QUIZ RECAP
Trivia Night Recap: A Night of Brainpower and Beer
What a night, folks! Seven rounds, seven teams, and seven questionable life choices later, we’ve got the full scoop on who crushed it and who needs to spend some serious time on Wikipedia before next week.
Round One: General Questions
The competition began with a spicy three-way tie between There’s No Crying in Trivia, KABAM5, and Menace to Sobriety. Turns out, everyone but Balutefisk knew that the platypus is the only egg-laying mammal. Tough break, fish fans.
Round Two: A Round About Bartenders in Movies
There’s No Crying in Trivia cried, Menace to Sobriety sobered up, and KABAM5 started showing their trivia chops. They nailed the difference between Sam Malone from Cheers and Brian Flanagan from Cocktail—a feat that left everyone else just shaking their metaphorical (and actual) martinis.
Round Three: Bees and Historic Lovers
Somehow, KABAM5 both knew about bee pollination and Casanova’s favorite foods, which made them unstoppable. Ingenious Geniuses debated whether Cleopatra had a “bee phobia” for too long and buzzed out of contention.
Round Four: Amelia Earhart
This was KABAM5’s time to shine again as they out-navigated the competition. While The Rescue Rangers incorrectly guessed “Mars” as Earhart’s final destination, KABAM5 confidently soared to the top. Lesson learned: overconfidence in fictional geography won’t get you trivia points.
Round Five: Sonic the Hedgehog
The trivia equivalent of a loop-de-loop saw KABAM5 dominating once again with their encyclopedic knowledge of Sonic’s arch-nemesis (it’s Dr. Robotnik, not “some mustache guy”). Meanwhile, Bro Brews made a valiant attempt but couldn’t keep up the pace.
Drinking Round: Artificial Christmas Trees
Between rounds, Bro Brews rose like a frothy pint to claim their only victory of the night. Who knew their Christmas spirit (or possibly the beer) would give them a leg up? With impressive accuracy, they nailed stats on fake trees while everyone else debated whether “real trees count as décor.”
Round Six: Corporate Cities
Menace to Sobriety fell apart here, possibly because sobriety was no longer in play. Meanwhile, KABAM5 steamrolled with answers about real-life dystopias, like Celebration, Florida, and made it look like child’s play.
Round Seven: Broadway Musicals
It was a final curtain call for KABAM5, who belted out musical facts like they were in a one-team production of Hamilton. Ingenious geniuses and Bro Brews somehow managed to confuse Cats with Les Misérables, ensuring their tie for the last-place finish.
Winner: KABAM5
With unmatched trivia prowess and a suspiciously specific knowledge of obscure topics, KABAM5 snagged the crown. The rest? Well, let’s just say they’ve got 168 hours to brush up before the next match. Until then, keep your buzzers ready and your answers questionable!
See you all next week!!
