Why combine Trivia and Dodgeball?
The joy of play is that dodging and trivia require entirely different parts of the brain.
The challenge is unique, addictive, and supremely fun.
“The ultimate combination of trivia and athletics. I’m surprised it’s not illegal in some states.”
— Brad Rutter, all-time money winner on Jeopardy!
The balls used in Kno’dgeball will be of a soft variety intended to diminish, but possibly not eliminate, the chance of injury. Players may clothe themselves in any desired head, eye, or body protection that they wish.
You must complete a waiver to participate

Created in 2012 by 14-time Jeopardy! contestant and TV writer Bob Harris (CSI:, Bones), Paul Bailey, founder of the Trivia Championships of North America (TCONA) and Game Show Boot Camp (GSBC), and director Jason Perlman, whose work has amassed over 20 million YouTube views. Joining the team in 2015, Bob Boden is an EMMY-nominated Media Professional in Production, Development and Consulting on Reality, Game Show, Non-Scripted entertainment projects.
To create a form suitable for live events, run-thrus were held at TCONA, in various L.A. parks, at Universities, tweaking the number of players and balls, court size, sequence of questions and ball play, etc. Multiple versions work well — combining trivia and dodgeball is just fun— so our first priority became maximizing the number of players who could take part and enjoy a live event, with an eye on evolving into a form suitable for a broadcast or webcast series.
