Win Prizes at the Retro Con 2014 Trivia Contest!

January 31, 2014 retroconz Leave a comment

We’ve once again combed the far reaches of our attic to find prizes for the second-annual Retro Con trivia contest!! We’ve got a good mix of both new and retro items, with more on the way.

Hosted once again by our good friend Mike Breaux of The Breaux Show, the contest will be held in the panel room at the convention (start time and duration to be determined). But this year we decided to include a few costumed characters to help Mike out!

Our friend Kevin Conn as Unemployed Skeletor!

And our friend Robert Franzese as Peter Griffin!

There are no age restrictions, anyone can watch and play! We will reveal each item one at a time, then ask a trivia question related to it, after which we will randomly select a person in the audience that has their hand raised to answer. If they get it right, they win the prize on the spot. If not, we ask a different audience member. Wet, lather, rinse, repeat. It’s very free and open!

So stop by and test your knowledge of all things geek!
