Questions, scoring and all official disputes.
● BRAINWAVE @ THE BORED MEETINGS
✦ SAT 22 AUG · 3:00 PM · NAUTILUS BEACH
A seaside pub quiz for brains with beach mode on.
Four rounds. Strategic snack breaks. Deeply unnecessary confidence. A small seaside afternoon made by the Somabay community, for the Somabay community—hosted by our friends at The Bored Meetings.
▶ THE FORMAT
Four rounds.
One clever afternoon.
We’ve got 2.5 hours from first question to final outrage, with proper breaks for food, refills and meeting whoever your friends brought along.
▶ COME AS YOU ARE
Bring your team.
Or we’ll build you one.
Teams play in groups of four or five. Come with old friends or come on your own—we’ll make the introductions, and you may leave with new ones.
Coming together? One captain signs up the full team and adds every player’s name.
Coming solo? We’ll handle the introductions and place you with a team.
▶ THE SHARED POT
What we’re pooling
1,500 EGP for.
Everyone chips in 1,500 EGP so we can set up the quiz, keep the ice and snacks coming, and have the beach looked after.
Thinking is hungry work. Snacks are in.
Loaded before play and topped up as needed.
Real glasses. The civilised way to guess.
Opening, pouring, clearing and keeping things cold.
Positioned before the first question.
Bottles welcome, no corkage, no eyebrow.
Infinite in spirit. Valid until somebody wins the next one.
▶ THE ONLY PRIZE THAT MATTERS
Win the quiz.
Own the group chat.
First place leaves with bragging rights loud enough to cross the bay. Retell the final-round comeback often, correct your friends freely, and sign every message “Brainwave champions” until the next quiz.

Nautilus Beach in Somabay. We start at 3:00 PM.

Your smartest friends—or just yourself—plus whatever bottles you fancy. Confidence is optional but entertaining.
