ECCC Project

Considering a Viral Video thing for this year's Emerald City Comic Con. I want to take a video camera and ask girls who are wearing costumes some trivia questions about the character that they are dressed up as, give them prizes based on how well they know who they're supposed to be.

My guess is that the sluttier the costume, the funnier the fail; especially when contrasted with the girls who are in meticulously researched and accurate costumes :)

I'll need sponsors, and I'll need experts who can provide questions on a myriad of potential characters from sci-fi, fantasy and comic books...

Glad to have you on board! It's a bit different than that...

I was thinking of either three or 5 questions per person, actual trivia. For instance, let's say that we approach a lady in a Harley Quinn costume.

ME: Hi there! You're dressed as Harley Quinn! Great costume... would you like to try and win a few prizes?

HARLEY: Sure *tee hee*!

ME: Okay, great! (spiel about our "organization", the prize that the person is playing for, rules of the game) All you have to do in order to win our wonderful prize is to answer THREE QUESTIONS about a subject you should be pretty familiar with, HARLEY QUINN! Are you psyched? Are you ready? Great, let's go! Question one: (softball question like "Who does Harley Quinn refer to as her 'Puddin'?). No help from the audience, please! Okay, correct! Question two! (Another softball with general knowledge-type stuff like "What cartoon series did Harley Quinn make her debut on?") Correct! Okay, now here it is, third and final question... The roll of Harley Quinn was played by actress Mia Sara on the short-lived live-action WB series "Birds Of Prey"... what other roll is actress Mia Sara better known for? GO! 10 SECONDS!"

(We then award her a "Consolation Prize" for having played nicely. Of course not every final question will be an impossible bit of knowledge but the game will be designed to reward somebody who knows their character rather than just being an exhibitionist )

That sounds even better!
