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.
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.
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.
