A year ago this weekend,
Trivia Riot — that long-cherished weekly brainiac challenge — moved up McGee Street, from the Brick to Retro. Tonight, the award-winning quiz relocates again, past the river to Helen's JAD Bar & Grill (2002 Armour Road, North Kansas City, 816-471-4567). Host Roland Reschke just reached his own milestone: the five-year mark of leading this two-hour game. He estimates that he has written approximately 20,000 questions. "It will remain our usual challenging game with a broad range of categories mixing pop culture and more educationally sophisticated material," he says. Trivia Riot now starts at 7:30, but look for extended happy-hour prices: $8 Bud Light and Miller Lite pitchers and $3 wells. The $5-a-person buy-in remains the same.
