Music Trivia! Join us for a wild night of song-guessing music trivia. Music Mayhem challenges players and teams to quickly guess the title and artist of the songs played using their phones - think "Name That Tune" meets "Wheel of Fortune". The faster you correctly guess, the more points you'll earn. It's free to play and you can win beer and swag prizes via in-game raffles held throughout the night. And the top teams also win cash and other prizes! Gather some friends and build your dream team. Will you be the Music Mayhem champion?
