Can someone please explain Salty Trivia to me.

What makes it salty? I love trivia on cruise ships usually. How is this different than trivia on other lines?

Language, topics

Also, the prizes are much better. Rather than cheap "stuff", usually you get a free drink.

We won once and they said "any drink" so the whole team got a glass of Moet, which for a team of 6 was essentially the whole bottle. Curious if they define that a little better now.

Was this the one where each team gets a bucket, and for each right answer the happenings member dumps some seashells in, and whatever team has filled it up the most at the end, wins?

It's trivia that's not as bland and boring as other ship's trivia

No that’s Risky Quizness that has the gameshow format. Salty uses paper and pens.

Just a round of drinks for the team

No, and not an "I'm a Winner" medal either.....just the drink of your choice (in case you don't already have a large bar tab!)

The Virgin website describes it this way:

The Gamer compiles the best of pop culture, history, current events and beyond in a multi-round trivia event that he’s uniquely created. Each team will have a booklet to fill out for each round of 10 questions. But this isn’t your average trivia game—the highly curated, weirdly specific genres cater to the weird, the wacky and the nerdy among us—expanding beyond generations and giving you the freshest, funniest brain-twisters you can find on the open ocean (or anywhere, for that matter).

Here's a comment I read on Reddit:

Salty Trivia is probably most similar to the traditional ones you will find on other cruises, while Risky Quizness is quite different and raucous! Both are fun!
