I went to see the movie Game Night earlier this week, and in the opening scene of the movie, the two main characters, played by Rachael McAdams and Jason Bateman, meet while playing bar trivia! It's safe to say this whole bar trivia thing is pretty damn popular!

And it was completely evident at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills on Wednesday night for King Trivia as more than 70 players packed into the tiny pub!

For the drinking round, players had to move empty soda cans from one table to another using a stick of dry spaghetti in their mouth. Whover transferred all 4 cans the fastest would win the drinking round and a round of shots for their team. Watch a youtube video of the game here: https://youtu.be/tD2Dyezo_WA With 28.38 seconds, the Ranch Queens won the shots! Way to go!

In a rare 3rd place, the usual 1st place team the Mighty Mighty Puffins took home the $10 gift certificate this time scoring 55 points.

Finally breaking into the winner's circle, Diversity Postcard (a smaller Diversity Poster team) scored 58 points and took home the 2nd place prize, a $20 gift certificate! Good job Diversity Postcard!

And finally, in 1st place, team Sandy Nachos killed it, scoring 76 points for the win! They were the only team to successfully double down in 3 rounds, helping them secure the victory! Most impressive Sandy Nachos!

Other notables, it was a player named Chris's birthday on Wednesday night, so Happy Birthday again Chris!

That concludes Wednesday night's King Trivia recap at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills! See you next Wednesday! Help control the pet population, have your pets spayed or neutered!

T'was a more intimate night of King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub on Wednesday night. It was cold outside, but nice and warm inside the bar.

For the Drinking Round, each team sent one player to play. The game, darts. Butttttt, players had to throw with their non-dominant hands. They each got three tries, and the one that was the closest to the bullseye would win the round of shots for their teams. Team Ruf went first and set the bear high with the first dart thrown ending maybe an inch to an inch and a half away from the bullseye. No one else got that close until the last player to go, from team Feel The Rhythm, Feel the Rhyme through their last dart, which ended up a half an inch or less from the bullseye. Since they were the last team to go, and they got the closest to the bullseye, they won the shots! Talk about Clutch!

In Second Place, Dog Mama's and Papas, scored 49 points. They started the night with a successful double or nothing in Round 1, and led the game through Round 6. But in the final round, our winning team took over the lead! Nice try regardless!

Bet you can't guess which team were the lead stealers for first place.... Oh you guessed the Mighty Mighty Puffins? Then I owe you 2 quarters. They stole the lead right out from the Dog Mama's and Papas paws! The Puffins scored 51 points to just edge out the DM&Ps in the final round, and all withoit any Double or nothing's! Way to go guys!

That does it for Wednesday's King Trivia night at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills! See you next week!

What's that? You're ready for yet another recap of Wednesday night's King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills? Ok! You've got it!

About 10 teams and about 40 people came to play trivia on Wednesday night hoping to win some gift certificates or shots!

For the drinking round, teams had to compete to see who could stack the solo cups into a pyramid and then put them all back into 1 stack the fastest (pictures above). Coming in 1st with 17.57 seconds were the Mighty Mighty Puffins, who were the first team to play the drinking round! Way to set the bar!

The Puffins also rocked first place as well scoring 70 points to reign supreme as the big winners of the night! 2 successful double or nothing's in rounds 1 and 2 kept them ahead of the pack the whole night.

Coming in a close second place with 65 points was team Ctrl + S or Be Screwed! They doubled successfully in rounds 3 and 5 but just came up 5 points short of the Puffins! Nice try guys! Way to win the $20 gift certificate!

And last but not least, because there were other teams that scored less than our 3rd place team, Diversity Poster scored 58 points and a $10 gift certificate!

You can see all the winning team smiling faces and some shots of the drinking round competition above!

See you next Wednesday night for some more King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills!
