A percentage of proceeds from the event will go to support HCT's creative and community programming. Guests are invited to organize teams of up to six people for the contest. Paul Sapp will be Trivia Master for the contest, which will consist of three rounds of ten questions, testing teams on their knowledge of current/historical events, "musical murder and mayhem", and other thematic topics.
