Another Wednesday night at Pickwick's Pub for King Trivia has come and gone. Another fun night was had by all.

For the drinking round, teams had to name a major league baseball team and a romantic comedy. If a player couldn't name both in 5 seconds, he or she was buzzed out and had to sit down. The last man standing would be the winner,  and that last man was Alt + S or Be Sent, who was playing by himself all night long! Way to go sir!

In third place for the night were the Renaissance Women who scored 55 points. They started off the game taking the lead in the second round, but were overtaken in round 6 by two other teams.

One of those teams was The Tinmens, who scored 61 points and took second place.  They were tied for first place after round 6, but scored 1 less on the final round and wound up in second.

The Mighty Mighty Puffins were that other team.  They scored 8 points on the final round edging out The Tinmens by one point for a final score of 62 points and the first place prize!

See you next Wednesday for some more King Trivia action!

To the tune of Semi Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind:

Do do do, do do do do, do do do, do do do do

I'm back and I'm posting,

your smiling, King Trivia, im hosting,

and you played for free,

the winners deserve an ovation,

3 prizes were the motivation,

you came round to Pickwick's with your team,

and I made you smile,

like a host is supposed to do,

do ever what you want to do on Picture Round number 2,

answers coming easily to you,

keep on smiling while you play through,

one succesful double down will easily exalt you,

and answers speak to you like the chorus to a verse,

think about those answers with your team and converse,

and if you win your team surely will rage,

I come up with the drinking rounds to play, you said,

You want nothing else,

than to live this,

King Trivia kind of life,

baby, baby, you want nothing else,

I hope you're listening when I say,

you won the first place prizeeeeeeeee!

 

Lol ok enough clowning around....

Wednesday night at Pickwick's Pub was another awesome night with a packed bar full of nerds ready to win prizes.

For the drinking round teams had to come up with a haiku of any topic, but team Alright Alright Alright killed it with their celebrity haiku:

Mcconnaghey says,

It'd be cooler of you did,

I love my Lincoln

 

With that, they won a round of shots!

In 3rd place were The Mighty Mighty Puffins with a high score of 70 points, but not enough to take home 1st or second. They led the night all the way through round number 4, but ultimately, a succesful double down by the Survivors in round number five put them in the lead. However, The Survivors would only take home 2nd place with 76 points. That's because they too were done in by a succesful double down, make that two succesful double or nothings by team Hanky Panky in rounds number 6 and 7 to give them the first place victory with 89 points! Way to go guys!

See you next week for more King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills on Wednesday night.

P.S. Sorry for kicking old school with that 90s parody song!

Wow! Wednesday night's at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills for King Trivia has been blowing up lately! In fact, if you aren't there now, you're probably in the minority! FOMO must not affect you. Well I was there so let me tell you about it....

For the drinking round each team had to make paper airplanes out of a half sheet of paper. Whichever team's plane was able to avoid obstacles and fly the farthest would win a round of shots for their team. Well the Survivors took the first place prize with their playing flying from the back of the bar to feet from the front door of the bar. Pretty impressive guys! See some video for a partial look at last night's drinking round HERE!

Coming in 3rd place and winning the $10 gift certificate were the Mighty Mighty Puffins, who like most weeks, were leading the game up until the final round. With two other teams successfully doubling on the final round and the Puffins only scoring 9 points on the final round, they were bumped into third place with a still impressive 63 points.

One of the teams that jumped the Puffins to steal 2nd place was Hanky Panky. They got off to a slow start and were actually near the bottom until round 6 and 7 when they successfully doubled in both rounds to score 40 points in the final 2 rounds alone! With that, they ended up in 2nd place with a total of 64 points, only one point higher than the Puffins.

And if course, for first place, Bristol Fashion was able to score 71 points.

 

That concludes the recap. Come on out to Pickwick s Pub in Woodland Hills for King Trivia next Wednesday night and every Wednesday night for that matter at 8:00. See you there!
