FARGO, N.D.—Trivia fans, get ready for an exciting new addition to the local scene. The Initials Game Live, a fresh twist on the bar trivia trend, is coming to Fargo. This innovative game, created by Twin Cities sports radio host Cory Cove in 2014 for KFAN’s “Power Trip Morning Show,” has grown massively popular, with tens of thousands of listeners tuning in every Friday morning.
In 2020, a play-at-home version of The Initials Game was released following a successful Kickstarter campaign. Now, Trivia Mafia, the Midwest’s largest producer of live trivia events, is bringing The Initials Game Live to bars and taprooms near you. Cory Cove is thrilled about this expansion, saying, “This is going to give fans who listen every Friday morning a chance to feel what it’s like to get in there and compete against other really good Initials players.”
The Initials Game Live challenges players’ knowledge across a wide range of subjects—from pop culture to geography—and rewards them with prizes, often free beer. Unlike typical bar trivia, this game emphasizes speed and quick thinking. Players are given a two-letter set of initials and six clues to steer them toward the correct answer.

Chuck Terhark, co-founder and co-owner of Trivia Mafia, is excited about the game’s potential. “This is an awesome opportunity to give our trivia fans a fun new game to play. Bar trivia players will love it, and fans of the original Initials Game on the radio are going to love it too,” he said.
The Initials Game Live debuted in Minneapolis at Falling Knife Brewing Co. on August 1, and has since been added to over 20 venues’ weekly calendars. In Fargo, the game will be hosted weekly at Bulldog Tap on Tuesdays at 7 PM, starting November 12.
