Compete in this year’s Entomology Games in Salt Lake City!
The Entomology Games have been a tradition since 1982. Be part of the tradition by joining us in this fun-filled, competitive entomological trivia game. Each ESA branch hosts a student competition with the top two teams from each branch receiving travel awards towards attending the annual national meeting for a final competition.
At the Pacific Branch, we do our preliminary rounds differently to encourage more students to participate. We will have a pub trivia style preliminary round on March 30th (Sunday) at 4:30 PM. Teams do not need to be organized or registered before this event. They can be generated spontaneously by any combination of up to four conference-goers. Everyone can compete in the preliminary round, but only student teams are eligible for advancement to the final round. The final round will be March 31st at 8PM, which follows the rules and style of the national meeting’s Entomology Games (rules will be explained before the games). Come have fun and test your entomology knowledge.
Contribute trivia questions
Anyone can help by contributing your favorite entomology questions. We need a range of difficulties. Good question submissions are simple, close-ended questions, and include a citation to help our fact-checkers. Email questions to Dowen Jocson.
