QUIZ RECAP

Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish friends and trivia players!  Tuesday night was fun as co-host Chloe and I  took turns reading the questions.

Many teams started off strong with doubles in the first round. Things changed it up a bit in the second round, where only There's Always Next Year (formerly There's Always Next Week, but this is their last game until the new year) sailed ahead with a double.

The drinking round game was one of my personal favorites. People had to place a paper plate on their head and without looking draw the best Santa Claus. The goal was to be better than mine (mine is the first pic.) Whiskey Pretzels (the second picture) took first place in the drinking round, followed by There's Always Next Year and Nasty Women. You can see all the drawings after the team pics.

With There's Always Next Year squarely in first, it was a tie for second place going into the final round. Tequila Mockingbirds and Kids Table were once again trying to secure their spot in the top. Ultimately, 2nd place went to Tequila by 1 point! (this is the third time in a row they've been Kid's Table by 1 point).

QUIZ RECAP

Much fun was had on Tuesday at Pineapple Hill!

Round 1 started off strong for 5 teams with successful doubles.

Round 2, The Kids Table tried to move ahead with a double, but sadly didn't succeed. Tequila Mockingbirds, Viva la Vulva and No Reservations all had successful doubles.

Kid's Table redeemed themselves in Round 3 with a double. About 4 other teams doubled that round, but Tequila Mockingbirds were well in the lead by this point with a perfect game so far.

Things changed for them in Round 4, where they didn't get the answer on the 10 point clue. But I'ts Mueller Time and Kid's Table did! (It was Gary Oldman....for some reason I just love Gary Oldman).

Round 5, a whopping 7 teams doubled successfully!

For the drinking round, I had them write a holiday poem of any kind. The bouncer, Nick and I apparently have dirty minds because we thought the funniest was also the crassest, written by It's Mueller Time. I don't think most people appreciated it.

It's Mueller Time tried to come up from behind in Round 6 with a double, but sadly they missed only 1 answer.

Round 7 saw Tequila far in the lead, followed by Running with Caesars. Kid's Table and No Reservations vying for 3rd place. Ultimately the Kids were beat by one point, and No Reservations took that win.

QUIZ RECAP

This is my final game hosting Tuesday night trivia at Pineapple Hill and boy was it a close one! Spoiler alert: there were not one but TWO ties!

In Round 1, 8 teams started out strong with a double.

Situational Awareness must eat a lot of cereal, because they were the only ones to get every answer right in Round 2 (but they didn't double!). They were still ahead of the rest by at least two points.

Round 3 saw doubles by Tequila Mockingbirds, There's Always Next Week, Kidd's Table, Revolving Door, Nasty Women, Pen 15 and Hunker Downs. At this point Tequila and Kid's Table were tied for first place.

A whopping four teams got the Who Am I round on the 10 point clue. The rest waited until the 6 point clue.

Round 5 saw doubles by Running with Caesars, Tequila Mockingbirds, There's Always Next Week, and Kid's Table.

For the drinking round it was Name that Movie! I played a 30 second clip from the trailer of  movies such as Terminator, Braveheart, Usual Suspects, and Titanic to name a few. The team who got all 15 actually correct was Running with Caesars! Congrats to them on a rather difficult drinking round.

Kid's Table moved ahead into first place during round 6 by 2 points.

Going into the final round, it was still anyone's game. Kid's Table was up followed closely behind by Tequila Mockingbirds. There's Always Next Week was only 2 points behind Tequila, with Running With Caesars just 1 point behind them.

After the final round, we had to have a tiebreaker for third place. There's Always Next Week won and secured the third place spot. Then, there was a tie between Kids Table and Tequila Mockingbirds for 1st place. I asked how much Mother! made in the box office on it's opening weekend, and Tequila came closest with their guess of $800,000 (answer is $7 million) to win the game!
