Ah, can you smell that? Smells like a few of my favorite things. Apple cider...crisp leaves...a high-scoring game of triv...and all your regular teams. 

Y'all Motherfuckers Need Science made a triumphant return, finishing first with a whopping 66 points. Their scientific knowledge served them well through multiple rounds of double or nothing.

Speaking of doubles, twins, twos, seconds, Scratch and Sniff continued their not-quite-winning streak with a high scoring game just 4 points shy of our winners. This team keeps getting sharper every week, so they're one to watch...will they pull it off in October?

Last (place) but not least, former champs and current suckups Natalie's Favorites got a little bit of a downgrade this week. Despite their valiant 45-point effort, and despite all of them being lovely people, winners like winners. Maybe next time, Natalie's (now-second) Favorites

All in all, a wonderful night to be a Quizmaster. Hope to see you next Tuesday!

Always nice to see some fresh faces at Tuesday night triv, and we had two new teams come out to play this week! 

Team Hitt Squad finished out their first game with an overall score of 21: good enough for the Blackjack tables, but a little shy of a trivia victory. Regardless, they collected a prize for their last place finish. Here's hoping they'll be back soon for a rematch!

Perrenial second-placers and eternal great sports Scratch and Sniff continued their silver-medal streak this week, with a hard-fought 45 points. Only three points off the lead...can they make it a gold next week?

And last but certainly not least, newbies TUI (Trivia Under the Influence) pulled ahead early and showed off their skills (or was it beginners' luck?) with a 48-point, first place win.

Excellent work to all this week! 

Reading this and feeling a little trivia envy? You know what they say-- if you can't beat us, join us. Tuesday night. 8pm. Marco Polo Bar and Grill. See you there!

It's that time of the season when the leaves start turning, the days get shorter, and it becomes impossible to coax a Seattleite out of their natural habitat. As such, it was a quieter night for trivia -- but that didn't stop us from having a great time! 

One group of returning players (and eventual winners) tested a new "butter up the quizmaster" strategy with a name change to Natalie's Favorites. Did it help their case? I'm not one to admit to collusion, but it didn't hurt...lucky for them, they also displayed some impressive trivia chops as well.

Taking it home in second / last place were new players  Gravy, who finished the game, then made like their name and...dipped...before they were able to collect their prize. Hats off to this team for a great game AND a flawless French exit; you have to respect a double threat. 

 

Next week's forecast is looking like rain, so get your umbrellas ready, Seattle!* We'll be waiting for you inside the warm, dry, and well stocked Marco Polo for a rematch!

 

*Disclaimer: anyone carrying an umbrella to next week's game will be immediately identified as a tourist and heckled accordingly.
