We had quite the challenging game of trivia last night at College Bar & Grill! Our teams competing for the evening included Mouthful of Muffins, Pitter Patter, Clawdio, 2 D's + A V, Mom Beards, Mega Desk, and Mark Wahlberg's.

Our general knowledge for the first round left us with everyone in ties for first, second, and third place! In first we had a tie for 6 points between Pitter Patter and Mom Beards. Second was a tie for 5 points between 2 D's + A V, Mega Desk, and Mark Wahlberg's. In third we had a tie for 4 points between Mouthful of Muffins and Clawdio. A very close start all across the board, truly it could be anyone's game.

Round 2 asked our teams to identify the pixel art of classic characters. 5 of our 7 teams chose to use their Double or Nothing plays in this round. Those teams were 2 D's + A V, Clawdio, Mouthful of Muffins, Pitter Patter, and Mega Desk. Each of them were able to earn their teams an additional 16 points!

Round 3 seemed to be a bit more challenging for some teams than others. 2 D's + A V and Clawdio were each able to get all of the questions correct in this round while the Mark Wahlberg's only got 1 correct. By this point in the game there was a tie for first between Pitter Patter and 2 D's + A V who each had 27 points. In second, another tie for 26 points between Clawdio and Mega Desk. Third, Mouthful of Muffins with 25 points. Fourth was the Mom Beards with 16 points. And in fifth we had Mark Wahlberg's with 12 points.

Our Guess Who in Round 4 really had people stumped this week! No one was able to correctly guess our mystery person until our 4 point clue, to which Mark Wahlberg's, Clawdio, Mom Beards, Pitter Patter, and Mouthful of Muffins each earned those points for their teams. Mega Desk was only able to correctly identify the person in our final clue earning their team just 2 points. While 2 D's + A V had instead written Idina Menzel when we were looking for the character she played in Frozen, Elsa, meaning their team lost a point.

In Round 5 our teams were searching not only for the answer to life, but the answer to the commonality of the answers in this round. 4 our the teams correctly were able to identify the commonality as being related to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; those teams were Mouthful of Muffins, Marh Wahlberg's, 2 D's + A V, and Mega Desk. Of those teams though Mouthful of Muffins was the only team to get all of the answers correct in this round! By this point in the game we still had a tie for first place of 39 points, however it was now between Mouthful of Muffins and Clawdio. In second with 38 points was Pitter Patter. In third with 37 points we had Mega Desk. Fourth with 35 points we had 2 D's + A V. In fifth was Mom Beards with 25 points, while Mark Wahlberg's were in sixth with 23 points.

Round 6 asked our teams to match the dog breed to their country of origin. Mouthful of Muffins, Pitter Patter, and Mega Desk were each able to match all 10 of the answers correctly! Clawdio was able to get 8 correct, Mark Wahlberg's had 7 correct, 2 D's + A V guessed 6 correctly, and Mom Beards had 5 correct answers.

Our final round asked our teams to name the NFL teams that do not include the letters N, F, or L in their team nicknames. To my personal surprise every single team got all of the answers in this round correct!

By the end of the game Mark Wahlberg's were in seventh place with 35 points. Sixth went to Mom Beards with 52 points. Just above them in fifth was 2 D's + A V with 53 points. In fourth we had Clawdio with 59 points. Third went to Pitter Patter with 60 points. And after whipping out our tie breaker, as both Mega Desk and Mouthful of Muffins each had 61 points, our first place spot went to Mega Desk.

Join us again next week to see who will triumph in the game of trivia!

We had The G.O.A.T.S., Rachel Ray Romano's Macaroni Grill, Bippus Too, Th4nd3r C4tz, and There Are No Laws, When You Are Drinking Claws (AKA No Laws=Clawz, No Claws=Laws, Some Laws=Four Loko, No Clawz=Bad Time, Claw Gawd, and Claudio).

In Round 1 our teams tested their general knowledge, and it seems that generally people knew things! After adding points for teams that were registered we had Rachel Ray Romano's Macaroni Grill in first place with 6 points, in second Th4nd3r C4tz with 5, third went to The G.O.A.T.S. with 4 points and in a tie for fourth each with 3 points were Bippus Too and There Are No Laws, When You Are Drinking Claws.

The G.O.A.T.S. and Bippus Too each earned 6 points for their teams. Rachel Ray Romano's Macaroni Grill earned 5 points and There Are No Laws, When You Are Drinking Claws.

In Round 3 the theme was homonyms and asked the teams to identify the word that fit two separate definitions. Our players crushed this round! Two teams chose to play their Double or Nothing's in this round. Those teams were Rachel Ray Romano's Macaroni Grill and There Are No Laws, When You Are Drinking Claws who each earned 12 additional points for their teams! by this point in the game Rachel Ray Romano's Macaroni Grill was still in first but now had 23 points.

And in third we had a tie between The G.O.A.T.S. and Bippus Too who both had 15 points.

Our teams were attempting to solve our mystery 'Guess Who' person in Round 4. There are No Laws, When You Are Drinking Claws was able to correctly identify our mystery man after just 1 clue! That means they were able to win 10 points for this round! Rachel Ray Romano's Macaroni Grill was able to guess correctly after our fourth clue, so they brought in 4 points for their team. Bippus Too and Th4nd3r C4tz were only able to get it after our final clue, which meant they each got 2 points for their teams. The G.O.A.T.S. incorrectly identified the mystery man meaning they lost a point. Our teams were trying to identify King Arthur.

At the end of Round 4 Th4nd3r C4tz chose to step out from the game leaving just 4 teams carried on to our final 3 round. In Round 5 our teams were asked to find the connection between the first 9 answers and identify the commonality for question 10. We had 2 teams play their Double or Nothings in this round, those were The G.O.A.T.S and Bippus Too. Each were able to get their answers correct but The G.O.A.T.S. earned 18 additional points while Bippus Too earned 14, due to the difference in how many correct written answers they had. There Are No Laws, While You Are Drinking Claws earned 9 points and Rachel Ray Romano's Macaroni Grill earned 8.

In Round 6 our teams matched the Leonardo DiCaprio film character to its corresponding film. The G.O.A.T.S. and There Are No Laws, While You Are Drinking Claws got all of their answers correct for this round! Bippus Too matched 6 correctly and Rachel Ray Romano's Macaroni Grill matched 5 correctly.

And finally, for our last round of the evening, our teams were asked to name 10 out of the 11 countries that exported the most coffee in 2018. The majority of our teams were able to identify at least a handful of correctly.
