Trivia Recap: 7 Rounds and a Shot of Chaos

It was a night of intellectual combat, questionable confidence, and just enough alcohol to convince someone that John Travolta invented the telescope. Six teams entered. One team probably Googled “How to win trivia without actually knowing anything.” Let’s break it down round-by-round, like a sad piñata full of obscure facts.

Round One

Leaders: There’s No Crying in Trivia, KABAM!, The B Sharps, British Invasion

Subject: General Knowledge

This round was like the opening credits of a sitcom—everyone had their moment in the spotlight. Four teams shared the top, and for a minute it looked like we were headed toward a diplomatic trivia utopia. Then things got real.

Round Two

Leaders: The B Sharps, There’s No Crying in Trivia

Subject: Characters with Glasses

Vision was 20/20 for The B Sharps and There’s No Crying in Trivia, who clearly spent more time watching cartoons and Harry Potter than making friends in high school. Everyone else squinted in shame.

Round Three

Leader: There’s No Crying in Trivia

Subject: People Who Appear on Currency

Apparently this team moonlights as amateur numismatists. They identified presidents, poets, and one Canadian goose. Everyone else thought Sacagawea was just a camping gear brand.

Round Four

Leaders: KABAM!, British Invasion

Subject: Guessing John Travolta as the Mystery Person

In a wild twist, two teams managed to connect the dots between disco, Scientology, and Saturday Night Fever. The rest were still stuck guessing “Nicolas Cage” for every hint.

Round Five

Leader: There’s No Crying in Trivia

Subject: Find the Connection (Enneagram Personality Types)

There’s No Crying in Trivia found their inner selves—and everyone else’s. They solved the Enneagram puzzle faster than you can say “Type 7 with a wing of smug.”

Drinking Round

Winner: There’s No Crying in Trivia

Subject: Rain

Rain trivia? More like a monsoon of correct answers from our reigning champs. They soaked up the booze and the points, leaving everyone else drier than a British comedy.

Round Six

Leader: There’s No Crying in Trivia

Subject: Matching Round About One-Hit Musical Artists

They knew their Chumbawambas from their Baha Men. The rest of the teams learned that “Didn’t they also sing something else?” is never the right answer.

Round Seven

Leader: There’s No Crying in Trivia

Subject: Astronauts, and Florida

With a strange yet poetic combination of space travelers and swamp humidity, the final round was dominated once again by the trivia juggernauts. Clearly, they’ve been training for this with reruns of Jeopardy and Space Coast Live.

Final Verdict:

There may be no crying in trivia, but there was definitely no mercy either. Better luck next week, everyone. Bring tissues.

See you all next week!

Trivia Night Recap: The Battle of the Brainy and Boozy!

Nine teams entered, only one could claim the trivia throne. But before we get to the end, let’s relive the chaos, shall we?

Round One – General Knowledge, aka “How much random stuff do you know?” The Spicy Penguins came in hot, but Quizard of Oz clicked their heels three times and tied for first.

Round Two – Alliterative Name People. Turns out, Quizard of Oz knows their Pablo Picassos from their Lucy Lus, and they seized sole control of first place.

Round Three – Keys and Alicias. As the teams scrambled to recall how many famous people are named Alicia, Quizard of Oz continued their iron-fisted rule, making the competition look like an out-of-tune piano.

Round Four – The Mystery Round, featuring Wordle! The Spicy Penguins must have played their fair share of five-letter guesses because they tied Quizard of Oz for the top spot again. Meanwhile, Team Deez was heard muttering, “If only the answer had been ‘NUTS.’”

Round Five – A “Find the Connection” round all about basketball slang. The Spicy Penguins got dunked on, and Quizard of Oz kept their lead, proving they’re the MVPs of useless knowledge.

Drinking Round – Time for a boozy intermission! There’s No Crying in Trivia chugged their way to glory by proving they knew more about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches than anyone should reasonably admit. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of Quiz) tried to protest, but unfortunately, “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” was not an acceptable answer.

Round Six – Matching band members to their bands. Turns out, Quizard of Oz knows their Jaggers from their Hetfields, and they kept their grip on first place while EasyMoneySniper started to wonder if their name was a lie.

Round Seven – Happy Countries! The Quizard of Oz finished strong, proving that they not only know their trivia but also which countries have the most serotonin in their national GDP.

Tie Round – To break the 3rd place tie, it all came down to this: Sweet Dreams (Are Made of Quiz) versus The Spicy Penguins in a showdown over Lake Baikal - how low can you go? Apparently, Sweet Dreams can go really low, because they snatched the tie-breaker win. The Penguins waddled away in disappointment.

And that’s a wrap, folks! Quizard of Oz reigns supreme, There’s No Crying in Trivia is the PB&J chugging champion, and The Spicy Penguins are left wondering if they should rebrand to The Mildly Seasoned Penguins. Until next time, may your answers be correct and your drinks be strong!

See you next week!

Trivia Night Recap: KABAM! Takes No Prisoners

Round One: KABAM! blasted onto the leaderboard, proving they know their General Knowledge like the back of their trivia-loving hands. They correctly identified that Mount Rushmore is not in Canada, while Our Group Chat Leaked 🙁 lost points trying to argue that Pluto should still be a planet. Science says no.

Round Two: KABAM! held strong in Sayings Involving Animals, breezing through phrases about cats, cows, and canaries. Ingenious Geniuses struggled, confidently answering that “letting the cat out of the bag” means you need a new cat. Meanwhile, Gryffindor spent most of the round wondering why there weren’t any hippogriff-related idioms.

Round Three: Dentistry and Ads was no match for KABAM!, who successfully remembered which toothpaste prevents cavities and which mouthwash makes you undateable if you don’t use it. Gryffindor, however, insisted that the best dental product is butterbeer, which is, in fact, not ADA-approved.

Round Four: The mystery thing? Die Hard. And while KABAM! kept their lead by quickly cracking the clues, the real battle came when Our Group Chat Leaked 🙁 tried to start the debate—is Die Hard a Christmas movie? After a brief shouting match, the ruling was final: NO. IT IS NOT. Just because there’s a Christmas tree doesn’t make it festive, folks.

Round Five: Find the Connection – Steak and Beef Preparations! KABAM! once again beefed up their lead, sizzling through this round with well-done answers. Meanwhile, Ingenious Geniuses tried to claim that “rare” means “hard to find” and “well-done” means “congratulations.” Gordon Ramsay wept.

Drinking Round: A shift in power! Our Group Chat Leaked 🙁 finally got their moment of glory during the Fruit by the Foot Challenge! With a combination of strategy, tongue power, and sheer desperation, they outpaced everyone in scarfing down ridiculous amounts of fruit-flavored tape. KABAM! lost this round—possibly for the first time all night—because they were too busy laughing to chew.

Round Six: Back to domination as KABAM! reclaimed their throne in the Matching Round About Math Symbols. They successfully paired “>” with “our score vs. everyone else’s,” while Gryffindor tried to convince the host that “π” should be accepted in dessert form. Respectable, but incorrect.

Round Seven: Original Justice League Members & A League of Their Own Teams! KABAM! secured their win, proving they know their superheroes and their women’s baseball history. Meanwhile, Ingenious Geniuses accidentally merged the two, confidently answering that Batman played third base for the Rockford Peaches.

Final Score? KABAM! with the landslide victory! Everyone else? Victors in heart, spirit, and snack-based endurance. Until next time, keep your cats in their bags, your steak medium-rare, and your action movies out of Christmas. 🎤 drops mic

See you next week!
