Its inaugural event being in 2012, its attendance has grown to the point where it has exceeded 150 teams and 1,200 players, making it the largest live (In this sense, "live" means people answering the same questions, read live in the same forum, as opposed to radio contests.) and charity-run trivia fundraiser in all of North America. The questions are prepared by Windsor lawyer, Jack Ramieri, being a former contestant on "Jeopardy" and CBC's team quiz show, "Test the Nation", as well as a champion on CTV and History Television's quiz show, "TimeChase".
