One of Kansas City's longest-running trivia games is switching venues from the Brick (1727 McGee) to Retro (1518 McGee).

It's been 10 years since the dawn of the weekly Friday night Trivia Riot. Says Brick owner Sheri Parr:

I want to say that I am grateful for the last 10 years of Trivia Riot, but we are looking forward to the upcoming Friday performance and band-booking opportunities.
