Parties in clubs and gatherings in bars are no longer fashionable. Nowadays, intellectual games are in trend. Young people go to cafes to puzzle over clever riddles in the company of friends. Let's see what these games are and where you can play them.
60 seconds
A team quiz reminiscent of the famous TV game “What? Where? When?" Riddles require from players not so much erudition as developed logical thinking, intelligence, and sometimes a sense of humor. The team is given 60 seconds to respond. If a person does not have a team, the organizers promise to find him playing partners. Here is an example of a question: “In Lithuanian, March is called “kovas”. Lithuanians also use the word “kovas” to call them. Name a famous picture whose characters are more than thirty THEM.” Shall we guess in the comments?
In Moscow, games for beginners are held on Tuesdays at Bar Disco90 and on Sundays at Jean-Jacques. In addition, similar games are held in 60 cities of Russia.
Mozgva
“Mozgva” is a bar-Olympiad that takes place several times a week at the “Minkult” restaurant. Participants have to guess riddles from a variety of areas: from ancient history to science fiction comics. The answers may not only surprise you, but also make you laugh. Thanks to the witty hosts, the game turns into a fun interactive show. And her motto is: “Being smart is fun.” By the way, the winners of the games receive not only honor and respect, but also valuable prizes.
PIR (Space of Intellectual Entertainment)
There are a huge number of bar quiz games held in Moscow. PIR is different in that in addition to the question-and-answer format, players will have to complete other tasks. For example, improve the art of pantomime, guess words and puzzles, test your intuition in the spirit of the game “Believe it or not.”
Quiz Time
This game has a funny slogan: “Smart is the new Sexy.” That is, if earlier we said that sport is the new sexuality, now the mind is in fashion. I would like to believe that this is really so.
The questions here are mostly about erudition, not logic. The organization of the game is very technological: players are given remote controls with which they choose an answer. The faster you answer, the better your result. This feature of the game adds drive and adrenaline. Winners receive alcoholic prizes so they can immediately celebrate their victory.

In Article 121 of the Constitution of the USSR of 1936, the right was supplemented by an obligation of the state.
