Halloween trivia was a smash at The Bungalow! Thirteen (ooh, how spooky!) laughed and learned through seven rounds of trivia. Our players started off hot with several teams successfully deploying the double or nothing option right off the bat, allowing nearly a quarter of the teams to finish round 1 with 12 points. 

The picture round stumped more teams than I would have imagined, but the Halloween theme round helped many teams redeem their ranking.

My favorite round, round 4 Guess Who, stumped them again. No team submitted an answer at the 10 point option, but teams started answering - some correctly - at the 6 pointer.

Find the Connection allowed our teams a chance to shine as many of them found the CLUE and solved the mystery connection between questions 1-9 in round 5.

The crowd at the Bungalow might not be political pundits as matching the president to his slogan proved challenging for many. Some might say that round 6 was a bunch of malarchy!

As we entered the final round, the scores were neck and neck for a handful of the night's top performers. Our LA-based audience donned their virtual Mickey ears and had to identify all the lands at Disneyland Park. Some teams successful doubled launching them toward the top of our leader board.

As the teams sat at the edge of their seats for me to read off the final standings, a roar erupted when there was a tie for third. We launched our second-ever tie-breaker round at The Bungalow trivia between regulars, I Lost My Virginity At, and newcomers, Monster Mash. Maybe it was beginner's luck as Monster Mash pulled off the victory claiming third place.

it was a terrific night of trivia and I'm already excired for next week!

Spooky Szn has reached the Bungalow Santa Monica! The patio is covered in ghoulish decor. Goblins, zombies and creatures from your nightmares alight upon railings and ledges, and lurk in corners. The west coast sunset was diminished by artificial red, orange and purple lights that illuminated SM's spookiest haunt. 

The tricks and treats crept inside the main bar area where, fortunately, trivia didn't scare anyone away. Our teams barreled through seven rounds of questions, seated on couches and chairs beneath rafters covered in cobwebs and a blood stained canoe. 

The Halloween decor at The Bungalow is a mastermind's marvel, which complimented our mid-October trivia contest. We dimmed the lights while we summoned only the brightest minds. 

Flying High, a group of coworkers, nabbed the top spot. Longtime top competitors I Lost My Virginity At came in second and newcomers and personal team name favorites, I'm Going Down I'm Yelling Kimber, places third. 

The Halloween ambiance was strong tonight, but is sure to be even more amplified next week! I might even come in costume. Will you?

Week 4 of trivia at the bungalow was another sensation! 18 teams battled it out through 7 rounds of exhilarating trivia 

 

I have to say, I think this was my favorite week so far! The teams were all so engaged and loved my jokes 😉 I did not expect the "boos" when I said I was feeling gracious and accepted Honey Nut Cheerios AND Cheerios. But it was all in good fun!

Rob Johnson came out on top and the next two top teams were newcomers so we loved having some new faces at the Bungalow x Nosotros podium.

Our regular champs, I Lost My Virginity At, had a rough night and landed much lower than expected, while my brother and his friends surprised me! 

It's always a hoot and a half for trivia at The Bungalow. Join us!
