ScrewQuizzo, a collaborative effort between the musical group Agent Moosehead and Plug and Play Events combines the excitement of in-person video game competitions (featuring Nintendo, Atari, Wii, and more), with the entertainment of a live musical event – in the form of a ‘themed’ set of video game music provided by Agent Moosehead.

These events are advertised as a refreshing alternative to typical bar events like “Quizzo” (screw it!) and can be provided at a variety of venues, locations, parties, etc.

The group is hyping their upcoming ‘video game’ themed events!  the first official event will be on Thursday, July 8, 2010 at The Note in West Chester, Pennsylvania and will feature games from Nintendo (including: Super Mario 3, Tetris, Duck Hunt, Excitebike, and more). Attendees can win some prizes and listen to some Japanese music – re-arranged and performed by Agent Moosehead.  Tickets are three dollars in advance, five at the door.
