King Trivia is a lot like the post office. Whether rain or shine, the show must go on. With Los Angeles getting all of its weather for the year out in one go, we threw up some umbrellas and got to work on the greatest game in the land.
22 teams arrived in our barrel-shaped paradise for amazing food and better trivia with a QM that brings just as much energy as he does free candy. There’s only one way to find a winner, and that’s to play, so we got right down to quizness.
Round One wasn’t too much of a stumper, but with a gang of mostly new teams there wren’t many willing to risk everything with a double. Ghosted by the Hostess, Here for Host, and Emergency Food: Carrot Cake of Sadness tied in first.
Round Two really highlighted the quality disparity between the first and second Jurassic trilogies. Emergency Food certainly found a way to leap into first place and prepare for, what would become, a perfect sweep.
Round Three became the beginning of a race for second and third, with Here for the Host claiming silver and Ghosted in bronze.
Round Four shifted the lineup a bit as Breakfast All Day shot into third behind Here for the Host, but the scores were neck and neck all the way down to 12th place.
Our Drinking Round honored National Fragrance Day as we asked our teams to determine the best and worst smells in the world. With a narrow victory, Bribed the Host (in name only) took the free shots!
Round Five was a theater nerd’s dream, and one team came to play. In fact, Emergency Food was the ONLY team to figure out the connection, giving them a clear lead heading into the finals.
Round Six saw Breakfast knock Here for the Host out of the leaderboard, and Plague of Frogs jumped into a tie for third. After a tense seventh round and a quick tie-breaker, we had our crowns ready.
Our winners for the night were Emergency Food: Carrot Cake of Sadness, Plague of Frogs, and Breakfast All Day!
Come join us every Tuesday for more trivia action!
