If you love trivia and want to turn your knowledge into cash, Trivia Untapped’s Points League is your chance to win big while having a blast. With leagues across Milwaukee and Southeastern Wisconsin, you can compete weekly, earn points, and win a share of thousands of dollars in prize money. Here’s everything you need to know to get in the game and maximize your winnings!

How the Trivia Untapped Points League Works

  • Team-Based Play: Gather your squad because Trivia Untapped’s Points League is team-based. Each league is specific to a venue, meaning you’ll be competing against regular teams over a 12-week season.

  • Consistent Format: The trivia format includes regular questions, speed rounds, a halftime challenge, and a wager question. Some locations even include a music element!

  • Earning Points: Teams accumulate points each week just by playing, and performance determines your standing. You don’t need to win every week—staying consistently near the top is key.

The Cash & Prizes: How Much Can You Win?

The prize pool grows based on league dues, meaning more teams = bigger payouts. Here’s an example payout for a league with 15 teams of six players:

  • 1st place: $2,700

  • 2nd place: $1,350

  • 3rd place: $810

  • 4th place: $540

Each player contributes just $7 per week ($84 for the entire 12 weeks), making it an affordable way to win big money while enjoying a night out.

Beyond the season’s cash prizes, each venue also provides weekly prizes (usually gift cards), giving teams extra incentives to bring their A-game.

How to Join the League

Trivia Untapped accepts 8–20 teams per league, with teams typically made up of six players. Spots fill quickly, so early registration is recommended. Sign-ups are first come, first served and done online.

Current Milwaukee-area leagues include:

  • Mondays: On Tap

  • Tuesdays: The Sofie

  • Thursdays: Broken Bat Brewing Co.

  • Thursdays: Original Brown Deer Beer Garden

Six additional leagues are launching soon across Southeastern Wisconsin!
