QUIZ RECAP
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.

QUIZ RECAP
With the new 7:30pm start time, trivia at The Oaks Tavern started a bit slow, but by the second round the entire crowd was comisserating together about the nightmare inducing mime pictures. Even with a couple minor tech issues, teams were playing their best and earning points left and right.
The 5th found proved especially challenging, but teams with gamers came out swinging on Find the Connection as well as the 6th round. After a quick round of "Oldest Coin," Oedipus and the Family Band's penny from 1964 earned them a round of mai tai shots.
In the end Oedipus and the Family Band took first place, followed by Yerxes’ Disciples and Vaxxed, Waxxed, and Stealing Tesseracts.

QUIZ RECAP
The Oaks Tavern was buzzing with excitement for trivia as a good mix of new and veteran teams played for the coveted prizes. With five out of the 7 teams successfully doubling round 2, the win was anyone's, but in the Guess Who round only one team took 10 points, solidifying their lead: Tokyo MidDrift.
Since the connection was quite challenging, the drinking round was pretty simple - DM the Quizmaster the cutest cat. Vaxxxed submitted a kiitten dressed as Princess Leia and won over Quizmaster Yael's nerdy cat-loving heart. The handout was tougher than the Picture Round, but no one won round 7 with the Whitney Houston songs and US Space Shuttles. Ultimately, Tokyo kept their lead, followed by Vaxxxed, and Genetic.
Next week is another game and another chance to win, at the NEW earlier time of 7:30pm (instead of 8pm)
