Think you know Deep Creek Lake? Time to prove it.
As part of the Deep Creek Lake Centennial celebration, DCL100 Trivia Nights at Ace’s Run are bringing fun, facts, and a little friendly competition to your Thursday evenings. Whether you’re a history buff, a longtime local, or just in it for the good food and good times, this event is for you — and it’s completely free to play.
We had a great time at the first session and we did not come close to winning!
How It Works
Step 1: Head Inside
Walk into Ace’s Run Restaurant & Pub and go to the host podium near the front (through the bar). The game takes place in the dining room.
Step 2: Sign Up Your Team
Give the host your team name (the more creative, the better). You’ll receive a small packet with an answer sheet, small answer coupons, and some basic instructions.
Step 3: Grab a Seat and Get Ready
Order a drink or some food, settle in, and get ready to test your Deep Creek Lake knowledge across three lively rounds of trivia.
Game Format
-
Three Rounds of questions, each with a different theme.
-
For each question, your team wagers 1 to 4 points — but each point value can only be used once per round.
-
Fill out your answer sheet and drop it into the answer bucket at the end of each round.
Final Question Twist:
After three rounds, there’s one last question — and it can completely change the outcome. Wager wisely. This one keeps it exciting until the very end.

Why You Should Attend
DCL100 Trivia at Ace’s Run is a free and fun way to spend the evening with friends, family, or co-workers—complete with great food and drinks, a chance to learn about Deep Creek Lake’s 100-year history, and the thrill of friendly competition with prizes and bragging rights on the line. I learned a thing or two about the area, too!
Bonus: When is the Birthday Bash event scheduled this year? It is estimated to be very near the exact date of the 100th anniversary of the lake!
