It felt like a homecoming of sports when I hosted trivia at Thunderbird! I first fell in love with King Trivia at Thunderbird as a player and its where I first learned about becoming a Quizmaster. I even ran into a friend from college! When KT asked me to host, I couldn't pass up the opportunity!
We had an awesome turnout at Thunderbird - fourteen teams and 53 players! What made for the great atmosphere at trivia? Was it Sunday Night Football? Was it the $8 margaritas and mules special? The skee-ball and photobooth or amazing bar staff? Probably all of the above!
People say sports bring people together - as evidenced by our team Ram It, Dawg Pound (see two football rivals coming togehter to place third!) - but I say it's trivia that brings people together. We had some first timers who thrived at the game, as well as some veteran players.
Our 14 teams thrived through 7 rounds of play. The question set covered all areas of knowledge. Some of my personal favorite questions had to do with matching feline mascots to their organizations and recognizing the origin of the chocolate chip cookie!
Thanks for letting me sub at Thunderbird everyone. Hope to see you all again!
