QUIZ RECAP

1... 2... 3-peat!

As ever, King Trivia night at the Lumber Yard in White Center was a battle for trivia domination.

Round 1 pushed our teams' trivia knowledge limits. While some teams, like weekly regulars Flag Hags and Lime Skittles made it through relatively unscathed, newcomers Poopy Slippers and Team Awesome were caught scratching their heads on a number of the general knowledge questions.

But, by Round 2, everyone found their groove - and then some. With the exception of a few teams mixing up King Henry VIII and William Shakespeare, every team at least 6 points to their totals. But it was Flag Hags who really went for it - going double-or-nothing - who took 16 total points this round.

"Switching" over to Round 3, each question or answer pertained to some kind of "switch". And, in this round it was the Poopy Slippers and latecomers Morning Wood who took top points - correctly guessing 5 of the 6 answers.

In our "Guess Who Where?" round, teams SHOCKED this quizmaster as 4 of the 5 teams submitted answers after the 10-point clue was read! And our last team didn't wait much longer - they submitted right after the 8-point clue was read! A trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth" must have been on everyone's minds because all of our teams correctly guessed I was talking about Disney World!

Round 5 started feeling quite familiar early on in the round. As teams answered question after question, the round's common thread became almost effortlessly clear. Without missing a beat, though with a few answered missed here and there, every team knew this round was all about their hometown - Seattle!

We headed back to Disney World for Round 6 where teams had to match Disney Dad's like King Triton to their kids (Ariel, duh). Both Lime Skittles and Flag Hags had perfect matches - and doubled up to score 20 points in the round!

Our night's final round proved much tougher than our teams initially anticipated. Teams needed to name 10 of the 12 Britney Spears songs that have ever reached the top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Seriously, this was way harder than it seemed. There were valiant efforts from Lime Skittles and Poopy Slippers who hoped a double-or-nothing gamble would put them on top. But, their guesses included too many of her early hits, which never broke the top 10! Flag Hags, Team Awesome and Morning Wood played it a bit safer and were able to eek 5-6 points out of the round.

In the end, Flag Hags secured their third win in a row with a whopping 71 points! Lime Skittles finished in 2nd with 55 points. And newcomers Team Awesome finished in 3rd with 52 points.

Thank you everyone who joined in this week! Come back and see me and the crew at the Lumber Yard for another fantastic night of trivia! Same time, same place.
