- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
When you come for the baseball but stay for the trivia!
Marco Polo was the place to be for games on a Tuesday evening in Seattle. With the MLB All Stars game on, some of our local King Trivia all stars were gearing up for their own match. The usual MissFits were ready to play ball, and the Private Cousins made their return to the pitch, ready to strike out the other teams. But a guest all star team joined the game, and with a few homerun rounds (including a correct guess on the first clue of round 4), Quiz in Your Pants took the lead. It was the bottom of the 7th inning (round), the bases were full, and Private Cousins hit the ball out of the park with a second successful Double or Nothing play, giving Quiz in Your Pants a real run for their money. In the end, Quiz in Your Pants finished first.
Then it was onto the next activity: salsa dancing!

The MissFits finished their pool game to assume their usual spot playing trivia. The Bodi Boys entered the game with their Bodhis, because, what else? And by Round 3, the Zombie Sonics were resurrected, hoping to earn one of those prize gift cards.
In honor of the beautiful weather and the fire within the teams, guests at the bar offered up their best songs to have a bonfire to. To the tunes of Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, Dire Straits, and just a few Lenny Kravitz songs, the 3 teams fought for one of the top 3 prizes, all guaranteed to win, but not sure how much.
In the end, the MissFits left with the winning score and highest giftcard. But the Bodi Boys left with extra homework, which was to watch Point Break, the namesake of their team, so next time they could laugh with the host at all her genius Patrick Swayze/Keanu Reeves references.

Seattle is officially in “Juneuary” mode - which means we’re in our last little cold snap before it gets mega warm and sunny in July!! But that didn’t stop our regulars and a brand new team from heading out to trivia tonight!
We had our regulars Team Missfits joined by our newest regular team, Team Pyramid Scream here tonight. We had a brand new team, Team Nerdtastic as well, who were thrilled to play!
Round 1 resulted in a 3-way tie to start the game, with everyone going into Round 2 with 4 points. The game was back and forth, and Team Pyramid Scream pulled ahead in Round 5 when they found the connection, helping them get 8 points in that round.
Team Missfits absolutely stole the show though in Round 6! They’re sports aficionados and it was *their* moment. Not only did they get 10/10, but went Double or Nothing to shoot ahead to a 16 point lead.
The final question was a fun one, and I even made my own list without looking at the answers to see if I could have gotten it! Who knew Criminal Minds was on the list??? People love their crime and medical dramas!
In the end, I was happy to announce Team Missfits took home top prize on my last night hosting trivia. They’ve been here every week since the beginning, and we’ve become good friends in the process. I’ll certainly be back by to check in on everyone and say hello when I have the chance!
