QUIZ RECAP

Happy Fat Tuesday, peasants of the trivia kingdom! The crowds were out in force for some brilliant revelry, but they didn’t want colorful cakes or fancy beads. They wanted KING TRIVIA!

28 teams assembled in our NoHo paradise to battle in the most sophisticated of ways: With cold beers, delicious burgers, and a near-manic host. 

Round One was an easy warm-up, allowing some newbie teams to flex their creative muscles. We of course ended with a massive ten-way tie, but this wasn’t bound to be a normal day at the racetrack. 

Round Two was a boon for followers of that shady foot-based website, as we asked our teams to analyze pictures of famous feet (in shoes, calm down). Quiz Kid Donnie Smith jumped into an early lead, followed closely by Murder Hornets.

Round Three was filled with sax and violins, but no change to our top spots. Third place, however, whittled down to just two: Sugundies and Move Over Jay-Z, it’s Gay-Z.

Round Four again didn’t move the needle much, but Sugundies was able to secure the third spot all alone. Perhaps a nice drinking round and some fancy beads could give this show the shake up it craved.

Our Drinking Round had our teams showing off their best costumes, masks, and bead pics (SFW only). Girls Trip absolutely crushed the competition by dressing up AS the AMC Burbank and Nicole Kidman. Heartbreak truly felt good in a place like this.

We also awarded our final QM Valentine to Heat Lamp for what has to be the saddest Valentine’s Day story we’ve ever heard. It’s the sort of thing a country music star would write a hit song about. The music video would feature keyed cars and probably an exploded RV.

Round Five was a real shock as Downtown Sasquatch snatched the lead away from Quiz Kid, followed by Curse the Gods and Montana in a tied second.

Round Six was another shocker as Curse the Gods and Montana took first place with a tie. Who would finally win the lead!

Round Seven asked the most important question of all: in an age of streaming EVERYTHING, who’s still going to libraries? (The answer? Smart people. Go support your local library). 

We finally crowned our winners after a photo finish. Montana, Curse the Gods, and Bean Bag!
