We’ve teamed up with Tap In Creative Club for Design Week Sacramento to bring you a special edition of Tap In like no other: Trivia Night.

This is where creative brains meet beers over a few rounds of no-pressure, high-energy design & art-focused trivia. Expect bold questions, wild guesses, whiteboard challenges, and the kind of obscure knowledge that finally gets its moment to shine.

Whether you’re a brand wizard, a Photoshop jockey, or just here for the vibes—there’s a category for you.

3 rounds. Team-based. Weird prizes. Good beer. Better people.

There are no shortcuts. Just great questions and greater company.
