QUIZ RECAP

It was another electric evening at The Dudes! Despite the change of the seasons and the sun setting well before we kicked off at 7:30 pm, we still had a fabulous turnout. This week's teams were diverse in age and experience, resulting in some of the most stimulating King Trivia I've seen during my near 3-month tenure as a Quizmaster.

There were some 20-somethings, 30-somethings, parents and even two babies! Start 'em young, amirite?

The teams were are on the larger side so you know that it was an evening full of friends coming together. The sports atmosphere also increased the collective camaraderie. We had Thursday Night Football on one screen, Clippers vs. Warriors on another and World Series highlights on in between.

In the spirit of SpOoKy SeAsOn, this week's drinking round question was: what does the average American spend on Halloween? According to USA Today (2018), the answer is $86.79! Our winning team for this round, Colorado Border Wall, came in at $85 so they were, quite literally, right on the money! Some teams' guesses were in the triple digits - probably a reflection of their own affinity and spending toward the holiday. Perhaps we should have factored in SoCal premium for that answer, but alas, $86.79 is what the average Joe/Josefina spends on Halloween.

I let the players know that next week I will be donning a costume in honor of All Hallow's Even when we reconvene on 10/31 for some brews and boos! Hope to see all you ghouls and goblins there.
