NTN - The National Trivia NetworkNTN - The National Trivia NetworkIn December 1995, while visiting a friend in Ohio, I was introduced to a game called NTN trivia. My friend and I were out for dinner at BW-3 enjoying chicken wings and beverages when I noticed that instead of sports on the bars TV there was some sort o f trivia game being played within the bar. My friend and I decided to join in on the fun and each got a Playmaker for ourselves. We were having a good time and ended up playing for a few hours. At the end of each game they give rankings for individual pla y and bar play all across North America, so I had learned that I might be able to play the game once I got back to Canada. I found a few local bars in Peterborough (where I was living at the time) where I could play this game.
Puzzles is located at 344 Richmond Road near the corner of Richmond Road and Churchill Avenue in the Westboro area of Ottawa, Ontario.
There are regular players for the Tuesday, Friday and Saturday night games.
Puzzles consistently ranks in the top 20 in North America in almost any of the NTN games.
