QUIZ RECAP

Good evening everyone and welcome to the largest trivia night at this venue so far. There were five teams, all of them new! What an awesome group it was too. Each team was full of jokes, charisma, and trivia knowledge and ready to go. Tonight I personally saw one of the biggest high scores of all time earned by The Roofus Doofuses (team mascot seen below)

****************FUN TRIVIA FACT OF THE WEEK**********

I'm going to sneak this one in here due to there being a question about video games released in 1996. This was a big year for video games including Pokemon Red and Blue in the US. This was the video game that almost didn't become the phenomenon we know today. Gamefreak pitched it to Nintendo several times and there were a lot of unpaid hours just to get it to market.

Once it was on the market it was only reporting modest sales. What really boosted it to stardom was mew #151 who was found in the game only as bonus content. Once players found out, gamefreak hosted a huge event where 200 people could get mew. In the end, there were 78,000 entrants and a huge surge in sales of the games. The rest is history.
