After a two week hiatus, I was thrilled to be back with my peeps at The Dudes Brewing Co. Santa Monica! It's hard to believe I've been hosting King Trivia for more than 6 months now. It's such a fun experience. I love connecting with the regulars, meeting new players and encouraging them to come back the next week.

Big thank you to Quizmaster Madeline for subbing in the past two weeks! I read her recaps and saw that she made her hosting debut at The Dudes. Small world as I did the same!

Trivia on 2/27 was a blast. We had 11 teams for most of the evening, with more than 40 highly-engaged players. Our top three teams received certificates to The Dudes and they were VERY well received!

A highlight of the evening was that the bar staff played as they served delicious libations and delectable food. They took a notepad to the counter and would run back their submissions when able. I was most impressed when they were able to correctly name 9 out of 10 Shakespeare tragedies (round 7 asked for 10 of the 12 tragedies). They got the most titles correct of any team, but unfortunately they gambled and marked Double or Nothing so they got zero, when they could have gotten nine!

With sunlight lingering around a bit longer and spring right around the corner, I can't wait to see who joins us for our next installment of King Trivia here in Santa Monica. See you Thursday!

Wonderful night at the Dudes! Ended with 9 teams this time around, but all were invested and stoked to play trivia. These last two weeks I have loved seeing the energy of this venue and the love for trivia! This includes the staff as well, who have helped me feel welcome.

New King Trivia prizes! 1st place winner receives 4 $5 Dudes' coupons, 2nd receives 3, and 3rd receives 2. Happy to be going back to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places prizes as opposed to just one 1st place. And people were excited to receive them -- it'll bring them back to trivia for sure!

We had Don't Forget to Vote and Turds of Prey neck and neck up until the "Guess Who?" round, in which Don't Forget to Vote guessed the wrong name when they handed the slip in at 10 points! Exciting for Turds of Prey to guess correctly at 6 points, which shows that even if you think you know the answer at 10 points you really never know!! After that, even though the two teams were often close, Turds of Prey came in with a win!

We had a tie for 2nd and 3rd! I had the two teams guess the tiebreaker question provided, and both guessed pretty low compared to the actual answer of 2,300,000 blocks. However, Don't Forget to Vote did guess closer, so they claimed 2nd place prize and MM-Back, frequent Dudes' trivia players, snagged 3rd. Everyone was happy!

I've had a GREAT two weeks hosting trivia here! Will miss this venue, and I hope to come back another time!

My first ever solo trivia debut! I was ecstatic to have it at the Dudes' Brewing Co. considering I have played King Trivia there in the past and was familiar with the venue even before starting. Staff was super helpful and kind in having me get started/setting up the sound system. Started with 15 teams, ended with 12 -- not too shabby!

Geneseo Knights came in at full victory at 62, only 3 points ahead of Case of the Mondays and 4 points ahead of Long Chile vs Ohio 2. Case of the Mondays was in the lead up until Round 6, so this was super exciting to witness a turn of events. Very close game as it is. This was both the Geneseo Knights and Case of the Mondays first time at the Dudes', probably keeping people on their toes! Case of the Mondays has however played at other King Trivia spots, and enjoyed their time at the Dudes' for the first time as well. As described in previous posts, first place winners got 4 Arclight tickets!

The quotes in round 3 were by far the hardest for the contestants. I enunciated and repeated the quotes multiple times (probably which is why I ran overtime) but I felt that's what needed to be done! Contestants loved both the picture round and matching round and really succeeded with those -- we had a lot of successful Double or Nothings come into play!

Made my own playlist for this one, which I think won the crowd over! All in all, very great first experience!
