QUIZ RECAP

Tuesday evening at Snakes & Lattes 5 teams joined us for an evening of trivia. Our teams for the night were Claire's Passport, MELI & the Minions, Dumb and Dumber, Terry's, and Crunchy Soup Hat.

Our first round of general knowledge asked our teams questions about The Phoenix Suns, Halley's Comet, and even about the fall equinox! Which coincidentally was the same evening as our trivia! After our first round Claire's Passport had the most points at a total of 5. The Terry's and Crunchy Soup Hats began tied in second place with 3 points, behind them in fourth was Dumb and Dumber with 1 point and MELI & the Minions in last place so far with 0 points.

Round 2 challenged our teams by asking them to identify the name of a game show based on the hosts that were shown in the images. This round broke the tie between Crunchy Soup Hats and the Terry's putting the Terry's in second place just a single point behind Claire's Passport who stood in first with a total of 9 points.

The theme for Round 3 was that all of the questions this round related to things that are soft. For example one question asked about which civilization created the first marshmallows and who knitted Mr. Rogers' sweaters in the early years of his show. By this point in the game Terry's had taken the lead with a total of 12 points, behind them with 11 points we had Claire's Passport. These teams seemed to be playing a bit of leap frog together. Dumb and Dumber slid their way into third place with 8 points due to Crunchy Soup Hats having played a Double or Nothing, hoping for the double but instead getting the nothing leaving them in fourth place with 6 points. Still chugging along and fighting their hardest was MELI & the Minions in fifth place still with 0 points.

Round 4 challenged our players to identify a mystery location this week. The first clue identified a name ancient Romans had for this location as well as what kind of rock formations could be found in the area. Other clues went on the comment on the wildlife in this area and even that it is used as the company logo for Prudential Financial. Crunchy Soup Hats were able to guess correctly after our second clue giving their team 8 extra points. Claire's Passport got it on our third clue giving them 6 points and the Terry's got it correct on the following clue giving them 4 more points. Unfortunately MELI & the Minions as well as Dumb and Dumber were not able to guess correctly and each had a point removed from their scores.

Round 5 is our Find the Connection round in which the teams must identify the commonality between the answers of questions 1 through 9 in order to correctly answer question number 10. The commonality for this week's questions was that each of the answers contained a different type of ice cream flavor! Crunchy Soup Hats made their way into first place thanks to getting all of the questions correct in this round leaving their total score at 24 points! Still playing leap frog, just behind them in second with 23 points was the Terry's. In third we had Claire's Passport still clinging to those top slots with 22 points! Close indeed! In fourth was Dumb and Dumber with 11 points and MELI & the Minions were in fifth with 7 points!

Round 6 this week would've put my theatre degree to the test had I been a player and not the quizmaster! Our teams were asked to match the lead characters to the musicals that they are from. Still coming in hot with the answers was team Crunchy Soup Hats with another full 10 points this round for being able to correctly match up each lead to their show!

The final round asked our teams to think back to the classic board game Monopoly by naming at least 10 of the 12 spaces that can be purchased for less than and not equal to $200.

In the end Dumb and Dumber were in fifth place with 11 points, ahead of them with 12 points was MELI & the Minions. In third with 31 points we had the Terry's. Second went to Claire's Passport who had a total of 31 points, and in first we had Crunchy Soup Hats with 41 points.

Join us again next week at Snakes & Lattes Tuesdays at 7PM!
