QUIZ RECAP

The winds were blowing and several drops of water (aka an LA downpour) splattered the barrel-shaped roof as a tournament of champions opened upon the trivial field of battle. With delicious food and satisfying libations flying around the room, it was the perfect atmosphere for a truly epic game of King Trivia!

18 teams arrived eager to continue the spooky season with some free candy (courtesy of this QM) and some challenging questions. Fortunately, we had both in spades. 

Round One of course led to a massive 7-way tie, but our teams weren’t discouraged. It proved that these folks were ready to risk big to win big. But would that foolhardy nature serve them well…or bring their ruin?

Round Two was all about the much beloved 2010 video for “We Are The World.” You know the one. Two teams managed to leap ahead of the competition: Camp Mohawk and Cabot Cove’s Ghost!

Round Three saw Camp Mohawk shoot into first place, leaving the other teams scrambling a few points behind. While they were able to hold this lead after Round Four, Cabot Cove’s Ghost and Algorithm and Blues collided in a tie at second place. It was heading toward a powerful brawl  for the top spots!

For our Drinking Round, we asked the teams for advice on what costume this QM should wear. While there were AMAZING suggestions, we are nothing if not a sucker for wordplay, which is why we award Algorithm and Blues for their suggestion of Norma Jean Val Jean!

Round Five forced our teams to think about their childhood, all the way back to the first books they might have read. Campy Mohawk maintained position while Cabot Cove rose a few points ahead. With little time left, could anyone unseat these champions?

Round Six was all about the heroes and villains of comic book movies, which should have been a snap! With some impressive doubles, we saw the scores…not change at all, as everyone moved up together. It would all come down to the final few questions. 

Round Seven was all about rap artists and telecommunications…totally normal stuff, you know. It pushed our champions to the limit of their trivia knowledge.

After a nail-biting tie-breaker, we crowned our winners for the evening: Camp Mohawk, Algorithm and Blues, and Cabot Cove’s Ghost!
