Sporcle, the trivia game that has been an obsession among bored high schoolers, celebrities, and even Jeopardy! contestants for the better part of two decades, is taking over the Washington Hilton for three days in September with the first-ever SporcleCon.

For the uninitiated, Sporcle bills itself as the world’s largest quiz community with more than 4.5 million “mentally stimulating diversions,” with topics ranging from cats to Rob Lowe. Launched in 2007, the game provides prompts — such as, “Can you name the bands and musical acts that start with W?”— and players must type as many answers as possible before the clock runs out (with some hints along the way). Sporcle members can create their own quizzes, and the site boasts a number of contests, discussion boards, and opportunities to collaborate.

It’s no wonder at least a handful of Jeopardy! all-stars have credited the online game with their success. In fact, SporcleCon, which will be held from Sept. 23-25, will be hosted by 12-time Jeopardy! champion Austin Rogers, a bartender and trivia night host in New York who won $400,000 on the game show.

The convention will also offer attendees a chance to audition for Jeopardy!, as the casting crew will be on site during the event’s last day. (Heads up — participants have to pass the Jeopardy! “anytime test” before Aug. 31, as well as a group test over Zoom before auditioning.)

Less than 50 days until @sporclecon. I'm torn between excitement over three straight days of trivia and worry that those attending will finally see how extra I am IRL.

While the company says it hosts more than 500 weekly trivia events across the U.S. each, this is Sporcle’s first tentpole event. TriviaCon, the convention’s first iteration, was supposed to take place in Vegas in 2020 — but, well … we know the end to that story.

The event includes chances to win prizes, nightly performances by soul-pop duo Lawrence, live podcast recordings, and, of course, tons and tons of quizzes.

Upon registering, attendees will choose between five colors, each one representing a different team that will win points for a different charity throughout the weekend; here’s the list of colors and charities.

The live events will be presented like most trivia nights you’ve been to: a host will read question aloud in rounds of increasing difficulty, and there will be a chance to win raffles with raffle prizes or cash — a total of $20,000 in cash and charitable donations will be handed out. For those unable to attend in person, there are opportunities to participate online.

Members of the D.C.-area trivia community will also be present at the convention. District Trivia founder Nick Groves will host a few rounds of trivia, showcasing the new TriviaMatic digital system for quiz hosts. Northern Virginia’s Drink N Think Trivia will bring it’s beer-and-questions style game to the convention, as well. One event invites teams to participate in an embassy-focused scavenger hunt around the neighborhood.

For nostalgic fans of Sporcle, the game’s founder, Matt Ramme, will give a talk on the company’s early years and how he started it.

The event hosts say SporcleCon is for trivia fans of all skill levels, and Metrobar is hosting a pre-convention party for attendees to get to know each other on Thursday, Sept, 22 at 7 p.m. Tickets for the entire weekend start at $199, while single day tickets start at $99.
