It's never a bad night to come down to Rasselbock. The food is great, the staff is amazing, and the parking is about as plentiful as anywhere else in Los Angeles. But Tuesday nights are especially great because, as I'm sure our loyal readers know by now, it's TRIVIA NIGHT!
This evening started like any other, with veteran teams eagerly awaiting the start of Round One. What surprised this QM, and many teams, were how many people decided to join after the game began. We started with 5 teams and ended with 9!
Even with the point deficit against them, these newcomers brought energy and fight to an already tightly contested race. Germans Love David Rasselbock of course returned to defend their crown, but Gruesome Twosome and Heroes of Canton weren't about to sit this one out.
The biggest surprise came during the Appetizer Round. With only two teams after just one round of memory mania, this QM thought the bout would end swiftly. Instead, the two champions kept going back and forth for nearly 10 minutes. In the end, both teams were awarded the delicious Potato Pancakes as a sign of their incredible talent.
Entering the final round of trivia, Germans Love David Rasselbock had a commanding lead. They'd doubled effectively and often, but their competition was closing in fast. It took one final double to put the nail in the coffin, ending this match with an outstanding score of 69 points!
Come on down to Rasselbock every Tuesday for the best Trivia in town!
An unbelievable night at Rasselbock, as these always seem to be. King Trivia brings out the best in people, and tonight appeared to be a couples only event!
8 teams of two sat down to a battle of wit and will, fighting for the top three spots in a hotly contested showdown.
A bonus for our players came during the Appetizer Round. In honor of National Donut Day, this Quizmaster brought in special prizes to hand out to those teams unlucky enough to miss out on some primo potato pancakes.
As we sped into Round 5, our top two spots were neck and neck. That pressure prompted one team to double down a bit too aggressively. They were unable to lock in a single point for two consecutive rounds. However, their intense performance in the first half of the competition left them sitting pretty in second place.
In the end, Germans Love David Rasselbock secured another victory, as well as accolades from their competitors.
Come on down to Rasselbock, where every Tuesday night is Trivia Night!
It was a Halloween themed night at Rasselbock and the teams were hungry for more than just trivia. That's why this crafty Quizmaster came stocked with a bucket of candy to keep these little monsters at bay. Even better, DJ Pandora had a whole mess of Halloween adjacent songs to keep the mood going.
Things stepped off quickly with our reigning champs the Gruesome Twosome jumping in the lead. Sassy Rufus, another veteran group, kept pace and overtook first place several times. It quickly became apparent that these two teams were in it for all the candy.
Meanwhile, newbies and veterans alike threw down in round after round of a spooky spectacular. Heroes of Canton and Boardwalk 11 battled for a place on the leaderboard, while newbies Buckers waited to show off their niche knowledge.
The appetizer round went to Sassy, but that made an opening for Gruesome Twosome to step in for the lead. Going into Round 6, it was a nail biter. Both Sassy and Gruesome landed perfect scores in Rounds 6...but neither chose to double down. It would be the deciding moment of the competition.
Newbie team Buckers went into Round 7 with a major deficit. Still, they managed to name 9 of 10 songs from Rock Horror Picture Show, gaining valuable points at the end of the show. In the end, Gruesome Twosome just had too big a lead to beat. Had Sassy doubled in six, however, they would have taken the night.
Another magnificent evening in the bag, and that's not even counting when DJ Pandora put on "I Want Candy" and EVERYONE went to the bucket to grab some fun-sized treats.
Come on down to Rasselbock every Tuesday at 9PM for King Trivia.
