Well, another Wednesday night King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills has come and gone. Want to hear about it? Well, here we go!

For the Drinking Round, teams had to send up a player from their team, who knew their movies and actors, to play a little game where the first person to go had to pick a movie or actor, and if they named a movie, the next person in the circle would have to name an actor in that movie, the next person would have to name another movie that actor had been in, and so on and so on. If someone couldn't think of an actor or movie, they would be out of the game. The last team standing would win the Drinking Round. Well it came down to Fetching Hat and Whiskey Dick, and Whiskey Dick won the Drinking Round and a round of shots for their team! Way to go!

Coming in third place was team Alternative Facts, who scored 64 points and won the $10 gift certificate! Woot woot! Check out their awesome winner's circle picture above where they reenacted the last supper!

Coming in second was team Liverpool who were kicking butt through the first 6 rounds, and in fact led by 12 points going into the final round. Unfortunately for them, they could only get 5 of the top 12 grossing Arnold Schwarzenegger films according to Box Office Mojo, and thus, finished with 83 points and took home the $20 gift certificate.

The team that beat them was team Hanky Panky who scored 86 points by successfully doubling down in the final round to win by 3 points! They scored 86 points and took home the 1st place prize! Way to go guys!

And that wraps it up for King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills on Wednesday night. I will see you next week for some more King Trivia!

No matter what is going on in your life, there's always a fun and well deserved break you can take from it at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills for King Trivia every Wednesday night! This past Wednesday was another fun escape for several quizzers hoping to seek their share of free shots, or a 20 or 30 dollar gift card.

For the drinking round, teams had to write down one question they would ask, if they could only ask one question to a potential hire, and they had to make a decision of whether or not to hire this person based on their answer to the one question. All submissions are posted above. Our winning team was The Failing New York Times, with their question, "Did you, or did you not collude with the Russians?" It was poingnant, relevant in current events, and made us chuckle. So they won the round of shots for their team.

Coming in second place were the always tough to beat Mighty Mighty Puffins, who only lost first place by one point. They scored 84 points and got every question right from round 1 to round 5, and they got the round 4 correct answer on the 10 point clue! Nevertheless, it was a great showing and they won a $20 gift certificate.

Coming in 1st place and beating out the Puffins by one point, thanks to successful double or nothings in rounds 2, 3, 5 and 6, were Hanky Panky! They unsuccessfully doubled down on the final round, but still had enough points to beat the Puffins and every other team in the bar, with 85 points after round 6. Way to go! Enjoy that $30 gift certificate!

And that wraps it up for this week's King Trivia recap for Pickwick's Pub! See you next Wednesday night for some more quizzing fun!

What a Wednesday! Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills was packed to the brim with quizzers of all different shapes and sizes! 75 people came out for another game of King Trivia!

For the drinking round, each team had to send up a player, who would have to race around half the bar with a pack of King Trivia answer booklets balanced on their head. If the pack fell off at all, that team would be out. Whichever team did it the fastest would win a round of shots.

A few teams had trouble keeping the stack of answer sheets on their heads and were quickly eliminated, but several teams were able to complete the task successfully. The first team to complete successfully was Hanky Panky, who did it in 17.54 seconds. The next team to complete the task was Nemesis, who did it in 15.17 seconds! Even faster still, were teams Hey Alexa, What Is..., Danimal Rules, and We Will Always Have Paris, who finished in 12.66 seconds, 11.01 seconds, and 10.44 seconds respectively. However, none of the teams were fast enough for the last team to go, the Sexy Butches, who finished in a lightning-fast 9.08 seconds, winning them the round of shots!! Awesome job!

In 3rd Place, scoring 68 points, was Diversity Poster, who successfully doubled down in rounds 2 and 5, helping them land the $10 gift certificate!

Coming in second place, helped by timely double downs in rounds 5 and round 7, scoring 69 points, (great score BTW), was Alternative Facts! They won a $20 gift certificate!

And last, but never least, our first place team, the Mighty Mighty Puffins! They successfully doubled down in rounds 1, 2, and 5, and scored 73 points! One $30 gift certificate left with them on Wednesday night!

Sound fun? Well, come on in to Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills every Wednesday night at 8pm for more King Trivia! Help control the pet population, have your pets spayed and neutered!
