One of the best feelings as a trivia player is when you encounter a topic that you are confident in your ability to answer...but what if you could have an entire quiz built around some of your favorite things? On The Catered Quiz, the guests provide the topics and host Rick Katschke then creates a Catered Quiz just for them. It sounds so simple...if you pick the topics, how hard can the quiz be? The Catered Quiz is designed to challenge guests by taking a deep dive into the topics they selected. If you love trivia, minutiae, conversation and fun, The Catered Quiz provides all that and more!
