QUIZ RECAP

A more intimate night, but we still brought the heat,

Fewer teams usually means fewer people to beat!

But the competition ramped up amongst friends turned foe,

And it was the battle of the regulars of Marco Polo.

Atomic split up into two different teams,

The healthy competition was building up steam.

Team Scratch and Sniff brought their massive crew,

And then the 3 MissFits, a group tried and true.

When the March Madness round first was announced,

The sporty folks jumped up off of the couch!

But instead it was our literary friends’ time to shine,

Answering swiftly and surely to come back from behind.

The rest of the game was a big back and forth,

With team Atomic pulling ahead in the Fourth.

But Scratch and Sniff got the Double or Nothing 

And from then on out they were simply crushing.

A more intimate night means we shared lots of laughs,

With your standard amount of right answers AND gaffes.

What are you doing next Tuesday at 8?

You’ll be at Marco Polo’s trivia, I promise, it’s GREAT!

Marco!!!! 

….

Polo!!

Another great trivia night at my favorite Seattle dive bar - Marco Polo!

Lori and Don of Team Missfits were shooting pool when I arrived and assured me they were bringing their game faces this evening. And they absolutely did!! They were right in second place for almost the entire game. 

Our strong regulars Scratch and Sniff didn’t have Team Goblins to go up against this week and totally thrived. Don’t tell the Goblins this, but they probably would have smoked them even if they were here! Or do tell them, we love some healthy competition! 😉

I did have a bit of a giggle when someone thought Tucker Carlson was a news anchor for MSNBC. Can you imagine!! Perhaps the world would be a better place if he switched sides… 

Also - the classic Gershwin Brothers/Doobie Brothers mixup happened! Every time! You can barely even tell them apart, hehe. 😉

In the end, Scratch and Sniff took home the win, but we had a heart-pounding tie breaker for 2nd and 3rd! Team Missfits managed to maintain their second place lead, Private Cousins swung into 3rd, and we all had an absolute blast!!

Another great trivia night at Marco Polo! 

I was greeted immediately upon entry by Team Missfits who are a staple at trivia nights now! It’s so fun getting to know them.

We had quite a few people hanging out tonight that decided to join us for the first few rounds of trivia. 

My favorite response was when Team Slaying accidentally mixed up Bono and Mariah Carey. Whoopsie!! As the self-described “queer team” (and all my best friends) they were ashamed to miss this one. It’s okay, they got Kinky Boots correct so they saved face. Their words, not mine! 😉 

As an Atlanta native, I always love coming across a question that features a hometown hero. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many people up here in the Pacific Northwest knew who Killer Mike and Run The Jewels are! 

I don’t have control of the music here at Marco Polo, but there is a jukebox where folks can select music and I was so excited to hear someone put on Run The Jewels after that question! They saw how excited I was and I consider that a pretty solid tip.

Team Damn Son had no problem making the connection in Round 5, but the other teams did a fantastic job on the first 9 questions. 

All in all, Team Slaying took home the top prize but our most involved teams all got top 3!
