How it works

  1. Grab a table

    Come with your team or join one at the door. Six to eight people per table.

  2. Play three rounds

    Name the quote, spot the true story, then race through rapid-fire blanks.

  3. Win for your table

    One leaderboard runs all night. The top table takes the grand prize.

The rounds

Every question comes from the year in e-commerce news. Here is a taste of each round.

Who's Brent This Time?

Scott reads a real quote from the year in e-commerce news. Your table names who said it.

Sample quote

Purchases by its AI agent are "considered transactions authorized by you." Which retailer wrote that into its terms?

Bluff the Listener

Three people from the audience read three strange stories. One is true. Your table votes.

Sample theme

"My AI agent did WHAT?" Three shopping-agent disasters, two of them invented.

Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank

Your table rep gets 45 seconds of rapid-fire blanks. Miss one and the room can steal it.

Sample blank

In 2026, Amazon moved Prime Day from July to ____.

Your hosts

Scott Ohsman

Host of Always Off Brand

Asks the questions and keeps score.

Brent Peterson

Host of Talk Commerce

Color commentary on every answer, right or wrong.
