Calgary trivia & event nights

Calgary has quickly become one of the biggest Trivia markets in Canada, and Tipsy Trivia events here are packed every week. We run Trivia Nights, Name That Tune, and Music Bingo across Calgary at pubs and restaurants that want high turnout, strong repeat traffic, and fun entertainment that actually works long-term.

​

These nights are free to play, fully hosted, and powered by our interactive software system — no slow paper scoring, no dead air, no boring formats. Everything is fast, loud, competitive, and designed to keep people coming back weekly.

​

Calgary crowds love trivia. Every month we see new teams forming, regulars returning, staff excitement, and venues seeing results on their Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday nights. Our themes rotate constantly, which means a Friends fan can compete one week, Disney fans another, and classic General Knowledge players the next. It keeps the atmosphere fresh and gives people reasons to return.

​

If you’re looking for a night out with friends, or you want to jump into the trivia world for the first time, Calgary has events every week — at pubs, breweries, sports bars, and casual restaurants all across the city. Just show up early, grab a table, and get ready to compete.

​

What To Expect at a Calgary Trivia Night

​

You’ll play live using your smartphone — no pens or sheets — and answer in real time while your team watches the leaderboard move on screen. Fast scoring, upbeat hosting, music between rounds, and quick pacing mean you’re never sitting around waiting to see if you got 2/10 or 8/10.

Most events run five rounds over about two hours, with prizes for top teams and bonus giveaways mixed throughout the night. Come solo and join a team, or bring a big group — it’s designed for everybody.

​

Why People Keep Coming Back

​

Calgary players stick with Tipsy Trivia because the experience actually progresses each week:

​

• rotating styles of trivia

• weekly themed nights

• live hosts you get to know

• leaderboard flips

• customized questions

• recognizable pop culture topics

• and a mix of difficulty that keeps it competitive

​

It doesn’t matter whether you’re in it to win or just to laugh at wrong answers — the energy in the room sells the night.

​

Venues We Work With

​

We work with pubs and restaurants that want weekly turnout and guaranteed entertainment value. Some of our Calgary locations have been running for years, and new ones are joining constantly.

From Seton to Stonegate, Beltline to North Calgary, our shows are spread across the city so people don’t have to travel far to find events. You can browse every active Calgary show in the list above — and that list changes constantly as new hosts and new venues launch.
