Retro Trivia Night
Test your knowledge of retro gaming, 90s pop culture, and arcade history every Wednesday night. Free to play. Teams welcome.
About Retro Trivia Night
Wednesday nights at Super Rad Retro Lounge belong to the trivia buffs, the nostalgia nerds, and anyone who thinks they know a little too much about the 90s. Retro Trivia Night is a free, team-based trivia event that covers everything from classic arcade games and 8-bit soundtracks to 90s sitcoms, one-hit wonders, and forgotten pop culture gems. If you have ever argued about which Street Fighter character is the best or can name every member of TLC without blinking, this is your night.
Each trivia night features multiple themed rounds that keep the competition fresh and unpredictable. One round might test your knowledge of retro video game bosses, while the next dives deep into 80s movie quotes or forgotten Saturday morning cartoons. The variety means that no single person or team dominates every category. Your group's secret weapon might be the friend who memorized every lyric from the Spice Girls discography or the one who spent their childhood mastering every NES game ever released.
Teams of up to six players are encouraged, but solo players are welcome too. Walking in alone is a great way to meet new people, and the host is always happy to help connect individuals into teams. The vibe is casual and social, more about laughing at the questions you get wrong than stressing over the ones you get right. That said, the competition does heat up toward the final rounds, and winning teams walk away with prizes that make bragging rights even sweeter.
Retro Trivia Night has become one of the most popular midweek events on Glenwood South, and for good reason. It is the perfect date night activity, a great excuse to get your friend group together, or an ideal way to break up the work week with something genuinely fun. Pair the trivia with drink specials and a room full of playable arcade classics, and you have a Wednesday night that is hard to beat anywhere in Raleigh.
