It was a quiet and intimate evening at Rasselbock, but that didn't stop these seven teams from coming in ready to play. When the clock struck 9, the showdown began for total trivia domination.
Veterans Heroes of Canton and High Diggers squared off against the newer foes from Gruesome Twosome and Phoebe Waller-Quiz. Newbie teams Unicorns, Tru, and Fickle Mistresses arrived hungry for victory...and the famous Rasselbock pretzels.
Every round brought a new leaderboard. GT went up early, but Canton and High Diggers refused to be left behind. Double Downs were thrown, scores leapt and fell, and suddenly we had a real soiree on our hands.
A much-needed respite came during the appetizer round. Since it was National Fluffernutter Day, we went down a journey through history to see who knew the most about the greatest sandwich ever invented. Heroes of Canton emerged victorious, earning the delicious potato pancakes.
As we reached the final round, the top three teams were within spitting distance of one another. It came down to basketball knowledge. Based on the shocked expressions when the question was asked, this would prove a challenge for every team.
In the end, Gruesome Twosome maintained their lead by the skin of their teeth, taking home the big V.
Come on down to Rasselbock every Tuesday at 9 PM!
Oktoberfest is in the air, and the teams at Rasselbock are feeling the spirit. Nine groups of hungry and thirsty players showed up ready to drink beer and play trivia, and they'd already ordered their beer.
Every round was an all-out slugfest, with the top three positions trading places after every question set. It was impossible to know just how the game would end up, even going into the final few rounds.
Survey Slam was, as always, a tremendous success as an Appetizer Round treat. Players certainly knew a thing or two about Boston, although their selections for historical drinking buddies could have used another guess.
In the final round, when it was announced that Math Class was a factor, the teams joined together in groaning their dismay. This Quizmaster is not too proud to say he cackled audibly at that. Still, the questions must be asked and answers must be given.
When the dust settled after seven rounds, veteran team Heroes of Canton took the top prize, with Sassy Capri and Kobayashi Maru settling their differences with a tie-breaker question.
Come on down to Rasselbock every Tuesday for King Trivia, and don't miss out on the Oktoberfest action every Friday and Saturday!

It's Oktoberfest at Rasselbock, so you know what that means: Trivia was off the chain, hook, grid--and the wagon.
9 teams arrived, from veterans to brand new groups, bringing with them a hunger for giant pretzels, delicious schnitzel, and seven rounds of quiztastic trivia.
We got things started with a few easy rounds, lulling the competitors into a false sense of security. Then we brought the heat with Round 3, letting these teams know the Revolution might not be televised but it would certainly lead a mark.
The Appetizer Round included a brand new game based off the traditional German Koffer Packen. Team had to memorize an ever-increasing list of items going into some luggage (it's more fun than it sounds, especially after a few boots of beer). With the carbs secured for one team, we went into the back stretch.
Here, our newbies Gualala shined. They went hard after a few questions, taking risks veteran teams might not have, climbing high into the leaderboard. When it came down to the final three, they were too far ahead to catch.
In the end, however, it was the raucous and righteous group of Hunter Biden's Ukrainian Sex Party that came with the firepower to win. They took the lead in the last two rounds, holding on for the big W at the end.
Come on down to Rasselbock, where every Tuesday night at 9 is Trivia Night.
