The Fall 2025 champignons: The Usual Suspects!!

Welcome to the
Canadian Inquisition Trivia League

A truly challenging face-to-face trivia experience, the Canadian Inquisition Trivia League is a league of teams who compete Monday nights at various Toronto pubs. The Inquisition League has been operating in Toronto for more than 30 years, and – post-pandemic – is rebooted, rebuilding and adding new teams. 

Canada’s most eclectic league – run by the players – the Inquisition League’s ranks have included journalists, techs, editors, students, academics, comics, musicians, authors and others looking to test their trivia knowledge and have a few laughs.

Winter 2025 Final round up

The sea was angry that day, my friends. But the Usual Suspects sailed to victory!

Not too often that the Jaworski Division team wins the finals but the Usual Suspects had control of the game all the way through. The Mods who came in having won 9 of the 10 regular season games came in a solid third!

On the other hand, each team had a high scorer, all with 5 deuces: 

  • Bob of the Mods
  • Marjorie of MI5, and
  • Mark of the Suspects

Also to Ralph of the Mods, who got 4 deuces while playing just 5 rounds in the latter half.

And finally, the Audience prize went to Smith and Guessin’.

Thank you Cellar Rats for a great season!

We grumble but we’re grateful!
