Another banner night at OB's Pub and Grill. While every team came to play, only a few had the fiery trivia chops to land in the winner's circle. Returning players The Wallets of El Segundo found new rivals in the ferocious Go Fox Yourself.
Each round brought a new twist. One team leapfrogged another. Then back again. By Round 4, it was anyone's guess who would claim the top honors.
For the Chili Fries Round, we opened up the floor to whomever had the most steps on their feet. OB-Have took the decadent treat home with an astounding 32,000 steps in a single day.
In the end, six points separated the leaders. One ill-fated double or nothing took the GFYs down, and the Wallets of El Segundo earned their spot in the winner's circle.
Come see us next time at OB's Pub and Grill, where every Wednesday at 8PM is Trivia Night!

It's always a good time at OB's Pub and Grill, but this rainy Wednesday evening ensured only the dedicated came to play. Ten teams threw down their collective gauntlets for seven rounds of grueling trivia.
Yolo took an early lead alongside ISTNH, but round 3 staggered the momentum. This was followed by the Guess Who Slaughter as 5 teams found their totals dropping down by one. Those risky guesses proved costly.
At this point, a new leader emerged: The Wallets of El Segundo. They were hungry, and for more than just trivia. During the Round 5 Break, they took home the special prize of an order of Cheese Fries. But that treat may have been their undoing.
By Round 7, it was anyone's game. Three teams went all in with Double or Nothing, and it's no surprise that they ended up in the Winners' Circle in the end.
MAKsimum Effort and Prestige Worldwide closed the gap to 3rd and 2nd, but it was ISTNH earning top honors and top prize for the night. A fantastic finish. Not too shabby for this Quizmaster's first night.
Join OB's Pub and Grill for King Trivia every Wednesday night at 8PM.

Quizmaster Jo here, returning after a few weeks off. As usual, it was a fully packed house of trivia lovers at OB's. We started out with SIXTEEN teams, a record for this quizmaster.
The first round started a little shaky, with no team correctly answering every question -- and that set the tone for the rest of the night! Almost everyone guessed Sean Connery right in the Guess Who round, but almost nobody knew any J.K. Rowling books!
By the time the scores were added up, Raiders Redemption had a commanding first place win, but there was a three-way tie for third. Stalwart regulars The Wallets of El Segundo came closest to guessing the number of counties in the U.S. (but if I'm being honest, they were still wayyy off). ;-D
Pictured above - longtime regulars Misunderstood Killahz, who are moving on to a new location (I'm bitter about it but I wish them the best!) and Jonas Bros (who better not be going anywhere).
