2026 Einstein Bowl

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, CNP proudly brings to you the 2026 Trivia Tournament which has come back to Central PA!!!

Thanks to a larger venue, there will be no regional tournaments or qualifying period this year. Every registered team will advance directly to the 2026 Einstein Bowl!

We want the entire CNP Trivia universe involved. Whether your team plays general trivia every week, visits different venues, comes out for themed games, plays every other week, mixes in some Music Bingo, or simply takes an occasional break, this tournament is for you.

Your venue, schedule, and weekly attendance do not affect your eligibility. No scores will be tracked and there is no minimum number of games you need to play. Just register your team and join us for the biggest CNP Trivia event of the year!

Teams may have up to 8 players. Registration is $40 per team and will remain open through Wednesday, September 16th or until all 60 team spots have been filled.

The winning team will be added to the new Einstein Bowl Trophy and cash prizes will be awarded!

Cash prizes will be awarded at the Einstein Bowl!

EINSTEIN BOWL BUFFET

We’re excited to be able to host this year’s Einstein Bowl in a much larger space at the Sheraton Harrisburg Hershey Hotel!

One of the things that helps make an event and venue like this possible is participation in the buffet being offered by the hotel. If you’re planning to eat at the tournament, we strongly encourage you to purchase your buffet tickets in advance. It helps us tremendously as we continue to grow the Einstein Bowl and work with venues capable of accommodating the entire CNP Trivia community.

Team captains are welcome to purchase tickets for their entire team in one transaction.
