There were parodic campaigns for US President during the 1976, 1980, 1984 and 1988 elections with “X” as the candidate originally nominated by Wavy Gravy (real name: Hugh Romney Jr.) who first became famous as the MC of the Woodstock Music Festival in 1969. The organizers of the campaign even staged a ticker-tape parade down a boulevard in Berkeley, California, with motorcycle police flanking a convertible limousine occupied by X. The campaign's slogans included "Because X is in Washington right now working for you," "X is perfect," and "X should have too much power." Name X, the parodic character! (Hint: 6 letter word).

Community Spirit
We create meaningful experiences that bring communities together. Our mind-enriching and entertaining events promote social connection, life-long learning and wellbeing. We tailor our engagement to resonate with specific communities and bring people together through shared experiences.
Our Approach
Our approach is fundamentally driven by two aspects
Encourage broader participation
“Quizzes/games are not for me—I’m not that smart”. We hear this often!
That is why our approach is different. We construct challenges that allow the audience to connect the dots and solve, minimizing their reliance on memory. Our goal is to level the playing field. We believe that everyone is capable!
Add value to the participants and other stakeholders
“This is trivia that I do not have time for” is another common reaction!
That's why our approach is about understanding the context and tailoring the engagement. We use fit-for-purpose formats. Our goal: create impact through engaging & entertaining means of knowledge sharing!
