> [@SCAdian](#): > > IQ1: Were you a mouse who represented a pizza chain? Yes, I am Chuck E. [SIZE=“7”]Cheese![/SIZE] Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza Time Theatre in San Jose, California, was the first location to open in 1977. The concept was authored by Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell, credited with bringing video games such as Pong to the mainstream. Pizza Time Theatre was the first family restaurant to integrate food, animated entertainment, and an indoor arcade. The chain merged with competitor Showbiz Pizza Place in 1984, forming Showbiz Pizza Time, Inc. In the early 1990s, the company unified the two brands renaming every location to Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza. Congrats **SCAdian**! ---

Stone and preceded Earl Warren as Chief Justice of the United States. Did a famous but terrible person have a painting of you hanging in his office? - Adolf Hitler had a picture of Frederick the Great in his _Fuhrerbunker_ office. Another Fred x3! DQs: American? Best known for the arts? One DQ reserved. IQs: Were you a Jedi knight with a three-letter first name? Did they have to dig up the floor to make a movie about you? Did Churchill make a three-word joke of your name? ---
