QUIZ RECAP

Sometimes it just feels...right. Birds are chirping, beer is flowing, the Red Sox are beating the Yankees, and you get a record-huge crowd of old faves and new flaves at Tuesday night trivia.  

Gather 'round, teams, because Auntie Triv's about to tell you a story. 

Long-lost favorites Kids Don't Float and TUI both made triumphant returns to the game, joining fellow familiar faces Scratch and Sniff and Work Sucks...I Know! and new players Vaxxed and Relaxed and That New Squid Game Show for one helluva game. 

TUI took an early lead, but fell behind to Kids Don't Float midway through the game. Never underestimate Scratch and Sniff, though -- they came from behind with one of the most strategic moves this game has ever seen, all in order to get their score to a...round...number. Nice.

At the end of the game, Kids Don't Float doubled or nothinged their way to the W, with Scratch and Sniff continuing their second-place streak for yet another week. TUI narrowly missed collecting a prize with their third-place finish, but at 65 points, it was certainly a performance to be proud of. 

In lower-scoring news, history was made at the Marco Polo tonight, with what is quite possibly (hopefully?) the first tiebreaker for last place in King Trivia history. After dropouts That New Squid Game Show made like their name and, uh, self-eliminated, Vaxxed and Relaxed and Work Sucks...I Know! found themselves in a tie for the coveted last-place prize.

So what did we do? A tiebreaker, of course. While Work Sucks...I Know! gave a perfectly terrible answer, guessing that Cinderella's Castle at Disneyworld is at maximum 50 feet tall, Vaxxed not Waxxed cruised their way to the bottom by simply responding, "Blue." Way to understand the assignment, team. 

While it's a pleasure to be your Quizmaster every week, this one was truly a night for the ages!
