Cue "The Office" theme music! You've got yourself the recap of King Trivia's "The Office" Themed Trivia Night at Poor Richard's a.k.a. Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills!

16 teams of "The Office" fans, some dressed as Angela, casual Friday Stanley, Dwight, one of Scott's Tot's, and even the Halloween Episode's 3 hole punch Jim (x2) and black cat Pam were there! They all gathered where the actual characters of "The Office" met up from time to time, at their Scranton watering hole "Poor Richard's"! That's right, Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills was the actual filming location for Poor Richard's in "The Office"! What better location could it have taken place?!

The show began as Assistant to the Regional Quizmaster, Dwight Schrute, popped out of a box he had been hiding in to spy on Pam and her alliance meeting. You can watch the cold open for the event here: https://youtu.be/cvqtXsmlpoY

Dwight also talked about the advertising King Trivia had done for the event, including the billboard that King Trivia put up, to which, Pam (aka Mary from King Trivia) informed Dwight that in fact the billboards had been defaced. When Pam told Dwight it was from the pictures from the photoshoot of him and Andy, Dwight repeated, "No no no no no no no no" as he ran out of the bar and saw the defaced billboard out front!

The game began as always with 6 general knowledge questions, including questions about Sabre's headquarters, Creed's favorite computer game, and the beautiful Amy Adams! For the picture round, teams had to name The Office character who was a blood relative to the character shown! Round 3 dealt with all Holiday episodes of The Office and Round number 4 were clues all about Mose, who Dwight thought would make a great paper salesman because of his fear of paper! Round 5 the traditional Find the Connection round, had answers whose first letters all spelled out "The Office" digital short entitled, "Blackmail". The night also featured only music that was featured in "The Office"!

For the Drinking Round, teams each sent one player up to play Oscar and Kevin's favorite "The Office" game, Hate Ball, because Angela hates it so much! That's right, it was the paper football game! One at a time each team had to try and flick a paper football through the uprights! The first team to go, casual Friday-dressed Stanley from team Process Servants, made it in right off the bat! In the first round only two teams made it. In the second round those two teams could not get it through, so it went to sudden death until one team flicked the paper football through the uprights. Round after round they battled it out until, finally, Stanley from Process Servants flicked it through and thus won the round of shots for his team!

Next, Dwight awarded the Dundee Award to the Most Spirited Team, Beets by Dwight, who bought a silk screen machine to make their own team shirts for the event! All 6 team members had a matching beet colored, Beets by Dwight t-shirt, with Dwight's glasses on a beet! What great shirts! They also won a Michael's World's Best Boss mug! See pictures of them and their t-shirts above!

Round 6, the matching round hand out, was all about Michael's movie "Threat Level Midnight"! Teams had to match each character from"The Office" to their role in Michael's movie! And finally for Round 7, teams had to list 6 of the women that Michael had a physical relationship with in the show, as well as the 4 other businesses in the Scranton business Park that shared the office building with the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin! What a game!

Coming in 3rd place with a huge score of 86 points, was team Mukduk She Wrote, who took home a $10 gift certificate for Pickwick's!

Coming in second, and winners of the $20 gift certificate for Pickwick's Pub, was team Old Friends, New Lovers, and the Disabled, who only missed one answer the entire night on round 2! That one wrong answer cost them the win because they scored 99 points and lost by one point!! So so close team! A valiant effort!

Coming in 1st place and winning $180 in cash money, was team Scott's Tots who answered every question correctly, and would have had a perfect game, had they gotten the Round Number 4 answer on the 10 point clue instead of the 8 point clue! But, man, what a performance! I would never have been able to score that high! Amazing job!

That just about does it for King Trivia's "The Office" Themed King Trivia event at Poor Richard's aka Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills! Thanks everyone for coming out! We hope you had a wonderful time! That's what she said!
