The 5K is a great option for those looking for a challenge, but this is also the perfect event for those looking for a fun day out with the family, a walk in a beautiful park, and/or a way to support a good cause.

Put on your thinking caps and enjoy a night of trivia with a stylish twist! Trivia Through the Decades returns with a 1940s CLUE-inspired décor and costume theme, setting the scene for an evening full of fun and friendly competition.

While the look of the night is classic mystery vibes, the trivia questions themselves span multiple decades, covering topics from the 1920s through today. You won’t be playing CLUE, but you will be testing your knowledge across pop culture, history, and more. Costumes are encouraged (but not required), and guests are welcome to dress as a CLUE character, in 1940s style, or from any decade they love, or simply come ready to play.

The event will be held on April 25 at the Edwardsville Moose Club, 7371 Marine Rd, Edwardsville. Doors open at 6:00 PM, with trivia beginning promptly at 7:00 PM. Teams may include up to 8 players and cost $200 per team table or $25 per person. Space is limited, and this event sells out quickly, so early registration is highly recommended.

Teams registered and paid by April 17 will receive their mulligans for FREE. Participants will enjoy free beer (while supplies last), soda, and water. Outside beverages are not permitted, but guests are welcome to bring their own food.

Cash prizes will be awarded to 1st and 2nd place teams, and a costume contest will add even more fun to the evening. Was it Colonel Mustard in the Moose Club with the candlestick? Join us and find out—it’s sure to be a night to remember!
