So…the Michigan based trivia company My Trivia Live is 20 years old as of September, 2026.
To that I say “Happy Anniversary, thanks for the entertainment – and prize money!”
Here are some random memories of our experiences with MTL over the past 10 years, and some accompanying photos:
I actually hit 20, yay! 😁 One for every year they’ve existed!
In no particular order:
