REAL HOSTS.
FRESH QUESTIONS.
We're not an app. We're not a bar game. We're a live trivia company that's been packing weeknights in Colorado bars since 2010.
Meet our hosts.
Every TIAC night is run by a host who knows the room. Not a bartender handed a microphone — someone trained for this, who cares about your experience.

Built in bars.
Run by regulars.
This Is a Clue started in 2010 with one night, one bar, and a hand-written question sheet. The crowd was small. The prizes were mostly bragging rights. The host drove home with gas money and a tab.
It worked because the questions were good and the host knew how to run a room. Fifteen years and thousands of trivia nights across Colorado later, that's still the whole formula.
We write every question fresh each week. No recycled dumps, no AI slop, no stock pub quiz packs. Three rounds of 10 questions — local references, national culture, sports, science, history — calibrated to a room of people who actually want to think.
Our hosts aren't background music. They're the reason regulars come back. We hire people who know how to read a room, control a pace, and make the couple in the back corner feel like they belong as much as the 12-person team that's been there every week for three years.
