up the answers, inevitably people did. I did think that the amount of time given to answer was too long and made it easier for those people to look up the correct answers. It would have been neat to see a scoreboard and not just the top 10. Would play again! read more

Yelp recently did a trivia night all across the nation as part of their Big Night In event. The point was to get takeout food to support local businesses, and then play trivia. The host did a great job and definitely has the voice for a trivia announcer. The questions were fun and challenging, and they made sure people couldn't get too far ahead. My main criticism would be that their is probably too much time for questions, and since it is online, probably too much time for teams to cheat and look up answers. Overall, our team had fun and we enjoyed the event. Thanks Hambone and Yelp for a great diversion from everything going on! read more

I participated in tonight's free online trivia, and I really enjoyed it! The questions were fun and challenging (for me) -- they ranged from salaries of certain people, tallest land animals, guess that movie, etc. It was more interactive than I thought thanks to the live chat and the great host who was constantly reading the chat messages and engaging with the attendees. I also really like how everyone seemed to be playing in the spirit of the game, meaning that most people seemed to not be cheating (e.g. searching things on Google). The fact that everyone was playing with integrity made this so much more lighthearted and fun. I just subscribed to their newsletter, which sends out weekly schedules for their games/events. Really looking forward to checking out their future events! read more

Chaotic having YouTube, video conference, and the quiz open in 3 windows. I prefer Mentimeter over Hambone's virtual trivia but I like Hambone's 5 phases of answers in Google Form format over some others' Trivia Google Forms. LA Trivia shows the answers and team rankings on their Youtube screen live. Hambone has the questions in their form instead of just "Question 1". It is also interesting that there are separate Google Forms/ Answer sheets for the captain and the team. The Infatuation virtual trivia makes you answer each question within their video but only gives you 15 seconds, which is too short. Mentimeter has good timing, you can answer with your phone, and it has a great interface. Overall, this was fun, but it's hard to hear both the team discussion while the moderator is talking. Having more visuals on the Youtube would be nice but totally understandable since it is live. read more

Hambone's Trivia - Trivia Hosts Near Me

Oh my gosh. I had my sister in Memphis on FaceTime and it was such a nice bonding experience. We were able to hang out together during this quarantine even though she's so far away. We laughed during the entire thing. Such a fun game. It was challenging, but that made it more exciting when we got questions right. We even placed like top 35 out of SO MANY teams. Which made us feel awesome and smart (thanks for that). I will say I was super impressed with how quickly they got the scores counted. I do bar trivia (back when we could do that kind of thing) and they were so much quicker than that. So I'd definitely pay the money for another round. I'll have to check it out. read more

Thank you! A fun time during this quarantine. This was a fun experience. The MC was engaged, the questions were fun and engaging. It was a good balance of hard and easy. I digged the format. Something worth checking out. Stay safe! #SafeAtHome read more

Hambone's Trivia - Game time, let's go! - Trivia Hosts Near Me

Miss your local bar's trivia? Replicate the experience with Hambone's from the comfort of your home. Gather your friends on your video conferencing platform of choice, send them the links, pour your pint, and get ready to play some fun trivia. I learned about Hambone's Trivia in Yelp's Coast to Coast trivia. It was so much fun we purchased a round of the 2010-2019 trivia for our team! They email you 30 minutes ahead with the YouTube link and google forms link to submit your answers so you can be ready to go right at the start time. Matt is terrific and very engaging both while reading the questions and leading up to the trivia. They even have photo rounds! I think this is a fabulous way to spend an hour and well worth the cost. I will say there was one trivia error in our game and Matt was very understanding and had his scoring team adjust the points accordingly which I sincerely appreciated! You have got to try out Hambone's! read more

I have to be in a pretty desperate situation to play trivia other than Hambone's. Great format, great hosts, great questions.

Great time playing trivia with the Yelp online event. The host was great and everyone on our team had a fun time. I wish the game had started on time, but even with the delay, it was a fun night. The questions were challenging and fun! read more

Had a blast at Tuesday night trivia at Hotel Tango in Fletcher Place! I appreciate that the trivia was on your phone so you don't have to ask for the questions to be repeated. The question categories were really fun and accessible for a variety of people. Be sure to check out their social media for a few clues before going! read more

I was introduced to Hambone's Trivia during a Yelp virtual event last year and since I've played on and off with some friends from around the country in their Thursday night "Monster" game. The main host Matt "Hambone" Hammond does a great job along with the rest of the group Dan Cahalan, Stacy Stover, Noah Nash etc... The games are streamed on YouTube and you submit answers on Google Forms sheets. The questions are tough (they did mention their normal games are easier so I guess they test out their tough questions on Thursdays haha) and we are at a severe disadvantage when it comes to Indianapolis/Indiana trivia. The games are still fun and we get a top 15 finish every now and then. Wish we lived in Indianapolis so we could support y'all in person! - Team "Where's Josh/Edwin/Desmond/insert whoever doesn't show up" read more

Hands-down the BEST trivia for an evening out, private family party or work event! So much fun. You can check out at 40+ local games before you book your private trivia. Enjoy! read more

I attended Hambone's Coast to Coast Trivia night -the largest trivia night to date - and it was a blast! Highly recommend Hambones trivia if you haven't tried it before! It was a smooth, seamless event right from home. After joining the secret YouTube link from your email, you had access to the live feed and the questions from your phone as well. I learned a few things from trial and error: -if you access YouTube from your tv, you can't comment in the live feed which is disappointing -we were told not to exit out of the questions during trivia. Apparently answering a text constitutes as exiting the questions, so I had to do the "comment of shame" on the YouTube feed to tell them I was kicked out of the game. They were fast at helping! -however once I got back in the questions, I wasn't sure if I had to answer ALLLL the previous questions again, so I did anyways (with my original answer btw, no cheating here!) Not sure how they graded the questions so quick, but each round always went pretty fast which was nice! Also, is it weird to say that Hambone has a great voice for reading trivia questions? Cause he does! read more

Hambone's Trivia - Trivia Hosts Near Me

Team42 was there for the start of Yelp's Big Night In. I was happy to have cameras and mic's off, as eating dinner and getting all the devices synced would not have been a pretty sight. I couldn't find the 1st up in about 15 sec warm up and someone on the chat had a link on the chat in about 15 sec! Everyone was there for the fun! At first I thought 6 minutes was a long time to chat about 6 questions, but the harder quizzes needed it. I'm sure we were waaaayyyy down the list of teams, but it was a GREAT start to the Big Night In. Thanks hambone! read more

It was fun doing this for Yelp's Big night in. Some questions were hard but it was a fun time and a great way to do it virtually. The host was entertaining and it was a good time. Thanks so much even though I bombed the trivia rounds lol. read more

So much fun! I cant wait to do another one! My friends thought I was crazy for getting together a trivia tonight but at the end they said it was so much fun! Matt was the best host and the questions were so hard it really got our brains thinking! read more

Best trivia in central Indiana! I have played Hambone's trivia with a few different groups from various settings and everyone always had so much fun!!! No matter who is in the group, everyone can always contribute an answer and get that awesome feeling! Best pub trivia out there read more

What a fun online event! Joined with the Yelp Coast to Coast trivia and will definitely jump in for another Hambone's Trivia in the future! The MC was very engaging and asked all the questions clearly. The format was easy to maneuver, questions a good mix of doable and challenging. Great virtual event to join online, especially during crazy COVID times! Yelp, many thanks for sponsoring a wonderful event by Hambone's! I look forward to enjoying again in the future! read more

A lot of fun, Hambone gave us a variety of challenging questions presented in different ways. A nice way to spend the Pandemic!

COVID19 isn't stopping businesses for doing what they can to stay open and provide for our communities -- and Hambone's is no exception! They have organized an amazing and easy-to-play Trivia for any and all groups all over the country (and internationally!). I participated in a Yelp "Big Night In" virtual trivia night, and it was so fun! The host broadcast on YouTube live and teams played by inputting their answers into the Google Form links. It was super easy and well organized. If you check out their website, they have themed nights and events for private groups (personal, corporate, etc)! read more

What a fun event! I was impressed with the nationwide following for this event and the fun that Hambone's Trivia brought to the game! I had a blast and will surely seek out Hambone's events in the future. It was easy to answer via the answer sheets provided for the virtual event, and I'm sure in person would be just as much of a blast - when locations can be open to host! Questions were challenging but knowable and guessable to be fun for trivia neophytes like me! read more

I miss the days of in-person trivia at Sam's in Fountain Square, but Hambone's has adapted super well to COVID life. The virtual trivia is amazing & google docs makes it sooooo easy. Getting questions right felt just as good from the comfort of my own patio as it did in local bars (never enough questions right to win, but it's about having fun right!?). Can't wait to be back in person, but I'm so so so appreciative of Hambone's virtual trivia keeping us sharp! read more

So much fun! My husband and I played on a team with another couple. We set up our laptops for the game and then used FaceTime to communicate and talk through our answers with our team. This was the perfect way to spend our Saturday evening, especially during a time when we can't physically be together. We can't wait to check out another one soon! This was so well organized, and super easy to follow along. I appreciated being able to hear the questions read aloud as well as being able to see and read them myself! Thank you to yelp and Hambone's for hosting this awesome event! read more

Such a fun and cute event to spend virtually and work collaboratively with friends! Ranging from guessing movies from gifs, guessing random number stats, and more, there were so many different categories of questions and types of questions!! It was very organized, the host made the directions very straight forward on how to submit questions. Thanks so much Hambone Trivia and Yelp for making this fun event possible! read more

Trivia was so much fun. The questions were challenging & interesting -- I'd recommend! Thank you!

Fun, engaging and unique! Great night of trivia!

I participated in this trivia during the Yelp Night In that y'all had set up. I really liked how easy everything was to be part of it. I was a bit nervous that it would have been complicated. You kept it fun and the chat room was a blast to meet and connect with others. Using the google platform was a smooth way to have us virtually answer questions. The trivia itself was varied and I liked that it was a bit more on the difficult side (I sucked hard but it was fun). It all seemed super smooth and it's something I may consider doing more often! Who would have thunk?! read more
