Teams are finalised, the quiz questions have been prepared .... we’re less than half an hour out from Cap-IM’s third STONY trivia quiz!

The quiz starts at 20:00 UTC (what time is that for me?). Everyone is welcome to come spectate and cheer teams on!

Join us in the #trivia-chat channel in our Cap-IM Challenges Discord.

Thank you all for voting on your preferred time and date! The time has come to announce when the Third Stony Trivia Quiz will be held, and open up sign-ups!

Now... Trivia Quiz Teams assemble! We're looking forward to seeing you on June 12!

Our second Cap-IM Stony Trivia Quiz was held on our Discord on October 10th 2020.

We had four fantastic teams: thank you to everyone for turning up to participate, make your guesses from the audience, and cheer teams on! We hope you had a wonderful time, and learnt at least one new trivia fact about Steve/Tony across the multiverse.

Now it's time to show off the prizes!

Finally, as we wrap up this event, we'd love to hear what you thought of the Stony Trivia Quiz! Please drop us a line in the #trivia-chat discord channel, by emailing cap.im.events@gmail.com, or commenting (anon is on!) at our Dreamwidth post here.

We were so glad to see people enjoying our first virtual trivia quiz, we're bringing it back for another round!



This will be an all-ages-welcome event held on the Cap-IM Challenges Discord! You can see the Quiz Rules here, but first we need to find a good time and date for our Stony-loving community.

We are aiming to host the quiz on the weekend of October 10/11. Please fill out this short survey by September 19 and let us know which time you'd prefer to have the quiz take place! Please note that you can vote even if you only intend to spectate — though we'd especially like to hear from you if you're thinking of taking part in the quiz itself. We will announce the final date and time after we have a look at all your answers.

Get ready to have some fun and test your Stony knowledge!

Send in Questions

The Stony Trivia Quiz needs you! We're looking to source some questions from the cap-im community for our quiz — any level of difficulty and canon is a go! Just make sure the questions are about Steve, Tony and/or Steve/Tony.

Please comment on this post if you have any suggestions - no DW account needed! Leave the question, answer, and a source that verifies the answer (a link, a comic scan etc.). All comments will be screened to keep the questions a secret.

We're looking forward to quizzing with you!

Teams of up to 5 people can compete: you can find the full guidelines here! Sign-ups close on May 15th.

The Quiz will be held on May 16, starting at 15:00 EDT (what time is that for me?)

The quiz will be held on our Cap-IM Challenges Discord. Everyone is welcome to come spectate and cheer teams on!

There's always at least two cap_ironman events happening, but sometimes we just want to have a fun and share our love of Steve/Tony with a group of likeminded fans...

… the Stony Trivia Quiz might be that event for you!


Here's what you need to know:

The trivia quiz will run similarly to an online pub quiz which will be hosted on Discord, so you do need an account (these are free to sign up for).

We'll have a dedicated channel where questions and answers for each round are posted, as well as the scoreboard. This channel will be "view-only", to keep the important stuff from being lost. We'll also have a channel for spectators and participants to chat throughout the quiz.

Event Guidelines

• Participants can be any age.


• Googling or otherwise looking up the answers is not permitted.


• There must be at least 3 teams signed up for the quiz to be held.


• Teams can have 2-5 members. They cannot "call a friend" during the quiz, and audience members are not permitted to give hints.


• Teams must submit team name, rosters and the team leader to the event mod team by emailing cap.im.events@gmail.com up to 1 day before the event in order to sign up. The Team Leader will be the person that conveys all quiz answers and team actions to the Judge.


• Teams can choose how to set up communication between themselves — we suggest a group Discord DM chat, and also/or a Google doc that is shared by all team members

How the Quiz Runs

• Roll call! Don't forget to wake your teammates up


• We will have a "test" question at the start of the quiz so that teams can confirm that their set-up works!


• Stage 1 of the quiz consists of 5 rounds of 4 questions, each worth 1 point.


• Quiz questions for a round will be posted at the 30 second intervals.


• After the final question of the round, the teams will have 1 minute to debate and rethink their questions. The Team Leader must hand hand in the round's answers before this time is up.


• Team Leaders will need to hand in their answers in one post for each round, with their team name at the top.
• They will do this by DMing the Judge, and must keep their answers private until the answers for that round are posted.
• Teams may not edit their DM — doing so means they forfeit all the points from that round.


• After all answers have been handed in, the official answers will be posted publicly by the Host, and everyone can discuss answers and chat for 3 minutes while the Judge totals up points.


• There will be a 5-minute interval between Stage 1 and Stage 2.


• The two highest-scoring teams in Stage 1 will play against each other in Stage 2; one round of 10 difficult questions, each worth 1 point. The winner of Stage 1 will begin with 1 point as an advantage, 2nd place will begin with zero points at the start of the round. If there is a tie between the two highest-scoring teams, no extra points will be awarded.


• At the end of Stage 2, if there is a tie, the teams will proceed to the sudden death stage.


• Teams have up to three appeals per round regarding answers. The Judge's decision is the final word regarding answers.


• The event will be run on the Cap-IM challenges server and is subject to the rules of the server and community. It will be hosted in the all-ages section of the server.


• The winner of the quiz will be the top-scoring team in Stage 2 of the quiz.
