The Federal was pretty quiet tonight, with only 4 teams playing (although 'Sarah & Shane' jumped in and dominated round 2). The picture round, Yestercades, was indeed a success all around, with most teams identifying nearly all the 80s arcade games. But it was the connection in round 5 that really solidified the top three, with Gazpacho, Agents of the Zeitgeist, and "And in the fourth place" all doubling for a score of 20 each.

As the night was going smoothly, the drinking round was a bit on the performative side. Quizmaster Yael asked teams to send up a representative to do their best celebrity impersonation. Just Danielle set the bar pretty high, going first, with her impression of Gwen Stefani. Unfortunately, the Ray Butani from Schitts Creek and Jennifer Coolidge from Cinderella Story weren't at the Gwen Stefani level, but it was Agents of the Zeitgeist's Crispin Glover in Back To The Future that induced a large applause earning them the drinks.

Ultimately, Gazpacho and Agents of the Zeitgeist took first and second place with a 3 point margin.

Halloween was in the air at The Federal tonight, with a special themed mix from Quizmaster Yael, as well as a seemingly unlimited bag of yummy candies, teams came in costume ready to play! The first round had scores all over the board but "Sir Christopher The Magnificent" took a quick lead doubling round 1. By Round 3 "F is for Friends" jumped to the third place spot, creeping up behind "Gazpacho".

Everyone was stumped in the Guess Who fourth round, with two teams losing a point for their Charlie Chaplin guess, but "Agents of the Zeitgeist" was the first to get on the board this round with 6 points. The Halloweiners took everyone by surprise as the only team to get round 6 correct, connecting the Spooky song with their Artist. They were also the winners of the Costume Contest Drinking Round, dressed as Han Solo and Arthur (from the cartoon).

Regardless of score and placement, the entire place had a fantastic Halloween-like night with costumes, music, and of course, candy.

The Federal was full of excited players tonight, including both veteran teams and newbies. The first round saw 4 teams double and take a lead, but round 2 spread everyone out all over the board. It seemed that round 3 was quite an easy one for tonight's players, with nearly every team doubling and getting 12 points. By the time the drinking round came about, everyone was excited to show off their weirdest loyalty cards. Newbies "Celeste Beans" won a round of drinks with their Cannabis Fertilizer card against Gazpacho's card to BLVD Kitchen. Although they took the drinks, they didn't win the game. Tigger & Pooh shot up the ranks knowing Tom Holland after the 10 point clue, but ultimately didn't stay in the top 3.

Next week's drinking round was announced as a costume contest, so everyone is excited to return on Monday to The Federal.
