Our penultimate game at Network Brewery began with some festive Christmas music! Because, as I reminded everyone, it was now after Thanksgiving and therefore they weren't legally allowed to complain. But there were questions to be asked, so the game got under way!
The house team - Our Couch Pulls Out, But We Don't - got off to an early lead after pulling off a successful Double or Nothing in the South Park round, being the only ones to identify Britney Spears and Paris Hilton...as well as the always-popular Mecha-Streisand. Not to be outdone, Our Drinking Team Has a Trivia Problem rocketed back into a neck and neck race by playing a Double or Nothing on our themed round...about rockets (see what I did there?).
Not being as CW-savvy as their Quizmaster, everyone missed out on some major points on The Flash, but made up for it by figuring out the Boston-themed round pretty early on. Ultimately, despite some risks by RIP Emma and Old Married Couple in the final round through some attempted Double or Nothings, lobster was the selfish shellfish that did not crack the list of most-consumed meats in the US, allowing Our Drinking Team Has a Trivia Problem to eke out a win due to their registered team name's two bonus points! But our two other teams walked away with some prizes as the rankings defaulted to them away from the house team.
Shout outs to Old Married Couple, who played their first ever game of trivia with us this week! And also for answering three questions by just writing "Boston" in that round.
And to RIP Emma, who were not in the middle of a wake, but rather celebrating one of their coworkers (Emma...obviously) moving on to another job! Good luck, Emma!
Great job, trivia fiends! See you next week for our final game at Network Brewery for the foreseeable future! We'll laugh, we'll cry, we'll drink...you know, the usual!
