Will you be presenting remotely?

Okay to livestream?

Livestreaming is okay

Previously presented?

Sort of. I've led trivia before but this time I'll have a big list of new questions that I've been slowly creating

Special requests:

it could be fun to do in the evening after dinner? I like the idea of doing it with teams on paper like bar trivia (to prevent accidental cheating by people who come late or didn't listen to the rules) but I'm open to other ways too
