It was a busy night at JJ Pfister Distilling and the décor indicated the official start of spooky season! Questions tonight ranged from famous Harolds and Maudes (but not the movie Harold and Maude) to movies released this year of our lord, 2022.  Returning team The Faculty got off to a strong start with a successful double or nothing during our first round.  However, multiple teams were looking to give them chase in their search for trivia victory, including Team Chad, CHIM, Fared, and Champagne Campaign all of whom had strong rounds throughout the game.  While first place seemed a near certainty for The Faculty to take the top spot of the night, second place was up for grabs.  Our last round quizzed our teams on both American political parties and songs with “party” in the title.

After all was said and done, the Faculty held onto their first place position while Fared claimed the second place spot (both taking home gift certificates for JJ Pfister).  Team Cheers won the elusive mystery bag of the night.  I’ll see everyone next Thursday at 6:30 for a night of drinking and trivia!

It was a packed house at JJ Pfister Distilling Company with a patio and dining room filled with eager minds looking to test their trivia might.  Rounds tonight ranged from breakfast cereals (one of my favorite topics of all time) to British royalty.  Returning team Freeze, You’re Under Duress (who changes their name weekly) got off to a very strong start with back-to-back double or nothings.  Things started to pick up in round five for teams Is There a Midwife in the House?, Lavish Display of Ignorance, and Team Yellow Hat (who didn’t wear the yellow hat after which the team is named) after their own successful double or nothing.  By the final round, scores had tightened up considerably, but Freeze, You’re Under Duress was still in the top spot by six points.  Round seven quizzed our teams on the “best” songs by Elton John (according to a Rolling Stone readers’ poll, anyway).

In the end, team Freeze, You’re Under Duress was able to hold onto their lead and claim the coveted first place spot for the second week in a row.  Team Is There a Midwife in the House? took second place while team CLC Queens took the mystery bag home.  Come around on Thursdays at 6:30 for your chance to claim the trivia crown of the week!

It was a fun night of trivia at JJ Pfister Distillery, with all of the teams opting to provide my company indoors (the more the merrier!).  I was happy to see a mix of new and returning faces among our teams tonight!  Questions tonight ranged from football movies to famed movie composer John Williams.  Our teams started off fairly evenly in the first round, but team We’ll Keep Trying started to break out from the pack in round two with a successful double or nothing.  Other teams gave them chase throughout the game, including The Walking Brain Dead, The Me Team, and Bruh.  Team Shawn managed to stage a comeback in our penultimate round, launching into second place.

In the end, We’ll Keep Trying managed to hold onto their first place spot while Team Shawn took second place.  Team Hanging With My Gnomies!  took the second to last place spot and won some JJ Pfister swag!  Come around on Thursdays at 6:30 for cocktails, food, and trivia!
