QUIZ RECAP

Don't let a quiet bar fool you...even though most of Seattle stayed home to nurse their Labor Day hangovers this Trivia Tuesday, it still got real heated at Marco Polo Bar + Grill, with one of the highest-scoring games this venue's ever seen.

Solo player Clever Name Pending pulled a bold move right out of the gate with a successful first-round double or nothing that would have set them up nicely for a win...in any other week. With this week's high scores, they found themselves trying to keep up with the big dogs and slipped into last place despite an impressive showing.

Scratch and Sniff offshoots Las Guachas resisted the temptation to ride their former teammates' coattails, but maybe they should have split those teams a little more evenly; Las Guachas closed out three points shy of the last place prize. With a point total that would have won them the game in any other week, they still win some bragging rights. Right? That's a thing?

That brings us to perennial stinkers Scratch and Sniff. They certainly ate their spinach this week...as evidenced by their successful double down on our Popeye-themed Find the Connection round as well as on our 1985 themed round. They put up a team-best 74 points, which was enough to clinch them the w...

...NOT SO FAST. Newcomers Crack'n Rat City took it this week, with a whopping 79 points and an encyclopedic knowledge of Golf movies, the 1980s, and celebrity Bobs, as well as a devil-may-care attitude towards that double or nothing box. 

Will Crack'n Rat City be back to defend their title, or will they slip off into the night never to be seen again? Let's hope for the former -- it certainly kept things interesting!

Wanna give these talented teams a run for their money (okay, or gift cards)? You know the drill...they'll be waiting for you at the Marco Polo, next Tuesday at 8pm.
