Smoke Signals: Spooky Month Trivia at Burnt Ends

Gather your fanged friends and dust off your favorite monster T-shirt — October is officially Spooky Month Trivia at Burnt Ends. Every Tuesday at 6 p.m., we’ll be hosting themed trivia nights with Tyla & Keith (yes, trivia rockstars) and spooky drink specials + prizes to boot.

👻 What’s on the Haunt-Lineup

During trivia nights, we’ll also roll out themed drink specials that match the mood (haunted cocktails? yes please). And yes, prizes await the top trivia teams — glory, bragging rights, and maybe something delicious.

Why Trivia Nights Are a Big Deal

• It’s more than a quiz: trivia is a reason for neighbors to mingle, friends to compete, and even folks who don’t know all the answers to feel part of something.

• Off-peak nights matter: those slower weekdays? Trivia gives them life — more foot traffic, more laughs, more smoke in the air.

• You don’t need to be a monster movie expert: teams of mixed interests do great. Someone knows movie lore, someone else remembers random ’80s pop facts.

In Maine, trivia nights are thriving. Bars, breweries, and restaurants across the state host weekly trivia events to build community, beat the midweek doldrums, and keep good vibes flowing. 

Tips Before You Show U

• Teams of 2–6 or team up on site if you’re rolling solo

• Arrive 10–15 minutes early to get settled

• Don’t forget: order food, tip your bartenders — they’re part of the fun

• Bring a mix of brains: horror buffs, pop culture nerds, random facts knowers — you’ll thank yourself

• Keep the vibe spooky but friendly (and safe)

Let’s Make October Legendary

So mark your calendar: every Tuesday, 6 p.m., Burnt Ends becomes the stage for screams, smarts, and smoky fun. Invite your trivia squad, bring your bravest brain cells, and get ready for themed drinks + prizes.

See you Oct 7 for our first round. May your team escape the curse of last place.
