Ok guys, that’s it for this week. Hope you all have a great weekend and fingers crossed it’s a hot one!

Hi there,

We are ‘MONGOL MADNESS’ and we’re soon to embark on a 20,000km journey from London to Mongolia in nothing more than a tiny 1 litre Suzuki Alto.

That’s right, this slightly ridiculous journey crossing a multitude of countries that most people haven’t heard of, let alone want to set foot in is all in the aid of charity!

Starting from London on the 24th July 2010 we plan to arrive in Ulaan Baatar on the 22nd August while raising money for a great charity called; Christina Noble Children’s Foundation Limited. (www.cncf.org)

3 guys, piloting 1000cc’s of raw power will cross 20 odd countries, the likes of which include Iran, Russia, Uzbekistan, and Borat’s famous homeland, Kazakhstan. If that’s not enough there are 3 deserts and 5 mountain ranges trying to stop us from reaching the finish line in what most grannies would use to go to the shop and back!

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the team at Triviala for giving us a substantial contribution towards our trip and charity. It has really made our job easier by getting behind us and our charity. We hope to send through the few updates and photos along the way to share our experiences.

If you’d also like to support the Christina Noble Children’s Foundation please visit this site to donate. http://www.justgiving.com/Scott-O-Donnell

We hope all of you will keep popping back to follow our progress on what I’m sure will be a mishap fuelled adventure.

Below are a few pics of us getting the car ready for launch this Saturday.

Thanks,
Scott, Ben and Jason

Now on 19th June, while you lazy lot were playing on Triviala be it new game FaceOff or just racking up more and more knowledge from our whole heap of UGC quizzes, one of the Triviala team Jennifer Fourie took part in the Sumorun in London’s Battersea Park to raise money for the fantastic charity Gemin-i.

Yep, you heard right, the Sumorun! The basic premise was run around the park (whic works out about 5km/3 miles) in a fabulous inflatable sumo suit! Sounds fun right?! It happens annually and the park looks after the Japanese Peace Padgoda so a picturesque setting if there ever was one.

Triviala were proud sponsors of the event too and so here’s a little look at how our very own Jennifer got on…

Jennifer managed to run the course with much success, finishing only 9 minutes after the leader AND to top it all off she was part of setting a new world record for the most number of sumo runners….so even history was made!

We’d like to say a big congrats to Jennifer and to all who took part as it was for such a great cause. We were proud sponsors and hope we’ve encouraged you all to maybe take part in next years Sumorun. (And better yet, you get to keep the outfit!)

Over here at Triviala HQ, our talents are endless. Not only are we the largest online trivia website in the UK, where users can make their own quizzes, play against friends in trivia tournaments, play word, puzzle and trivia games AND win HUGE cash prizes….we also can tuck under our belt hosts of the first ever Triviala Quiz Night.

A few weeks backs we got involved with the IAA (International Advertising Association) with our very own Wade McElwain hosting the funnest night in town, a live and interactive Triviala Quiz Night. With games such as Celebrity Mug Shots, Guess the Song Music Mash and even a large and live version of our newest game Face Off it was a great success, with teams fighting it out to become the Triviala Quiz champions. So a big shout out to the winners…. CNN!!

Check out the FANTASTIC video below to see how the night unravelled:
