Answer Submission Form for The Recess Room

One fateful day three decades ago, five boys picked up a game of handball during school recess on a Fountain Valley playground. They grew up together, became life-long friends and pursued their own ambitions. But they shared a deep love for their hometown and dreamed of one day opening a restaurant together where they could share good food, good drinks and reminisce about good times. The Recess Room is their childhood dream come to life.

Riddle me this: What do King Trivia pens and my ex-boyfriend have in common? (Answer below.)

We were happy to have newcomers Nomessina' Round join us at Round 3. Though they were tricked by Alice Cooper in Round 4 and just flat out stumped by La Croix flavors, they enjoyed themselves. Just Da Tip was bested by a double-down mishap on celebrity brands, and although Fickle Pickles kept their cool, not doubling down at all kept them from placing.

Ava's Minions missed out on a chance to double down in Round 6, which cost them first, but they were happy to at least have something to contribute to the pig's head pot. The fun came down to our Tournament of Champions experts -- freshly cut Highway Stars and free appetizer-fed Thirsty Pretzels!

Although neck in neck for the majority of the game, Highway Stars ultimately lost to Thirsty Pretzels by one lousy point because they forgot to turn in their pen! Both teams got the tiebreaker question just for funsies, and there was perhaps a little redemption knowing that even if they did tie, Thirsty Pretzels would have had the closest tiebreaker guess.

Riddle answer: They both cause way too much heartbreak and disappointment for being so small and cheap.
