Wednesday night at The Oaks Tavern was popping with Bacardi samples and lively game of trivia, hosted by Quizmaster Yael. The game started off strong with seven teams landing across the board, including a perfect 12 point score from Atlas Drugged who held onto their lead all night. 

The puppies in the second round got the Quizmaster in the fluffy animals mood so to earn a round of drinks teams were asked to play a round of "Show me your Kitties". Cecivhe ultimately won some shots with a couple of kitties massaging each other.

Eventually Team Rossie merged with Less Awesome, More Sauced, but their collaboration did not prove fruitful. Expectantly, Atlas Drugged took first place, followed by Dilly Dilly and Three Cool Boys.

Scores were coming in hot at The Oaks Tavern, with most teams earning over half the points in each of the first couple of rounds. By the Guess Who round James Brown lowered the average. Once the time the challenging 5th Round began, teams were seriously struggling. 

Luckily a game of oldest coin led to drinks for some- the nickel from 1964 earning the prize - and the movie lovers flexed their stuff with the Mystery Machine themed 6th round. In the end, geography buffs were the real MVPs, naming Italian cities and leading My Oedipus Teacher to victory.

Trivia started off a bit quiet at The Oaks Tavern - now at their 7:30pm timeslot - but a slew of teams arrived in time for Round 2, spicing up the competition. Vaxxed, Waxxed, and Still Wearing Masks and Oedipus Shrek took an early lead, and stayed on top while Bipolar Bears clawed their way up from the bottom 2 to 6th place, behind Trivia Newton John and Rollin ballz. 

After a challenging Find the Connection round, Quizmaster Yael sourced the players for gaming puns to be used in a wedding ceremony. All the teams submitted great jokes, especially a rhyming submission from team Brothers and Sisters - "I searched forever, without a clue; I found the Easter Egg, it was you" - but it was Ceviche that provided the winning line. Luckily, Yael intends to use most the them during a wedding speech this weekend. 

Ultimately, it was a rousing game with many teams vowing to return next week for a rematch.
