Calling all Lord of the Rings Fans! Celebrate Bilbo's and Frodo's birthday with us on September 24th with a fun-filled trivia game! We’ve got 35 questions all about Tolkien's popular series of books/movies and themed prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winning teams too!
All you’ll need to do is complete the registration for your team here.
Then, when it’s game time, login to the meeting on Zoom and our hosts will take it away from there. Answers will be submitted by each team using the MyQuiz platform, so you’ll need to login there as well. All the details will be sent via email to registered teams the morning of 9/24.
Please note: This program is open to any currently serving or retired military service members as well as their spouses, partners and families to play together – active duty, national guard, reservists, coalition/allied forces, and retirees are all welcome.
Game Play
Login on Zoom to join in the conversation and see/hear our hosts!
After that, you'll need to go to MyQuiz.org, enter the code and join the quiz - that's where your team's answers will be submitted.
When the quiz starts, it is timed and plays through automatically, so you need to be logged in and ready on time. Only one login per household please.
Quiz questions are all multiple choice. You’ll see a single question at a time with several possible answers on the screen. There could be more than one correct answer.
You have 20 seconds to read and submit an answer to each question. At the end of that time, the answer will be revealed, and scores will be updated by the system automatically before moving to the next question.
Points are assigned automatically by the system, and there is a running scoreboard visible throughout the event. The first three teams/players who answer a question correctly get bonus points. If teams/players have the same number of points at the end of the quiz the winner will be the one who answered fastest on the last question.
At the end of the game you’ll be asked if you’d like results emailed to you. If you make it to 1st, 2nd or 3rd place, you need to say yes and retrieve a secret code to be entered in the drawing – this is to ensure personal security online. (We prefer you use a team name)
Winners will receive a secret code word via email. They must send that code word in an email to [email protected] to be entered into the drawing – prizes will vary and will be themed to the event.
