QUIZ RECAP

What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than a night of Trivia and great food at this lovely venue in San Dimas?

Not Dead Pest were in it to win it from their successful double down in round one, and they ran away with first place, deservedly so.

We did think identifying dating apps while at a Valentine's dinner was a bit of a tactless subject - I think one team of 2 even deliberately scored zero!

Round 3 was very sneaky but fun and, in a brief nod to Valentine's Day - I LOVE LUCY was the guess what round 4 that was answered by Not Dead before I had even finished reading it out! A few teams, including our eventual 3rd place winner scored -1 in brave but foolish guesses.

Triangles and High Schools not withstanding, it was Round 7 that separated the men (well the one man on Periodic Table Dancers, who had NEVER played trivia before!) from the boys. A 9 out of 10 put in place a tie and a closer to guess on the tie break question gave them 3rd place from Island of Misfits (who gave the most fun answers throughout the quiz).

Thanks for all the love, everyone!

QUIZ RECAP

Low scoring, competitive but fun game at the Twisted Sage makes for a good start the weekend!

The Black Widow question in round one bit a few teams on the you know where, even foiling a double down attempt by Not Dead Pest, who never quite recovered. Scores were remarkably similar through Round 2 SNL characters and World War Z.

Thanks everyone for participating in the beer round; Best Oscar Winning Songs and the movies they came from! Great opportunity to play the funkalicious theme from Shaft....

We discovered what a long and varied career Rose Byrne has had - one of those well known faces but not well known names (a couple of teams got the wah-wah -1).

Round 5 connection did NOT make everyone's day, but matching bands to their hometowns was not that easy either. The Last Round was no easy sailing - the Antilles proved the Achilles heel for most teams and 9's a crowd secured their victory with a best in class 7.

See you on Valentines Day! Bring your brain and your love to the Twisted Sage - it should be a fun night!

Well hello there Twisted Sage! I'm subbing for your usual Quizmaster tonight and I am impressed!

We had 10 teams show up tonight but only ONE of you got a perfect score in round one - good job 1978! And then, just to twist the knife a little, 1978 hit everyone with a successful Double or Nothing in round two!

Fast forward to round 4, we had FOUR teams bring up incorrect guesses for the famous person...that's a lot of negative points, guys! On the bright side, we did also have two teams grab 10 points from the first clue by guessing Katie Holmes correctly (you both might know a little too much about her in my opinion...but who cares).

Our beer round was fun because we went Superbowl themed in honor of this weekend's big game - all the answers were artists who have played past super bowl half time shows. I played five 10 second clips and asked for the song title, artist/band name, and gave an extra point to anyone who could put them in chronological order. Well Island of Misfits and Titanic Swim team tied for the win with eight points...until I scored Let's Get Quizzical's sheet. They got ALL songs and artists correct and only missed the chronological order and in doing so, snagged some free beer!

Round six really separated the boys from the men - we had SIX successful Double or Nothings! You guys really know your animal movies.

And finally, in round seven, we found our champion, Let's Get Quizzical who beat out everyone else by 3 points! Great job, everyone! And thank you for allowing me the pleasure of spending your trivia night with you this week. You guys were a blast 🙂

xoxo, Allison
