"Shall I describe it to you? Or would you like me to find you a box?"

Well if you want to take part of the next LotR quiz, you should book a table right now, because there's almost no room left ✨ Tonight's quiz will be entirely based on the extended cut version of the beloved movie Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

As always, we recommend that you go to www.nelsonspub.at and reserve a table if you're coming, but as long as there's space left over you can come without a reservation too.

Entry starts at 18:00 and the quiz at 19:00. The quiz is hosted by me, the wonderful W, this evening ✨ As always, we got stickers (although I couldn't find LotR themed ones, sorry) for everyone and some nerdy prizes for our top 3 teams 🏆

On a final note, the quiz will be held in English (as I'm still learning German).
