Wow, tonight was a tight contest! There were many lead changes and even a tie for second place that had to be broken.
Teams Oedipus and Riff Raff started off well with both hitting their double or nothing and tying for the lead. They were able to keep tied for the lead through the second round. Team Colorblind struggled in the beginning by missing their double or nothing in the second round by 1 question!
Team Colorblind made a come back by going from last to third by hitting the double or nothing in the 3rd round!
Almost everyone got tripped up by the Round 4 question as most teams didn't expect Young Frankenstein to have won a Saturn Award for Best Horror Film. Only team Color Blind was able to get points and they were able to tie for the lead at this point!
Round 6 saw Team 5-1-0 and Chrissy Tinas score on their double or nothings and by this time there was only a 7 point difference between last and first place with Riff Raff holding on to a slim 1 point lead.
Teams seemed to struggle with naming songs off the original Rocky Horror Soundtrack with the top teams only getting 5 out of 14 songs on the album. But that worked in Riff Raff's favor as their 5 point effort was just enough to hang onto the lead with Team 5-1-0 and Chrissy Tinas tying for second. Team 5-1-0 won the tiebreaking question to get the second prize!
It was a crazy evening with a lot of ups and downs for the teams which just goes to show you that things can change quickly in trivia and to never give up as you always have a chance to mount a comeback!
We had a fun night of trivia this Tuesday! Here are the highlights:
First off, more people need to be following King Trivia on Facebook! Only 3 of our 8 teams got the Tuesday Facebook question right this week, and it wasn't Sarah Palin... Quick reminder, King Trivia gives you a head start on one question every week for our trivia, at https://www.facebook.com/KingTrivia/
In Round 2, we had four teams get all the answers right to the Picture Round, and three of them even went Double-or-Nothing for double the points!
While we may have gotten a little saucy, especially in Round 3, it looked like we might need to brush up on our French cuisine, particularly Mother Sauces.
Round 4 was a tough one this week, with our Guess Where having some interesting history.
Great job to No use for a Name, Punderings, and Riff Raff for finding the correct Connection in Round 5! Even though all the answers were items of food, this week, the final question asked how they all tied to Silicon Valley, for which the answer was Android OS names.
I always appreciate music rounds, which is what Round 6 was this week - gives me a chance to bust out the vocals 🙂
And in Round 7, we learned that only one team knew any of the Calendar Slam tennis players (great work, Riff Raff), and Punderings was the only team to get all of the Prime Ministers of the UK from the 21st Century!
In the end, it was Five Inches Collectively who came out on top in first place, Riff Raff in second, and Punderings rounding out the top three. Thank you to everyone who came out to play! See you next Tuesday!

It was another packed evening at Bar Charlie for trivia this week! And I had a helper trying his hand at this whole QM thing (thanks Jim, great job!)
Eight full teams got to battle it out with their brains. Round 1 was our General Knowledge, and for the most part, teams did pretty well here. The one commonly missed question was about what Louisiana team won a smaller version of the "fall classic," key word being smaller version, we were looking for the Little League World Series, not LSU...
Round 2 tested the teams knowledge of (once banned) book covers, and they had to be specific. Toughest ones were The Grapes of Wrath, and the full Harry Potter title (and the Sorcerer's Stone).
For the third round, we had our guest Quizmaster, Jim, cracking jokes and counting points. We think he did great, and got some positive feedback from a few of our BC regulars 🙂
Our Guess Who round this week took a few clues for teams to start turning in their answers, but they all got it eventually. You really have to know a lot about these people to get it right on the first or second clue.
In round 5, we brought Jim back up again to Find the Connection. Riff Raff could have gone double-or-nothing to really jump in front of Sleeping Booty, but they held off for round 6, matching the fictional foods and drinks to their sources, and took the lead.
The final round was a tough one, and for the most part, kept teams in their same pecking order as the previous round. Although Boo's Crews was the only team to write down Papua New Guinea, the rest of the teams did well too.
In the end, final scores had Riff Raff in 1st place, followed by Sleeping Booty in 2nd, and Risk it for the Biscuit (who didn't end up risking it) in 3rd.
Thank you all for coming out for trivia this week! We had a ton of fun!
See you next Tuesday!
