Team & Registration FAQ
Don’t worry! You can register as an individual and either choose to participate solo OR we can group you with 2 to 3 other trivia enthusiasts at the venue! We recommend the latter as team participation gives you the opportunity to collaborate with your fellow peers and hopefully make some new friends!
No problem! This year, everyone will purchase individual tickets through Meow Wolf and teams will be assembled at the event. Teams can have up to 4 participants.
We’ll kindly ask you to divide into two teams.
You can be an Individual Team Sponsor for just $150! This allows us to invite volunteers, other nonprofit groups, and interns to participate in the fun. Thank you for your support of global engagement in the Mile High City! Simply submit your donation here and indicate “GCC Team Sponsor” in the notes.
