The regulars held down the fort in the absence of their beloved regular Quizmaster, Val.
Three fun and funny teams kept their eye on first place throughout the night. In Round 2, our competitors proved that they were "Birds of a Feather," with each and every team earned double the points by successfully identifying types of birds (including the rare, near-extinct Larry).
Our amateur ornithologists kept the bird love alive in Round 4, with every team earning eight points for correctly identifying our "Guess Who" as Raven-Symone. That's so Raven.
At the end of the day, consistency was key for winning team The Worst We Can Do is 3rd. They played it safe and steady, escaping some of the heartbreaking double-or-nothing near-misses that plagued second and third place finishers Sleeping Booty and Quizzards of Oz.
We wrapped up the night with a prize for every team, some great food and drink, and a rousing video rendition of "Happy Birthday" for Quizmaster Val. Not a bad way to spend an evening!

It was another wonderful evening of trivia at Bar Charlie. Six teams stuck it out in a battle of brains. The biggest milestones happened in rounds three and five.
Round 3 consisted of Haikus where the teams had to decipher which Best Picture Oscar winning movie the poems referred to. On these, it seemed like teams either knew all or most of them or almost none, so it was a big round for the points-divide!
Round 5, Find the Connection all had prime numbers in the answers, although there was a bit of a discussion about one of the teams answers to question #2.
In the end, we had Five One Oh in first place, followed by The Valcoholics in second, and And in First Place came in third. Thank you for coming out for a fun round of trivia!
See you next time!

What a great night! We had a lot of fun, made some new friends, and shared some knowledge. Seven teams came out to play this week, so it was a full house - let's keep this momentum going!
Round 1 started us off with some General Knowledge, including our Tuesday Facebook question (quick plug to follow King Trivia on facebook, so you can see one question ahead of time). Also, if you haven't already watched Always Be My Maybe on Netflix, you should, super cute RomCom with Ali Wong.
In Round 2, the teams had to identify the pencil topper. Favorite answer on this was "Carrot Top," which I obviously accepted as it was a picture of a carrot as a pencil topper, not Carrot Top the guy (comedian?) with the hair or whatever, but still a solid answer.
Round 3 was uneventful, and Round 4 seemed pretty easy, with five of the seven teams getting the correct answer after just one clue! But Round 5 this week was for us - thanks King Trivia! The Pi Slices and Risk it For the Biscuit really knew their Seattle trivia, getting all 10 answers correct this round. Whereas The Minor Heckups and At Least We're Not Last only thought they did, going Double-or-Nothing and getting nothing 🙁
Moving into Round 6, the matching handout, At Least We're Not Last sadly secured their spot in last place by doubling down again and falling short.
It was a race for the top and Brittney Spears brought it home with her top 10 Billboard Hot 100. Even though Ya Like Dags? went double-or-nothing in the final round, they still held enough points to put them in 3rd place! Risk it For the Biscuit was also up there, not scoring a ton of points in the final round, but had plenty already accrued to land 2nd place! And it was our largest team of the night, with plenty of brain power to come in 1st - congratulations to The Pi Slices!
Thank you everyone for coming out to play trivia with me! I love having you all there. See you again next week!
