Trivia Night Recap: The Battle of the Brainiacs (and Boozers)

Round One: It was a four-way tie right out of the gate as There’s No Crying in Trivia, KABAM!, The B-Sharps, and Hey Siri all flexed their general knowledge muscles. Turns out, knowing the capital of Mongolia and the chemical symbol for gold really sets you apart at parties.

Round Two: There’s No Crying in Trivia took sole possession of the lead, proving they know more about TV cousins than anyone should reasonably admit. Who knew the best way to dominate trivia night was a PhD in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” family tree?

Round Three: There’s No Crying in Trivia continued their sugar rush of success, this time conquering the sweet world of desserts and… beach activities? Nothing like pairing crème brûlée with a well-executed game of frisbee.

Round Four: Enter The B-Sharps, who swooped in like rockstars to steal the lead after correctly identifying Debbie Harry as the mystery person. Somewhere, Blondie is singing “One Way or Another,” and it’s about their inevitable victory.

Round Five: The B-Sharps stayed on top by crushing a “Find the Connection” round all about city nicknames. Who knew The Big Apple and The Windy City would be key to trivia domination? Meanwhile, Hey Siri was last seen yelling “Hey Siri, what’s the nickname for Cleveland?” into their phones.

Drinking Round: There’s No Crying in Trivia won the mid-game drink-fest by somehow remembering the name of the first web browser. Because nothing says “let’s take a shot” like shouting “MOSAIC!” at the top of your lungs.

Round Six: The B-Sharps kept the streak alive with an impressive showing in the “Match the Original Name to the Company” round. No one knows how they instantly linked “BackRub” to Google, but we suspect a time machine or dark magic.

Round Seven: The B-Sharps sealed their victory in the final round by proving they know way too much about Twilight characters and British royalty. Was Prince Harry actually Team Edward? We may never know.

At the end of the night, The B-Sharps were the ultimate trivia champions, There’s No Crying in Trivia won the drinking round, and Hey Siri is still trying to get their phones to answer questions for them. Until next time, folks—study up, drink responsibly, and never underestimate the power of useless knowledge!

See you all next week!

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.

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!
