The Minna no Anime trivia contest runs every Halloween Party, currently using Kian Gruszczynski's trivia software, Underwood, and Andrew Lee's controller system. Questions run the gamut from simple to obscure, simply geeky to rather perverted. The questions are created by officers and occasionally members, and they are sorted into themes.
History
Very long ago, anime trivia was made possible by Ben Leinweber's home-made controller system. At some point, a program created by Nur Monson became the de-facto version used at Halloween Party, with a few members trying to create a cross-platform version in recent years (with mixed results). This still has not come to fruition, but the buttons have been replaced twice: by Jesse Tyler in 2010-2011 and by Andrew Lee in 2011-2012.
- The old app can be found here: Questionable
An updated version of the program was created by Kian Gruszczynski and used for the 2018 Halloween party and beyond. While this version is still not cross-platform, it does allow media such as images, sound and videos to be used alongside the timer.
- This has created much entertainment, as seen in categories such as impact frames identification, name the OP, and identify the cowlick.
