QUIZ RECAP

Here’s your recap of the trivia night, packed with drama, upsets, and just the right amount of drinking-induced chaos:

Round One: There’s no crying in trivia took the early lead, proving they could indeed keep it together under pressure. The General Knowledge round separated the brainiacs from the people who think “Einstein” is just a bagel company.

Round Two: KABAM! exploded onto the leaderboard after dominating the SNL 50 Celebs picture round. Turns out, knowing your old and new cast members really is a valuable life skill. Who knew?

Round Three: A Month of Sundays took control after a round where celebrity names were flipped like pancakes. If you didn’t guess that Cruise Tom and Johansson Scarlett were totally real people, better luck next time.

Round Four: Still riding high, A Month of Sundays guessed Charlotte, North Carolina, as the mystery city, while other teams confidently answered “Houston” or “Paris” (y’all, really?).

Round Five: A Month of Sundays crushed the “Find the Connection” round about Palms, proving they know their trees, hands, and casino decor. Meanwhile, Hand Solo felt personally attacked.

Drinking Round: The SmarterPhone challenge put everyone’s motor skills and dignity to the test, but A Month of Sundays took home the win. Whether it was skill, strategy, or just better alcohol tolerance, we may never know.

Round Six: A two-horse race emerged as There’s no crying in trivia and A Month of Sundays tied for first after a sci-fi episode title matching round. If you knew your “Star Trek” from your “Twilight Zone,” you were golden. If not, you were probably still arguing whether “The Trouble With Tribbles” was an Outer Limits episode (it wasn’t).

Round Seven: The same two teams held onto their lead in a round about spices, proving they know their cumin from their cardamom. Somewhere, a cinnamon challenge survivor wept.

With two teams tied for first, we then went into...

Tie-Breaker: The ultimate showdown between There’s no crying in trivia and A Month of Sundays came down to one final question about the Cretaceous Period. There’s no crying in trivia emerged victorious, proving that, much like the dinosaurs, the competition didn’t stand a chance.

MVP of the night? Probably the bartender who kept everyone hydrated between rounds.

QUIZ RECAP

Trivia Night Recap: The Battle of the Brainiacs!

Round One: The Con-Quiz-tadors came out swinging with a Double, proving that their knowledge is as general as it is dangerous. Seven teams entered, but only one took the early lead. The rest? Just happy to be there.

Round Two: The Con-Quiz-tadors continued their reign, absolutely smitten with their ability to identify celebs with romantic-sounding names. Turns out, they know their Loves, Harts, and Valentines better than their own family members.

Round Three: The Con-Quiz-tadors somehow conquered a round about both famous Alices and trains. Are they well-read? Rail enthusiasts? Just good guessers? We may never know, but we do know that Tin Cups are officially on track to being left behind.

Round Four: The Con-Quiz-tadors stayed on top after successfully identifying the mystery person as Anna Kendrick. Did they know it from the subtle clues, or did they just scream her name until it worked? Either way, it’s Cups all over again.

Round Five: The Con-Quiz-tadors shaped their way to another victory in a Find the Connection round about ice formations. Spheres, cubes, crushed—it didn’t matter. At this point, their lead was solid, while the other teams were just trying to avoid a meltdown.

Drinking Round: KABAM! exploded onto the scene by nailing the closest guess to the year the heart-shaped chocolate box first debuted. Who knew their true talent was in historical candy packaging? They may not be leading the game, but they’re definitely leading the bar tab.

Round Six: There’s no crying in trivia stormed to the top in a TV Villains matching round. The Con-Quiz-tadors were officially dethroned, proving that even the biggest trivia juggernauts can meet their demise at the hands of fictional bad guys.

Round Seven: There’s no crying in trivia sealed the deal, showing an impressive grasp of Arab nation states. The Con-Quiz-tadors put up a valiant fight, but by the end, they were con-quizzed out. The other teams? Just happy to have made it through without embarrassing themselves too badly.

And with that, trivia night was over. Drinks were spilled, egos were bruised, and KABAM! will never forget the year Richard Cadbury changed the Valentine’s Day game forever.

See you all next week!

QUIZ RECAP

A rowdy, 6-team showdown of supreme smarts (and occasional lucky guesses) went down in an epic 7-round slugfest, plus a booze-fueled battle royale in between. Let’s see how the night unfolded:

Round One: Right out of the gate, My date went to another trivia and KABAM! shared the lead, proving they had broad knowledge across the board. They dominated General Questions, which is impressive considering one of them was clearly nursing emotional wounds.

Round Two: KABAM! stormed ahead solo, flexing their brainpower identifying black intellectuals. Apparently, they’ve been paying attention in class—or just watched a lot of documentaries narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.

Round Three: KABAM! remained on top, conquering an oddly specific combo of music documentaries and coins. Turns out, they know their quarters AND their Questlove. Coincidence? We think not.

Round Four: KABAM! continued their reign, breezing through GUESS WHO (Audrey Hepburn) like they grew up in a Breakfast at Tiffany’s bootcamp. Somewhere, a fashionably dressed ghost whispered, “Darling, I’m impressed.”

Round Five: KABAM! once again proved unstoppable, this time annihilating a category where every answer connected to The Manhattan Project. Either they’re nuclear physicists or they’ve been secretly preparing for this moment their entire lives.

Drinking Round: This was where things got really intense. The Bootyrunners clinched victory on a Super Bowl question, sending the crowd into a frenzy. But that wasn’t enough—they had to throw down in an epic Roshambo (rock-paper-scissors) duel against My date went to another trivia. After a legendary back-and-forth, the Bootyrunners emerged victorious, their livers slightly worse for wear but their spirits (and alcohol levels) soaring.

Round Six: The momentum shifted! The Spicy Penguins snatched the lead with their bizarrely deep knowledge of animal leg count. No one knows why they knew exactly how many legs a scorpion, a kangaroo, and a certain species of centipede have, but they did, and they made it count. Seriously? Five legs on a red kangaroo?

Round Seven: The Spicy Penguins held onto their lead, expertly navigating the biblical madness of the 10 plagues of Egypt. Frogs? Got it. Darkness? Easy. Rivers of blood? Child’s play. Their uncanny familiarity with biblical devastation sealed their win, leaving the rest of the teams to wonder if they should start studying ancient texts or just accept their defeat.

In the end, The Spicy Penguins reigned supreme, but all the teams left with their heads high, their glasses empty, and their dignity mostly intact. Cheers to another night of legendary trivia! 🍻

See you all next week!
