QUIZ RECAP
We’re getting thankful up this barrel-shaped house. Why shouldn’t we? It’s a Tuesday, the weather is nice, and we have seven rounds of KING TRIVIA to look forward to!
31 teams arrived for what would turn out to be a truly epic evening of questions, answers, and self reflection.
The first half of the game opened with an unheard of 12-way tie for first place. Round after round, we whittled down the groups, but could not find a single leader. In fact, up until the very last moment of the game, this was a shared seat at first place.
We honored National Pickle Day for our drinking round, and Legally Distinct Branding managed to sneak in the victory and earn their free drinks. But then the true battle began.
Paul Giamatti (team not the actor) and Union Barbie had a lock on the top spot for the entire game…up through Round 6. During a tricky mix and match round, a few teams chose the cautious path forward, while others threw caution to the wind. With a risky double leapfrogging the competition, new champion emerged in time to steal victory from the jaws of defeat.
Our winners for the night were Jakes Varjynia by Ronald Mcdonalds Charlotte House, Paul Giamatti, and Grandma’s Ghost!
Come join us every Tuesday for more trivia action!
