QUIZ RECAP
It's getting close to Halloween and all the ghosts and ghouls are out for blood! By which, of course, I mean it was time for some incredible trivia action. 17 teams joined the fray for the quizness that brings the business, King Trivia!
We opened with a salvo of perfection, with several teams crushing their first six question in great 6 out of 6...however only two opted for the double down: Pumkin Spice Hattés and Libra Moon. With a few teams going green with jealousy, it was time for the battle of the Jacks.
This picture round was extra special, with a cheeseburger mixed in amongst the starring players of pop culture. When the answers fell and the scores exploded, it looked like PSH had just cemented an insurmountable lead.
Round after round, Pumpkin lead the pack with incredible scores. Second and Third place swapped constantly, with with Raystar, Libra, Queerest Kittens, and Come Pet Our Dogs slipping in and out of the leaderboard. Who knew what would happen next?
Our drink round took a bit of movie trivia and combined it with math as we asked our teams to determine the box office gross for Aracnaphobia (1990)...adjusted for inflation. The closest team sadly went over by a few million dollars, and we play by Price is Right rules, so the free shots went to Raystar Woyco, and it seemed to be just the boost they needed.
Over the next few rounds, the leaderboard became a battleground for every single team. Doubles flew like trash in a windstorm, and by Round 7 it was anyone's guess who would take the top prize. Fortune favored the bold...and we had one team that refused to give up.
CHICKEN NUGGETS had started the game with a decent score, but couldn't seem to put the pieces together for a true rise. Then, from Rounds Five through Seven, they delivered a showstopping performance that shot them straight up to the top.
When the dust settled, we had CHICKEN NUGGETS as a clear winner, followed by Raystar Woyco and Pumpkin Spice Hattés. An amazing finish.
Come join us at Idle Hour every Tuesday night for some incredible trivia action!
