QUIZ RECAP

Trivia Night Recap: The Saga of Sass, Snacks, and Sudden Screaming

Round One:

KABAM! came out swinging like trivia’s Mike Tyson, punching their way to the top with their encyclopedic knowledge of general randomness. But There’s No Crying in Trivia was already sniffling — not from sadness, just allergies. Or rage. Unclear.

Round Two:

Still feeling themselves, KABAM! chomped necks and chewed scenery as they dominated all things vampire. Turns out watching every season of True Blood and Twilight ironically gives you bite. The rest of the teams were left in the crypt.

Round Three:

Hold the garlic! There’s No Crying in Trivia put on their running shoes (and aprons?) and zoomed past everyone with a shocking amount of knowledge about both Olympic sprinters and Indian spices. That’s range. KABAM! dropped to second, still trying to remember if turmeric is a root or a Hogwarts house.

Round Four:

Things got weird. Real weird. A mystery person round had folks guessing wildly, but There’s No Crying in Trivia somehow summoned the holy trivia spirit and correctly ID’d Pope Francis I. KABAM! guessed “Papa John” with unsettling confidence.

Round Five:

The theme was a connection round about the Garden of Eden, and There’s No Crying in Trivia had clearly been studying their Sunday school notes—or they just really like apples and metaphors. Either way, they nailed it. Shea Butter got distracted trying to decide if a fig leaf counts as “casual wear.”

Drinking Round (Chaos Intermission):

With alcohol flowing and dignity retreating, KABAM! roared back to life, winning the drinking round focused on Easter candy with impressive knowledge of marshmallow production and chocolate bunny stats. 2girls1baby took a shot every time someone said “jelly bean” and have not been seen since.

Round Six:

We were all surprised There’s No Crying in Trivia could still read after the drinking round, but they flexed some serious sequel-sleuthing skills in the book matching round. Olson matched “Dune” with “Fast & Furious 9” and claimed it was “emotionally correct.”

Round Seven:

It ended with chills — literally. The final round was all about frigid temps and who’s staking claims in Antarctica, and There’s No Crying in Trivia closed it out like a penguin in a parka: cold, calculating, and waddling triumphantly to victory. AmazSingh kept yelling, “New Zealand owns the ice!” which is not technically wrong, but still got zero points.

Final Verdict:

There’s No Crying in Trivia took the crown with brainpower, tenacity, and probably some kind of trivia blood pact. KABAM! was a noble runner-up, and everyone else? They had a good time. Or at least they think they did. Memory gets fuzzy around Round 5.

See you all next week!
