Everything You Need to Know About DCL100 Trivia Events

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.

Upcoming Trivia Nights

Mark your calendar for these upcoming “Lake” trivia dates:

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!
