- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
It was another fun night of trivia at Tubby Hook, wherein Sharper Than Peas failed to live up to their intent to come in third place by winning an extremely competitive game against regulars Trial by Combat and talented newcomer Latecomer.

What better way to take shelter during a dark and stormy night at Halloween than by sharing laughs and celebrations with friends at trivia?
That's just what 8 teams did last night as they traded bumps in the night and questions of "who's there?" with slaps on the forehead and questions of "how did I get that wrong?" With Tubby Hook decked out for the spookiest season of them all and a playlist to match ("Monster Mash" anyone?), the regular lead changes throughout the 7 trivia rounds had everyone looking over their shoulders and feeling like they were being followed.
Crafty veterans Sharper Than Peas seemed doomed to just be observers through 4 rounds until hitting 2 Double or Nothings in the last 3 rounds ultimately propelled them to victory while a well-timed Double or Nothing for Marriage on the the Rocks in the final round assured them of a 3rd place finish. Though a prize was just out of reach for the 5th place trio of 3Ts and 2D, they still pulled off a Double or Nothing at the end by identifying the 10 Star Wars characters to appear in the most live action films, which is impressive considering none of them have ever seen a single Star Wars film. Just goes to show you that win or lose, there's always something to celebrate with King Trivia at Tubby Hook.
Happy Halloween, everyone!

It wasn't the winds of chage blowing last night (though The Scorpions were present on the Spotify playlist), but the chilly winds of Autumn that packed the house last night at Tubby Hook. 11 teams came in seeking shelter from the chill and vied for trivia supremacy in a record-breaking game.
With so many teams, there was always going to be a number of lead changes and swapped positions, but last night's game saw even more than usual thanks to 10 instances of teams hitting the Double or Nothing, by far the most since this quizmaster has been on the scene! While "Guess Who?" stumped a few, "Find the Connection" propelled others, meaning pretty much anyone could have emerged the victory heading into the 7th and final round.
In the end, it was Mharmair Cnoc hitting their third Double or Nothing in a row to reign supreme, clocking in with 88 points, the most seen at Tubby Hook this year! With history being written last night, we wonder what thrills and chills are in store for next week and Halloween.
