It was a quieter evening this week at trivia at cozy Bar Charlie. Seven smart teams battled it out in whispers. Here are your highlights:
Round 2 was the highest scoring round I think I've ever seen. We had five teams get all the answers correct in the picture round, and each of them checked that double-or-nothing box, scoring 16 points a piece. The other two teams only missed one each, and strategically stayed away from that double-or-nothing check (smart thinking).
In Round 3, the theme was things related to "-ologies." My favorite answer that I overheard (but somehow didn't make it onto the answer sheet), was on question #1: What "0logy" is the study of amphibians and reptiles? when I heard HHT say, "I don't know, slime-ology?" lol
Our Guess Who round had We Got That Yummy guess a little prematurely after just two clues, costing them a point for an incorrect answer. But the rest of the teams, who waited for the 4-point clue, were all able to guess correctly. To be fair, it wasn't until the 4-point clue that we heard the most obvious clue, of being the Sega mascot.
Round 5, the teams need to Find a Connection between all their answers. And while it was neither the easiest, nor the hardest connection I've seen, I was a little concerned to see We Got That Yummy's answer of "beer" for question 9, and "Kid's Games" for the connection... what kind of Kid's Game is Beer?? 😉
Round 6 was a fun and interesting round. Rainy With a Chance of Trivia was the only able to match all of the non-human half selves with their mythical creatures/characters - great job!
And the final round had Love Pit going for it with a double-or-nothing play, which could have pushed them into the top if they had gotten all the answers correct, and would have tied them for fourth with Sleeping Booty if they hadn't checked the box. I appreciate your enthusiasm for the game!
Thank you to all who came out for trivia this week! Hope to see you all next Tuesday as well.
Top 3 teams were: No Use For a Name in 1st, followed by My Corona Has a Virus in 2nd, and Rainy With a Chance of Trivia in 3rd
We had a lot of fun and a full house this week!
Round 1 was full of general knowledge and the two teams who have the most general knowledge were No Use For a Name and Punderings, each getting all the answers correct.
In Round 2, our picture round of animal companions in the movies, our star team was Hot Girl Winter.
The theme round was all about rhyming with the word "year" or "years," and although I though we all learned about rhyming in elementary school, I did have one team ask what that meant... But this round had the most points scored for the night, with five teams scoring 12 points, by going double-or-nothing with all correct answers, one more team guessed all correctly but didn't double down, and two other teams doing alright. Shout-out to Fab 3 for their best (incorrect) guess, but still staying with the rhyming theme with "The Rear Fear Cheer Dears" rather than "Tears for Fears" on question 2.
In round 4, Punderings started to get a little ahead of themselves, and turned in their answer after the first Guess What clue, but guess incorrectly, costing them a point. The rest of the teams, however, were able to guess correctly after the second and third clues!
Great job to Pi Slices on Round 5 for being the only team to find the right connection between all the answers - Jennifer Aniston!
Round 6 was a tough one, with a lot of 2's coming in, and the highest score this round was 6 out of 10. Looks like people need to get reading this winter...
And the final round had three separate questions, keeping everyone on their toes.
Great job to our top 3 teams of the night: No Use For a Name, Lawdy Dawdy We Like to Toddy, and Pi Slices!
Thank you everyone for coming out and making it such a fun night for trivia! Hope to see you all next week!
With all the talk and online chatter about Snowpocalypse 2020, we had a lighter turnout than our usual Tuesday crowd. But, we made the best of it! And Thank You, Greg, for spending your birthday with us!!
Our three teams went head to head to head, with Snow Day Jose starting out on top with 14 points in Round 1, going double-or-nothing, and showing off their General Knowledge.
Then in Round 2, our Birthday Greg's Team 5-1-0 knew all the books, but didn't double down, questioning their #3 answer of The Good Earth, even though it was right!
Not making the same mistake twice, Team 5-1-0 went double-or-nothing in Round 3, the theme round - but so did Snow Day Jose!
Keeping their lead in Round 4, Snow Day Jose was the only team to Guess Who correctly after just the first clue, leaving Team 5-1-0 and Char Barlie waiting until the 6 point clue to turn in their answers.
In Round 5, even though all three teams did pretty well on the first 9 questions, alas, none of them were able to find the right connection, leading me to a sea of boo's...
The Matching Round gave Team 5-1-bo0 a chance to take the lead with their double-or-nothing score, leaving Boo Day Jose and Char Boolie behind.
But it all comes down to the Final Round, keeping everyone on their toes, we had a question about the Best Picture 2020 Academy Award nominations that had just been announced the day before! It was a tight race to the end, but Snow Day Jose took the lead, getting all 9 nom's and the double-or-nothing, while Team 5-1-0 got 8 of the 9, giving them the 0 on the double-or-nothing, and Char Barlie also with 8 of the 9, not risking it, but not quite close enough to take the lead.
Great work for all of you who risked your lives leaving your house in such a snow storm! We love having you at Bar Charlie, and hope to see you again soon 🙂
Happy Birthday, Greg!
