Music trivia in Nice
Music trivia in Nice: a three-round quiz in a vaulted cellar, with prizes to win
At Les Folies d'Edmonde, music trivia (the French "blind test") is a team quiz, played to win but never too seriously: the DJ plays track after track, and it's up to you to name the song or the artist. Tourists and regulars mix, the level rises fast, and every round you win earns your team a prize. It runs every week, on Monday or Tuesday night, in the vaulted cellar of Old Nice.
How the music trivia night works
The night is played over three rounds. The first puts everyone on an equal footing; the next two raise the difficulty around themes announced on the spot.
Round 2 — first theme
The DJ announces a theme that holds for the whole round. The tracks get trickier, and the seasoned teams start to pull ahead.
Round 3 — second theme
A new theme and the home stretch. It is often the round that decides the final ranking and the last prizes of the night.
Themes revealed as the night goes on
Rounds 2 and 3 are built around themes revealed on the spot. A few that have already come up at Les Folies:
Jazz
Rock
The 2000s
The 80s
Songs by bald artists
Artists starting with B
Three-word artist name
Two-word artist name
Title with the word 'love'
Prizes for every round you win
Ludo hosts the music trivia night and picks the tracks. He knows how to read a room, alternating the crowd-pleasers everyone sings along to with the traps that separate the leading teams.
Pride is not the only thing at stake: the team that wins a round receives a prize or a little surprise from Les Folies. Three rounds means three chances to win, and a room that comes alive with every result.
