QUIZ RECAP

An epic night at Rasselbock as ten teams descended on the restaurant to compete in a battle of wits. Returning to the field was a veteran team, Gruesome Twosome, eager to reclaim their throne. Defending champs the Heroes of Canton were ready and willing to defend their title. Newbies from all over the city arrived to stake their own claims.

It was a battle foretold in legend.

The evening started quietly, with teams earning a modest spread of points throughout the first few rounds. A few eager doubles cost some of the newer teams, but one group managed to set themselves apart: Large Boulder the size of a Small Boulder. Within only a few rounds, they'd taken a spot in the leaderboard and held fast.

The appetizer round was very special in honor of National Kazoo Day. QM Adam put on an impromptu Kazoodle Performance, challenging the teams to "name that tune" based on hits from the last decade. While many teams rose to the challenge, Heroes of Canton took the top spot with a perfect score.

As with many games, it came down to the final moments. Heroes landed a perfect score in Round 6...but opted against a double! Gruesome felt their lead slip further and further away as a few rounds went sideways. Large Boulder continued a full court press toward the top 3.

As the dust settled on Round 7, Gruesome Twosome secured their victory and earned the top mark for their returning game. Large Boulder made an epic showing at second, with Heroes at third.

This was an absolute barn-burner! Six teams entered, scores were had, and a three-way-tie was settled. Just another night at Rasselbock? Anything but.

The evening started as per usual, with teams throwing out a scattering of answers to the softball opening questions. Things heated up fast with some fairly difficult pictures and themes, leaving most of the teams scrambling to break double digits. Heroes of Canton held an early lead that seemed insurmountable.

Something changed after the Appetizer Round. Since it was National Granola Bar day, we had the teams come up with a clever pick-up line that somehow used the healthy(?) treat.

The winners, Lucky Krauts, introduced us to: "Buy me a drink and I'll show you my Nature's Valley (TM)."

Suddenly, the entire mood of the room shifted. Veteran team Leche del Padre seemed to step outside of themselves and enter a Nirvana of Trivia. They'd been around for months, always taking fourth or fifth to the larger teams.

Not tonight, they said.

In Round 6, they managed to jump ahead of their competition and into 2nd place, putting the other teams on their heels. They followed with another six points, bringing their score to 37.

But the Heroes of Canton also landed on 37. As did newcomers Nicola's Groomsmen.

We had a 3-way split for the entire leaderboard!

It came down to a little Twinkie knowledge. With the tie-breaker--and all the marbles--on the line, Leche laid down a guess that was only 20 points away from the actual answer. Since we go by Price is Right rules, they took the top spot!

Come on down to Rasselbock for great food, great people, and great Trivia every Tuesday night!

Another Tuesday night, another incredible game of King Trivia at Rasselbock. At 9PM, the antique Cuckoo Clock in the corner chimes and announces the start of the game (Note: The clock doesn't actually chime, or if it does, you can't hear it over the sound of such a rowdy group of quizzers).

While three teams arrived to start the show, their energy was too infectious to ignore. A group of passersby threw themselves into the gridiron after missing the first two rounds, confident they could make up the gap and win it all.

With the champions assembled, we got down to the nasty business of quizzin' it up.

Heroes took an early lead, but Sassy Rufus wanted their return to the hallowed Rasselbock halls to be momentous. With a few careful doubles, they secured a top spot and refused to budge.

Newcomers See You Next Trivia struggled a little with the early rounds, but quickly learned the ins and outs of the game. They were so prepared they took home the Appetizer Prize, roaring in delight as the famous potato pancakes landed on their table.

Round six was the deciding factor, as two teams scored perfectly but failed to capitalize on a 20-point opportunity. This decision left the leaderboard fixed going into the final round.

After the dust settled, Sassy Rufus held their first place prize high overhead, while Heroes plotted their revenge.
