Schilling Cider House was hopping on Monday night and the teams made the Quiz Master so proud by being good sports and all smiles, even when the "Guess Where?" answer did not turn out to be the Kremlin or Bonn or "that Russian Place". (Only two teams earned points that round).
Double or Nothings were the theme of the night. Touched by an Uncle and 20/20 Vision both successfully doubled twice, and Jigglypuff Puff Pass joined those teams when they all successfully doubled in Round 3.
That tICKLEd me.
What also tickled me was a member of Touched by an Angel who multi-tasked all evening by working on a traditional cross-stitch crafting project -- of a dumpster fire (see photo). Quiz Masters love presents. Just saying.
Jigglypuff Puff Pass went double in the final round and would have won the game if only they'd had ten correct answers. Sadly for them, Miami and Boston were not correct. Airports at the holidays can cause so much stress, am I right?
At the end, it was 20/20 Vision in First Place by 5 points.
Thanks everyone for an incredible night of trivia at Shilling. See you again next time!

STAR WARS
Episode trIVia - The Quiz of Skywalker
It is a period of trivial war. Fans, from casual to hardcore, have gathered to test their Star Wars knowledge against each other. Let the Wookie Win, a one-man team, came confident and ready to win. Keep Cloud City Weird, John Williams Fan Club, and Rebel Scum also gathered for this challenge. Happy Beeps situated themselves at the center of the cider house in their spectacular costumes. Some photos were taken prior to the start.
Introductions were made and the teams were ready. They were off to a good start in the first couple of rounds, getting a taste of the challenge before them. Happy Beeps took the lead, but close behind them were John Williams Fan Club and Keep Cloud City Weird. It was a close race to the finish between these three teams. In the "Guess Who" Round #4, John Williams Fan Club went in at the 10 point clue with the correct answer, taking the lead by 1 point. The next round, Happy Beeps caught up and were tied with them for the lead. At the end of Round #6, before the last round, it was very close battle between Happy Beeps (35 pts), John Williams Fan Club (34 pts), and Keep Cloud City Weird (33 pts).
During the battle, Rebel Scum managed to steal secret plans to the best team name. With the bar staff's unanimous vote, their name was armored with enough power to destroy the other team names. They were awarded with a gift card to Schilling Cider House.
Pursued by the two teams closely behind, Happy Beeps races home in Round #7, victors of the trivia night (by just 1 point ahead of John Williams Fan Club)! They saved their people and restored freedom to the galaxy.
Thank you Schilling Cider House & bar staff for hosting our King Trivia's Star Wars Trivia Event in Seattle! And to everyone who came out to play, with amazing sportsmanship and fun attitude. We had a blast. Until next time, may the force be with you.

The cider flowed and double-points were scored Monday night at Schilling Cider House. Jessica played along (unofficially) while tending bar and declared this week's Picture and Handout Rounds to be the most difficult in a long time. Jessica is camera shy, but Quiz Master Jim included a selfie this week if you can't live without seeing him. He's celebrating with this week's winning team - Tragic. Team Tragic did not live up to their name and were all smiles at the end.
Team Jigglypuff Puff Pass came in a close second and were the best of sports when they went Double or Nothing in the Theme Round and incorrectly guessed Abraham instead of Jacob for the 12 Tribes of Israel question. Their cutest member, whose name Quizmaster Jim neglected to record but who is pictured in this recap, named "Cerberus" the best answer of the evening.
Teams Dem Apples and and My Long Lost Appendix kept pace and kept the cider going. They also were part of a first for this Quiz Master and, according to Jessica, for Schilling Cider House. In one round, EVERY team went DOUBLE OR NOTHING and EVERY team had a perfect round. They did it by knowing all 8 Monopoly spaces that cannot be bought. It was a high risk moment of the game. Going into that final round, any team could have come in first.
Tragic was first this week. Next week (same tie, same place) -- it could be you!
