Goose the dog (and leader of Team Year of the Ratatouille Starring Remy As Patton Oswalt) lived up to his name and goosed the QM repeatedly this evening. It was consensual.
Goose's team jumped into an early lead with two rounds of perfect scores, doubled. They kept answering questions correctly and kept their lead all night. Even though Team Tokyo Banana had perfect and near-perfect rounds, they had to settle for second place. As trivia vets, they knew they'd prevail next time and were all smiles.
Team Listen to the Flipside Podcast thought I was kidding when I said they came in third but quickly accepted their surprise success and began to discuss how to spend their $10 in winnings. Team Airport Penguin missed placing in the top three by a single point. Our only solo team this evening, she swore to return for vengeance.
Trivia. Drink specials. Popcorn. An awesome menu and a developing rivalry. See you next week for more!

The event was smooth. The questions had a good mixture of easy and hard. The best part was the 1st place team for the entire game was upended at the last round with a perfect score from the 2nd place team.
Good environment

Another rousing game of King Trivia in the books, at Americana restaurant. Everyone present that night was there for trivia we had the whole place to ourselves what a feeling.
The knowledge.
The popcorn.
The tension.
The beverages.
The dog in the corner.
An unforgettable evening on many counts. Especially for the top 3 teams. The game remained close throughout, with every team getting the "guess who" round answer correct, and many teams finding the connection in round 5, even without getting all of the previous 9 answers correct. Which impressed this quizmaster.
Tokyo Banana was just able to take the victory with a successful double or nothing in the final round considering this year's best picture nominees. Hillary Duff as Lizzie McGuire as Cadet Kelly was in control for most of the game, and were stunned with the late game comeback. But I'm sure they'll be poised for vengeance next week, I'd expect nothing less of Hillary Duff as Lizzie McGuire as Cadet Kelly.
