§ ABOUT · COLORADO'S LIVE TRIVIA COMPANY · SINCE 2010

Real hosts. Fresh questions. Always free to play.

A locally owned live trivia company running weeknights in 16+ Colorado bars across 7 cities — 15+ years of trained hosts, original questions, and a fresh game every week.

§ A · Our Story

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, and 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-plus years and more than 10,000 trivia nights across Colorado later, that's still the whole formula — locally owned and operated, not a franchise, not an app.

We write every question fresh each week. No recycled dumps, no AI slop, no stock pub quiz packs. Three rounds, 30 questions, one of them always a picture round — 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 team that's been there every week for years.

§ B · The Team

The hosts who run the room.

Every This Is A Clue night is run by a host who knows the room — someone trained for this, who cares about the experience and reads the crowd from the cold open to the final tiebreaker.
