Contest Brief

I'm hoping to add a trivia writer who can bring something new to the table. What does that mean? A point of view that may surprise Alex Trebek. Someone who can create engaging themes (create a pen name/character, use an alter ego) and create question sets that are diversified and entertaining. Topics can vary from gossip-news-history-travel-relationships-pop culture terms-music-movies-basically anything you find interesting (that is not too obscure).

Clues should derive from general knowledge/pop culture- sometimes double cluing helps if answer is borderline. Some can be academic but that can get a little dry by itself. The samples posted will give decent guidelines for format- clues should be no more than ~30 words. Answers no more than 25 characters.

If this seems like something that may interest you, please create a unique theme and 5-8 questions under that theme. There's really no way to interview for a role like this...hence this idea. If its a good fit, I'll follow up by Friday to set up a project.

This is for an adult audience. You have carte blanche with theming. (to avoid getting bogged down in wikipedia- probably best to work within your areas of interest) I've been asked to create 60 min of material p/week for the next couple months (local pub chain that is going to stream the video at happy hour). @~2.5 min p/batch, that's about 24 unique batches each week. Ideally a min of 6-8 (per week) or more could come from freelancer here.

This is an experiment so please feel free to ask any questions/offer ideas. Look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Best,
Sean

Hi there, you write that it is for an adult audience, therefore can some of the clue be a little 'blue'? A little cheeky perhaps?

  Hi Natalie- sorry I missed your note- yes blue/cheeky is well within reason. Some went all out x-rated...going to take a day or two and will post winner on Monday. Glad you had fun with it!
