Scenes from the room

Photographs from actual nights — packed patios, pen-and-paper answer sheets, and the moment a table realizes it guessed wrong.

Players filling a covered patio bar at dusk under string lights during a trivia night. A packed event tent lit magenta, teams huddled over answer sheets at long picnic tables. Teams at tables on a patio under a purple-lit ceiling, screens showing the round overhead. A large canopy tent hung with disco balls and string lights, teams seated at colorful picnic tables. The host at the host station with a laptop and microphone, teams playing at tables behind him. A player raising a hand mid-round while nearby teams grin at the camera under the tent canopy. Mark Lloyd, host of The Smart Set Live, smiling in front of a neon sign and a greenery wall. A summer-evening patio crowd at high-top tables with players lined up at the bar behind them. An open-air beer garden strung with colorful bunting, players working through answer sheets.
