It is Thanksgiving week of 2020! What we can be thankful for, in a time like this, is King Trivia on Zoom!

I, Quizmaster TC, was grateful to host my first virtual King Trivia night after hosting many of my own on Zoom during this pandemic! And what a night it was!

40 players making up 9 teams came ready to play with and against each other. We had individuals from Australia (whoa!), Vermont, Seattle (me), Bay Area, LA, and college students from UCLA!

It was a great friendly competition...until we got to the question about the number of sides of the Great Pyramid of Giza. While all teams answered according to what we were asking for, Six Feet From Kevin Bacon did their research and shed some light on the actual facts. For most of the game, they were tied for first with Zima: Warrior Princess. But because of their diligence in researching this Facebook Question of the Day, Six Feet From Kevin Bacon was rewarded with this point, which got them the victory with this one point lead! This goes to show that it may make a big difference to join the King Trivia Facebook Page to preview questions!

Congrats to Zima: Warrior Princess for coming in at an extremely close 2nd place and Taking Care of Quizness for getting 3rd place.

Honorable mention to my good friends bortles! (so good to see y'all again!) who placed 4th and to BRAINERS BRUINS RACCOONS ANIME for being the youngest team (college students) that was able to score some points and place... 7th!

It was a fun Thanksgiving week trivia night with you all! Thank you for playing and have a blessed Thanksgiving weekend!
