QUIZ RECAP

The VIBE:

Rowdy. Sporty. Beanery.

I was damn excited to step foot into this venue...mostly because it is one of my neighborhood bars (so, yes I could start walking here)...but also because I knew this crowd would be tons o' fun. And they were!

The GAME:

Round 1 started the game pretty strong with most teams scoring 5 or 6 points right off the bat.

Round 2/Pictures seemed to be the easiest by far - with only 4 teams NOT receiving a perfect 16. Not to mention, things started to really heat up when we got to see her....

Round 3 pissed a bunch of teams off who all guessed "peas" instead of "corn". Wait what? Exactly.

Once we got to the 4 point clue, that's when most of the crowd realized Round 4/Guess Who? was referring to Santa Monica's own, Jack Black.

I brought out my signature shoot-out game for The Drinking Round...and this place went nuts. Such great energy. We had to take it to a play-off round 3 times before we declared a winner. Way to go, dude who won!

Round 5/Find the Connection was the big turning point for Beanz In the Trap and Gangway for Footcycle! who both doubled-up and started going after that mega $100 first place trophy aka gift card...

I wanted to surprise the girl from It's My Birthday...since it was her birthday....so I had the crowd sing. My god were they awful. I mean, barely above listenable. It was so bad I apologized on their behalf.

In Round 6/Matching, we learned that a cockatrice is a serpent with a rooster head.

And in Round 7, we learned that Kansas, Wyoming, and Montana are not trying to be know for their farms.

The RESULTS:

Normally here, I will break down every team and discuss how they finished, what they ate for dinner, and sometimes their middle pet's favorite licorice flavor. Sometimes.

But today I will make you shift your eyes to that giant list below and just read them please....because....I want to share with you a brief incident....

Four teams were registered through King Trivia. But only ONE didn't tell me. And OF COURSE that team was really good....and OF COURSE they finished 2 points behind the #1 team. Sooooo, after retrieving the $100 gift card back from the previous winners, I HAD TO DO AN OVERLY DRAMATIC TIE-BREAKER!!

Ok. You can go see who won now.
