Questions can be found in the Rewards Store within the Arcade, And begin between 8 pm and 8:05 pm DST depending upon your computer clock. There are six questions during the game. The last question is posted between 10:30 pm and 10:35 pm EST. Again, depending upon your computer clock. Each question lasts approximately 30 minutes, so you will need to come up with the correct response within that time frame. If you answer incorrectly, you will see a red “OOPS.” The incorrect response will not count against you unless the time is up. Each correct answer is worth 200 tickets to use in the Rewards Store against the Featured or Current Sweepstakes. So, before you tear your hair out, before you give up, just return to this thread where one or more of us will be able to help. Also, join us in light conversation, ideas or whatever and LET THE FUN BEGIN….😀😀😀🍕🍔🍟🌭🌭🍿
NOTE; Sometimes a little gremlin will pose a question that requires a number. In those instances it may not accept for example 16. It’s the correct response, but you may need to spell it out: sixteen. Other times there may be a two word answer such as: Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday may need to be written as one word: Happybirthday. There are also times when the answer is a plural even though the question seems to reflect something that isn’t. However, sometimes it is easier to check this thread for the correct response.

It’s that time again. I surmise that the Tech team/Arcade Team spent preparing for Black Friday and Cyber Week. Hopefully, we will be back to normal next week or whatever normal is. Until then, good night, stay safe and be well. Hopefully, we will see you next Friday night, same place, same time. Good night and may you have pleasant dreams.

Goodnight and thank you for hosting every Friday Trivia I appreciate it so much. 🌹🌹
I hope we all hear from FBN135 soon. ✨✨
Goodnight Trivia Player’s enjoy the season. ✨🌹

Good night everyone, have a great weekend and be safe. Thank you Oodiebom for hosting our evening 😊 ❤️ 🎄🎄
Thank you Sheba for the beautiful pictures. 🎄🎄🎄🎄 -

Sheba, this gif reminds me so much of Boston where the MTA not only is a subway, but becomes a trolley on many of the roads and byways as well as a train. The scene is reminiscent of Back Bay in Boston where the college students would get together and sing carols up and around the area prior to final exams and the long Christmas holiday. It was always something to look forward to year after year and at the end getting together at the President’s home for homemade sandwiches, hot chocolate and homemade pies. This was the time that we all longed to be home with friends and family.

I was thinking of you when I posted it and I post these pics every year. I thought you may
be a little homesick for the North. 😘😎✨ I love it reminds me of Illinois too. -

Tis The Season ✨✨
-
No matter the weather, no matter the day, tis the season when everyone seems to smile and give a stranger a cherry hello. I always wish that the sentiments could continue throughout the year. It would make a smile beam and people laugh more. I think that one good deed would make everyone have that special feeling, that special tingling. May the joys of the season continue throughout this year and the years that follow.

Thank you Sheba for the gif for FBN. I am hoping and praying that he is on the mend. Two weeks is two weeks too long to be ailing especially during the Holiday Seasons.
-
I want to also pray that Fbn to feel better. Thank you, Sheba , for the very cute Get Well Snowman!
-
You are welcome and he is on my mind. ✨

Happy Holidays To All. ✨✨

Looks like the Arcade Team are playing something other than Trivia. …….😥😥😥
-
Curses on the head of the Arcade Team for walking out on our Friday Night Trivia.
-
-
I think I would be beside myself if they ever offered a decent prize in the Arcade site. Like a cruise, or a resort vacation, or a box of donuts.
-
Welcome to Trivia 8Teddy. If I remember correctly, under the other owners, they did just that. HSN did offer a cruise and quite a few decent prizes. Actually, there were several cruises along with winning a day with HSN and an opportunity to be part of a small audience. Glad you mentioned that, since quite a lot has changed under this regime.
-
In the last 2 years, believe it or not, I’ve won 2 prizes. Both made by Prepon. One was little silicone covers and the strange thing is, my name was NOT on the winners list for it. I actually both called AND wrote them, giving them the email of the winner, and told them that if they sent me a mailer, I’d send it right back. But they didn’t bother to reply. Often, there are complaints that winners didn’t get their prizes, and this is why.
The 2nd prize was a really nice Prepon carbon steel skillet. Requires too much work to keep it from rusting. But I shouldn’t complain. -
I won a prize of $250 for winning the jigsaw puzzle. At that time they took all the winners and mixed up the names. Now they take the top 100 or so, claiming that there are too many winners.

Good evening everyone, happy Friday to all.
Shout out to Oodiebom, Sheba, Sanibelsheller, Fbn135 and Maxienne.-
Hi Xango, hope you are well. Snowing here.
-
Hi Sanibelsheller, all good here. I haven’t seen snow in a long time.
-
Hi xango. Love the cooler temps with no humidity.
-
Hi Oodie, tonight is going to be a cooler night. It’s nice to have no humidity, and low temperatures. A relief from the 90’s and 80’s.
-
-
Tip to all: Cold pizza heats up really well in the air fryer. Fast and the crust crisps up without drying out. Far better than in a reg. oven
-
maxienne, it is absolutely delicious. Better than either a toaster oven or microwave.
-
-
Good Evening Oodiebom. Good evening Trivia Players. ✨✨
-
Hello Sheba, keeping warm I hope.
-
Good evening Sheba. Looks like you may be enjoying some spring like weather,
-
We caught a break today tomorrow it is back to being frozen and I am fine with that. 😎😎
I do have a sinus issue today.
-
-
How goes the roof replacement?
-
It’s coming along. We signed the contract this past Monday and we were given a time frame of 3 wks. That depends, of course, on weather. I will be happy when all this is behind us.
-
maxienne, I do not know what I would do without our air fryer. Great for veggies.
-
Works great with subs. I’ve sung its praises so loud and long, that at least 4 of my friends who swore they didn’t need another appliance, bought one. And thanked me later!
-
maxienne, I use mine quite often. Hubby thinks I’m a gourmet cook. I just laugh to myself knowing that all the work was done by that Air Fryer. I am using my oven less and less.
-
-
Hi trivia players.
-
Good evening Sanibel. Hope you are enjoying some warmer weather.
-
-
Hi maxienne. I think you are the first one to chime in this evening. Others will follow soon. Xango is here. Hope FBN is feeling better.
-
Hope so!

They’re playing hooky. No question available
