Oh no, Easter is early this year! Save the family get-together by winning an Easter Meal Pack (including sides + desserts), because showing up with a full spread might be your best party trick yet. Enter now and make Easter easy.*

TRIVIA AND GAME NIGHTS IN NASHVILLE

Some like to go out to party. Others go out to win trivia and brag about it all week. Ideally, you’re doing both!

Nashville’s game night scene runs deep, from the beloved Nerdy Talk Trivia popping up all over town to niche chaos like a full-on women’s pinball tournament, plus industry nights, half-price game marathons, and even The Price Is Right, live on stage.

Whether you’re chasing glory, a bar tab, or just pressing buttons and yelling answers, here’s where to play!
