Temperatures cooled down slightly today in the Bay Area but the competition heated up tonight at Pualista’s Brazilian Kitchen and Taproom, as nine teams came out to play some King Trivia. The Jon Snows started strong making a statement in Round 1 General Knowledge questions with a bold double or nothing gamble that gave them an early lead. They would not relinquish that lead the entire evening and they ended up our victors (and winners of the $25 gift card to Paulista’s). The battle for second place came down to Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number and Not Dead Last with Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number earning the $15 Pualista’s gift card thanks to their knowledge of the U.S. states that have joined the union since 1889.
The rest of the teams kept Paulista’s rocking all night, as there were multiple cheers of joy (and gasps of regret) after hearing the correct answers. Thanks everyone for coming out and contributing to the fun. Until next time

Seven spirited teams capped off the holiday weekend playing King Trivia at Paulista’s Brazilian Kitchen and Taproom tonight. Team Benchpress pulled ahead for the early lead after the first few rounds, but as the night went on Chips Ahoy and Old School caught up and we had a three way tie for first place as we went into the final round. The tension was palpable.
The final question asked how many of the ten most popular dog breeds of 2020 can you name. After the teams racked their collective minds…Chips Ahoy edged out a one point victory for the evening (and the $25 Pualista’s gift card). Team Benchpress and Old School ended up tied after the final round, which meant we had to go to a tie-breaker to settle second place. Old School had a closer answer for the tie-breaker question and were awarded the silver medal (and the $15 Pualista’s gift card).
Thanks to all the teams that came out tonight for playing with such fun energy and spirit. Until next time

It was a packed house at Paulista’s Brazilian Kitchen and Taproom as 13 teams chose to come out to enjoy a perfect summer night playing King Trivia. The teams jockeyed for the top positions during the first few rounds, but then The Crew, Team Benchpress, and Age ain’t nothing but a number started to pull away.
These three teams were within two points of each other going into the Final Round where The Crew (our defending champs) were able to finish it off with the win for the evening (and the $25 Paulista’s gift card) with their expert knowledge of foreign languages. Team Benchpress also performed well in the Final Round and they were able to eek about second place (and the $15 Pualista’s gift card) by one point over Age ain’t nothing but a number
Thanks to all the teams that came out to play tonight, and special thanks for indulging my signing during the Handout Round. Until next time
