End of an Era: Chuck & Sean Are Retiring from the Trivia Night that Started It All

Today, Trivia Mafia is a sprawling network of 150+ trivia nights, running events seven days a week in five states. In our braggiest moments, we like to call it the largest and best trivia company in the Midwest, and we’re pretty sure that’s true.

But way back in 2007, it was a single trivia night, run by two guys who barely knew each other, and who certainly had no idea that there could ever be such a thing as a “trivia company.” It was called “Chuck & Sean’s Trivia.” It happened every Sunday night at a bar called the 331 Club in northeast Minneapolis. And it was good.

On Sunday, May 1, those two guys are hanging it up. After 15 years, 730 Sundays (we took a year off for the pandemic, if you’re doing the math), 30,000+ questions, 1.5 bar fights, 25 bartenders, 150 rap-a-doos, 8 movies, 1 marriage, and more Pacificos and Big Meltys than either of them cares to remember, Chuck & Sean are stepping down from the two-foot stage at the 331 Club. They’re just too deep into the dad life to keep up the charade of pretending they’re cool. (Plus, it was starting to get in the way of Chuck’s Frasier-watching and Sean’s contemplative moments of jazzy reflection.)

Trivia Mafia will continue, of course. And Trivia Mafia on Sunday nights at the 331 Club will continue, too: New hosts Danno and Rachel take over starting May 8!

In the meantime, you have two more chances to catch Chuck & Sean in action at the bar where Trivia Mafia was born. Come celebrate with them on April 24 and/or May 1. 8PM. Get there early. What a treat.
