If only there was a way to share these utterly amazing facts with millions of people. Fortunately for us, there is, and it’s called the “Today I Learned” subreddit.
It’s a place where all-knowing people gather to share their unlimited wisdom. From fake diseases to tombs for dogs, these facts really enrich the brain. So scroll down to find the collection of the best ones about everything and anything. Perhaps they’ll even inspire some fun trivia for your next dinner party with friends.
We also reached out to online quiz host Brie Zulkiewicz and Brianna Liestman brand engagement director behind Trivia Mafia who kindly agreed to tell us about the importance of learning facts and let us in on the secrets to hosting a great game!

Think of it as a workout for your mind. It needs exercise to stay in its best shape. Quickly delivering niche facts is an effective way to exercise the brain’s frontal cortex, which is responsible for memory function. In return, your brain becomes sharper, and the information is retained more easily.
This game is as much about gaining new knowledge as it is about recalling old tidbits of information. It’s rare to know everything and get a perfect score, so naturally, there will be questions that leave participants baffled. Learning the correct answers keeps brain functions working. Additionally, studies have found a positive connection between intellectually engaging activities such as trivia and higher cognition.

Playing, especially winning, can release a rush of dopamine in the brain, making the person feel satisfied, excited, and even euphoric. Unlike gambling, this surge of feel-good chemicals from trivia doesn’t have any negative effects. Providing all the more reason to participate!

They firmly believe that such games help to be more sure of one’s intelligence. “I would say that trivia nights help increase a person’s confidence in their intellect. So many times, players will say “I’m no good at trivia,” but then they are the person on their team who came through with the one clutch answer that helped them win the game. So if you want to feel smarter, come to trivia!”

She sees trivia as a great way to look back on the information we already have in our brains. “Personally, I think participating in trivia helps boost memory and recall. I often receive messages from my players telling me facts and anecdotes that they were reminded of by one of my questions.

For instance, at a recent trivia night, I am the kind of person who is hopeless with sports knowledge. But because I knew just enough about major players in baseball and I knew the rules of the round, I was able to get the answer.”
They let us know that the second one is having a great host who is engaging and keeps people coming back week after week.
And the third is meeting the audience where they are. " Our games are typically 90-120 minutes, and our hosts have flexibility within that time frame to pace trivia appropriately. Some players and businesses want the host to move a little faster so people can close their tabs or get their kids to bed on a school night. Other places want a longer experience, where folks are really taking their time answering questions, eating and/or drinking, and enjoying a night out."

Intergenerational teams also do really well, because there are zeitgeist moments that will be obvious to them that won’t be as obvious to the person across the table. They can work together using their individual strengths."
