QUIZ RECAP
A brisk and bracing night out here in NoHo as the classiest folk in all the land gathered for good food, good fun…and GREAT TRIVIA! That’s right, folks, you just can’t keep a king down, and we’ve arrived with more of the best quizness in Cali.
26 teams joined us in the barrel-shaped ballroom for an evening of laughs, tears, and massive prizes.
Round One was an easy warmup for our veteran teams, leading to a large tie at the top (and a surprisingly large group of perfect scores…WITHOUT doubles)!
Round Two was a game changer for teams with a memory for faces. 720 of Emotions launched out of the gate with a strong double and took the lead!
Round Three was a fantastic mashup of tasty treats and wrasslin’ feats. 720 managed to hold their lead, but Diana Spencer’s Gifts and Here for the Host locked into a tight race for second.
Round Four was a fantastic chance to shine for fans of Westside Story. DSG jumped into first, followed by Here for the Host only a few points behind.
In our Drinking Round, we asked our guests to get fancy with it and honor National Classy Day! Their magic phrase? “I have to leave the party, I have pooped by pants.” Wibbly Wombats locked in a great win by doing the classiest thing of all: lying through their teeth to avoid revealing the nasty truth.
Round Five brought back fond memories of a childhood hero, giving Quiz Kid Donnie Smith a chance to sneak ahead of the completion and take first!
Round Six was far more challenging than many anticipated…but not for Geralt of Triviera! With an amazing double (and guessing on two questions no less) they jumped into the top spot with only one round to go.
Our final round was an opportunity to close for all our teams that enjoyed a good road trip…or futball. Yet it was one team that took the chance to not only close the distance…but to take the whole enchilada.
As the evening rolled to a close, we crowned our winner. Emergency Food: Emerge and See Food, Geralt of Triviera, and Quiz Kid Donnie Smith.
Join us every Tuesday for more trivia action.
