Sharon's Diner

My first post is about where I first found true trivia love. Sharon's Diner is the first trivia event I went to as an SL newbie and I realised there was a whole world of SL trivia to tap into.

The setting is Sharon's Diner, with all the jokes about Ella the Salmon, mortality rates among the customers and visits from Environmental Health.

And it works so well. I call Sharon my hosting role model because she's just so good. She's friendly to newcomers, keeps the conversation going and, though she themes her questions, the questions have a wide enough range to stop players dominating the event.

On Mondays Sharon has started BYOT: Bring your own Trivia. The idea is that players ask questions of their own and Sharon hands out the prizes. It's one of the ways that people can try their hands at trivia hosting without the sttress of running a whole event, and the talent spotters from Lilly's Irish Pub have already recruited Karmel from Sharon's BYOT.




Until recently Wednesdays was Maggie Sewell's Wheel of Misfortune. Every fifth winner had the chance to spin the wheel for a random prize, which in my case was usually 0L but could be 1000L. Maggie's not doing it at the moment, and the new Wednesday star is Weniki Oh, the Miss Whiplash of SL Trivia.

I'm going to come back to the show element of trivia in a little while, but Sharon's Diner is an event that is far more than the sum of it's questions.

Sharon's Diner is open for business Monday-Thursday 0900-1100 SLT
