How does the game work?
A typical Doodad Trivia game consists of 5 rounds of approximately 10 questions each.
Common rounds include:
The last round is typically The Final Countdown Round, which is almost a self 100pts. Doodad reads through the questions as players write down their answers, gaining points for each question they get right. At the end of the each round, scores are tallied, answers are read, and the current standings are announced.
Rules
There are three simple rules to trivia: NO shouting answers, NO outside sources (such as phones), and THE QUIZMASTER IS ALWAYS RIGHT. These rules are pretty easy to follow, but if you’re caught breaking one, it’s up to the Quizmaster’s discretion on how to handle it.
Wait until your team has turned in an answer before you look at that incoming text or Tweet on your phone! When you're using your phone at your table, even if it's just to look up a phone number or a funny video - especially before you've turned an answer in - it looks like you're cheating to everyone else. We try to make it as fun as possible, but there are rules.
Scoring
Each correct answer earns you at least one point. Strategically,
