QUIZ RECAP

A huge crowd came out for Trivia Night at Founders Ale House on Tuesday! A grand total of 20 teams started out the game, with over 12 teams staying until the final rounds. After a few "Wishy-Washy" questions stumped some teams during the Wishing and Hoping and Dreaming round, everyone stepped their game up in rounds 5, 6, and 7. Many of the top teams opted to Double or Nothing during Find The Connection, and the race was heated until the very end. None of the teams aced Round 7, but every point counted tonight, as the top three teams — Troop Beverly Hills Adjacent, Ancient Geezers and It Sounds Right — all ended up within one point of each other! Congrats on being fierce competitors and come back again for more awesome King Trivia nights at Founders Ale House!

Novelist or author? That is the question. Two separate things, yet both uncharted territories for me. What a challenging visual handout for round number two! Identifying contemporary novelists? No thank you. It was so difficult, no one dared to double down on their answers. It affected everyone's doubling mojo! It wasn't until the 5th round that anyone even tried to double at all! That's where everything took off, when Get Out of Here, Ghost! (1st picture) and Interrobang Gang nailed the find the connection round. Not to be out done, the Ancient Geezers (3rd picture) stepped up their double or nothing game and doubled down successfully in the 6th  AND 7th round. It wasn't enough though, they came up just ONE point short of first place. I could hear the group blaming the "Turn of the Screw" question for ruining their chances. They didn't let that ruin the rest of their night though, they were just happy to place (since they thought I was a bad luck charm due to the fact that they hadn't placed since I took over Quizmaster duties at Founder's). Also having a good time? Sparrow Biscuit (2nd picture)! They didn't let their score affect their good time either. What good sports!  Better luck next time, ya'll!

Tonight was the debut of my favorite visual aid: Mr White Board! He helped me track and display all the team's score while being super sexy.  I am a super visual person so I thought I would cater to my fellow peeps and keep scores visible throughout the entire game. We're you a fan? I was! Now, I only need a "Vanna White like" assistant to help me update scores and I'll have the hottest trivia night on the planet! Stay tuned!

Besides my new gimmick of a score board, tonight's game was a very competitive session.  All the regulars were back at it, doubling down hard! Troop Beverly Hills Adjacent took an early lead (with their successful double down and bonus two points for their registered team number in round one) that lasted throughout the first four rounds!  But their slow and steady pace couldn't withstand The Hammer of Glory, as they NAILED the "find the Connection" round.  From then on, Hammer rode their successful double down right to the Glory of first place! It was so Glorious, I just had to get a picture of them with Mr White Board.

Congratulations teams on surviving Memorial Day weekend and coming in for an awesome night of trivia! Mr White Board and I will be back next week at 8pm!

Cheers!
