INTERESTING MOMENTS

Right before one of our music questions, someone interrupted our host to ask if we were going to play the music before they had to guess. Yes, they thought this might be trivia for psychics.

One player really struggled with the idea of not shouting out answers. The whole room heard her suggestions for the first four questions clear as day before she figured out people could hear her.

We were also asked on the second question of the quiz if google was allowed.

And our leaders are still one win ahead in our quarterly tournament.

Someone tried to make a case that lynching should be considered an indoor sport beginning with L.
