Trivia was PACKED tonight as multiple groups celebrated their companies holiday parties! To fit with the vibe, I played entirely holiday music and it got everyone in the mood to trivia hard. All of the rounds tripped teams up, but especially Round 2, 4 and 5. During round 2, it was difficult for anyone to identify the Mole, with guesses like Platypus and Hamster. Round 4 stumped many, we saw guesses like Demi Lovato, Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus and one team had no clue who Selena Gomez is, even after seeing a picture! In the end, Quizzy McGuires took first place, Cruger Ave took second and there was a fight between OxyMorons and Sam/Eric for the tie breaker. OxyMorons took third place with a guess of 1000, while the other team guessed 300! These teams came from the same holiday party and battled it out til the end!

Unfortunately, everyone seemed to run off right after and I was unable to snap plenty of pictures, but I did grab a photo of Cruger Ave standing outside in the snow machine! Thanks for coming everyone 🙂
