Trivia Challenge 2026

What’s the Trivia Challenge?

Teams of three battle it out for the coveted title of “Trivia Champions of Northern San Mateo County.” Winners are immortalized on the perpetual trophy and return the following year to defend their title. But it’s not just about brains—teams also compete for Best Team Costume, showing off their creativity with wigs, hats, t-shirts, and anything that screams fun.

What to Expect

• Silent Auction Preview: Browse exciting items before the competition begins.
• Full Bar & Buffet Dinner: Enjoy delicious food and drinks with friends and colleagues.
• Trivia Showdown: Cheer on your favorite team as the battle of wits unfolds.

Whether you're competing or cheering from the sidelines, the Trivia Challenge is a perfect blend of entertainment and purpose—all in support of literacy and lifelong learning through Project Read.
