We had a new team join us this week, who I *think* will be back - Amy Wants to Be Here seemed super excited about ending up at trivia, when they didn't even know it was going to happen. It's always great to see new faces, and catch some of that enthusiasm for knowledge like this team had!
While Riff Raff and Team 5-1-0 both started out (and ended) strong, they kept their leads throughout the game. But, Where's Bob? really could have used Bob if he had been there to help them out - started out a little too confident, going Double-or-Nothing on the first two rounds, and falling short. Luckily they had that registered team number to at least get on the board!
Also great job by Pat squared + 4, who were pretty strong the whole night, but just a little shy of those top 2 teams.
We had a lot of fun with Round 3 that everyone thought would be a piece of (pan)cake, was a bit more challenging than expected. Then in Round 4, Team 5-1-0 got the Guess Who on the first clue! Round 6, the matching musicals round, Amy Wants to Be Here thought she knew her musicals and doubled down, but was off by one missed answer, costing the round. The final round was a doozy to say the least. After reading the question twice and giving the teams some time to work on it, it turned out that DeNiro's Dinero was harder to come by than one might think - every team only got 3 answers right in the final.
This left us with Riff Raff in first place, Team 5-1-0 in second, Pat squared +4 in third, followed by Where's Bob and Amy Wants to Be Here!
Thank you all for coming out to Trivia at Bar Charlie, it was a ton of fun! See you next Tuesday!

Bar Charlie was recently mentioned in a great Seattle Met article about Nautical Seattle Restaurants & Bars, so it was super busy when I go there for trivia this week! Next up, we need a mention for Trivia 🙂
We had a few of our regular teams there (And With 69 Points, Riff Raff, and Sleeping Booty), who all started off strong in Round 1, going Double-or-Nothing and getting those 2 bonus points for being registered at KingTrivia.com, the other three teams had a huge gap in points to make up.
Then in Round 2, Riff Raff took the lead by going Double-or-Nothing again on the Picture Round, scoring 16 more points, while the rest of the teams just weren't as strong on their video game symbols.
In Round 4, the Guess Who had one of the least descriptive 10-point clues I have ever read. It wasn't until the 8-point clue that there were two teams able to turn in their answer - and it also encouraged a solo bar-goer to join the Trivia fun! Great job to J for joining us, and to Graduated but Broke and Sleeping Booty for being the first to turn in their answers.
In Round 5, it was a close round, but the only team to correctly Find the Connection was Sleeping Booty - you really know your blood work!
Onto Round 6, the matching of the Diets seemed to be pretty well-known. So much so that five of our now seven teams went Double-or-Nothing, keeping the competition alive into the final round.
The Round 7, Young Whippersnappers, was a tough one for most. But a great showing from Donner Party of 8, who had the high score for this round.
In the end, it was Riff Raff in 1st, And with 69 Points in 2nd, and Sleeping Booty in 3rd. Great job to everyone, though, and thank you all for coming out for a fun night - it's not all about winning! I appreciate each and every one of you - Graduated But Broke, Donner Party of 8, J, and The Cool Kids - it wouldn't have been the same without you!
See you all again next Tuesday!

It was a quiet and tense night of Trivia this week. I could tell the teams were concentrating on the questions, and thinking thoroughly about their answers.
Round 1 started us off with some General Knowledge, with Riff Raff jumping right in to score 8 points, answering all correct answers, and scoring 2 bonus points for having their team registered at KingTrivia.com
The Picture Round this week must have been too easy, because ALL 5 teams went double-or-nothing and ALL 5 teams got them all correct! Great job knowing your birds and pro sports teams! Extra points went to our newest team The Minor Heckups who went on to register their team as well - don't want to miss out on free points!
Keeping the scores very close, we moved into Round 3 to Drop It Like It's Hot. I had to be a stickler on this round's question 4, where a lot of teams guessed "Mic Drop", but the actual answer turned out to be "Drop the Mic." I have to commend you all for being very close, though!
Round 4 had us Guessing Who? This one was quite a toss up, where Team 5-1-0 jumped into the lead with their correct answer right off the first clue! The Minor Heckups were not far behind on the second clue. However, it was Risk it for the Biscuit, who unfortunately guessed wrong, but that gave N.A.* a chance to catch back up.
It then became a battle between the top 3 teams and the bottom 2 from here on out. In Round 5, it turned out finding the connection was the easiest part. It was the other 9 questions that all the teams struggled to find. Such quiet was never before heard at Bar Charlie, as when the teams were working on the answers to Round 5. There was something for everyone on this round, though, as I saw at least one face light up with the right answer on all of the questions, and at least one face staring blankly back at me with confusion. Eventually they had to turn in their answers, doing the best they could with their collective brain smarts on each team.
That moved us right along to Round 6, the Matching round, where we focused on the 2019 version of the Lion King.
Then, from a movie I haven't seen (2019 Lion King), to a game I've never played (Risk), it's a good thing I know how to read 🙂 Round 7 asked for the 9 North American Territories on a standard Risk game board, and since it was the Final Round of the night, Risk it for the Biscuit had to live up to their name, in the battle for last place! Luckily for N.A.*, it didn't pay off. Meanwhile, in the fight for first, Riff Raff pushed ahead with 8 points in the final round.
At the end of the night, we had Riff Raff take home 1st, Team 5-1-0 in 2nd, and our new team The Minor Heckups in 3rd. Good game also to N.A.* and Risk it for the Biscuit. You guys are all awesome!
Thank you so much for coming out! See you next Tuesday!
