Shippensburg University students put their sports, music and movie knowledge to the test at the Activities Program Board (APB) trivia night Thursday.
Students came in groups of two to four people. Each group had one piece of paper they were able to put the answers to the questions on. APB members kept close tabs on people who tried to cheat using their phones with a cell phone ban.
Each round of questions ranged from 13-14 questions with 40 questions asked overall. The questions ranged from multiple choice to short answer. Groups could receive bonus points depending on the questions.
“The event gave me the opportunity to meet new people I wouldn’t have met otherwise,” freshman Briana Falwell said. “It beats being in the dorms.”
Throughout the event, students could request a raffle ticket for a bus trip to New York.
APB will be taking two students from the event, among other SU students to New York in the coming weeks.
After each round, the groups were told to bring their papers up to the front of the room where members of APB would grade them. Each question was worth at least two points.
Groups could request to double their score once throughout the game in any one round. The highest score at the end was 117 points.
When asked what APB could improve on for the next trivia night, students gave positive suggestions.
“They should provide better food, better music and a better way to record answers,” freshman Noriana Cooley said.
