QUIZ RECAP
10 Teams, 7 Rounds, 1 Drinking Round, and plenty of fun to start the New Year
Welcome back to Rescue Brewing, and the first game of 2025. Great to be back. So... get anything good for the holidays? Any destinations you visited? How's the family? Oh wait... this isn't a dialogue. You're just here for the recal. Ok ok, let's get started.
Round One:
The trivia started off with a bang, or rather a loud collective groan, as half the teams forgot basic facts they definitely used to know. It was a free-for-all leaderboard with multiple teams tied for the lead—likely because “General Questions” turned out to mean “You should have paid attention in high school.” Shoutout to Last Two Brain Cells, who lived up to their name by frantically whispering, “Wait, do we have two brain cells?”
Round Two:
Don’t Think, Just Do took charge here, proving they are the true fashionistas of the fútbol world. While others debated whether “kits” and “uniforms” were the same thing, they confidently wrote down every jersey fact like it was the World Cup of useless knowledge. Team Fabianski looked crushed when “Fabianski” wasn’t one of the correct answers.
Round Three:
Once again, Don’t Think, Just Do lived up to their name—this time breezing through “small house things…or something like that” (yes, that was really the round’s theme). They crushed it with lightning-fast answers while everyone else spent the round arguing over what a “thing” actually is. Balutefisk submitted “toothpick” for every answer and somehow got one right.
Round Four:
Things got philosophical with a “Guess Who” about Gandhi, and The Con-Quiz-tadors swept in like trivia conquistadors to steal the lead. Their deep knowledge of Gandhi was equal parts impressive and terrifying—rumor has it they were chanting “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind” before the round even started.
Round Five:
Keyboard chaos ensued as the round demanded teams find connections with keys, and Balutefisk emerged victorious by thinking outside the QWERTY. While other teams debated whether the “space bar” counted as a key, Balutefisk calmly nailed every question. DD’s tried smashing keys on their phones for answers, but alas, no points for enthusiasm.
Drinking Round:
Ah, the palate cleanser of trivia—a drinking round where Ingenious Geniuses lived up to their name by knowing the world’s longest kite ever made (it’s a lot of kite, in case you were wondering). The Drinking Vikings looked ready to storm the stage until they realized this wasn’t a literal drinking contest.
Round Six:
As the trivia ship sailed into pop culture waters, Balutefisk continued their domination, proving they know their anchors, both literal and metaphorical. From news desks to ships, they answered like they were born to be anchored. Meanwhile, Patty Cakes got sidetracked debating whether Oprah technically counts as a “show anchor.”
Round Seven:
The final showdown brought DNA and cheeses together in a way only trivia can. With their legendary performance in rounds 5, 6, and 7, Balutefisk took the crown. The Con-Quiz-tadors made a valiant effort, but their early-game momentum fizzled faster than a flat soda. Meanwhile, Last Two Brain Cells celebrated by high-fiving each other (literally—they’re just two people).
MVP Moment: Ingenious Geniuses’ drinking round win, proving you don’t need to win the war to win happy hour. Cheers to that! 🍻
Thanks for joining us tonight. Stay safe with the wind and fires, and we'll see you next week!
