QUIZ RECAP
Trivia Night Recap: Six Teams, Seven Rounds, and One Questionably Sober Drinking Game
Round One: Right out of the gate, KABAM5 flexed their trivia muscles and snagged the lead with General Knowledge questions, while There’s no crying in trivia stayed in pace to keep their name ironic, and Uno dose solo proved that one really is the loneliest number in trivia.
Round Two: It was still KABAM5 at the top, as they somehow aced a round on 2020s game shows. Meanwhile, the Ingenious Geniuses realized they were maybe just “Adequately Intelligent Geniuses,” and Balutefisk? Let’s just say their strategy tasted as questionable as their team name.
Round Three: KABAM5 stayed unstoppable, crushing the surprisingly tricky combo of famous halls and grains. Yes, grains. Trivia night: where knowing quinoa facts can win you glory. Over in the corner, Novaterrors panicked and tried to guess “corn” for every question.
Round Four: When the category was “Guess Who” (Li’l Wayne), everyone else might as well have gone home. KABAM5 nailed it, while Balutefisk guessed a suspicious number of country singers, and Uno dose solo shouted “Lil Jon!” for every answer. Yeahhh! (No.)
Round Five: With fast food chicken restaurants as the common thread, There’s no crying in trivia finally said, “Bucket, we’re taking this one!” and snatched the lead. KABAM5 had a moment of weakness when they confused Popeyes with KFC, a rookie mistake that will haunt them forever.
Drinking Round: Fueled by hubris and maybe a few tequila shots, KABAM5 reclaimed their honor during SmarterPhone, proving they can out-Google anyone in the room. Let’s hope the other teams were too busy laughing to notice.
Round Six: Things got island-y as There’s no crying in trivia showed off their geography chops with islands and the countries they’re a part of. Meanwhile, Novaterrors insisted that Hawaii was its own country and Ingenious Geniuses pointed at Australia like it was a wildcard answer.
Round Seven: The final showdown on James Bond movies was shaken, not stirred, as There’s no crying in trivia sealed the victory.
In the end, There’s no crying in trivia claimed the crown, leaving KABAM5 forced to be happy with 2nd place, and drown their sorrows in chicken nuggets. The real MVP, though? Trivia itself. Because win or lose, it’s all about showing off the most useless knowledge you’ll never need again.
Next week is the last Trivia at Rescue until January 8, so let’s pack the house! See you then!
