INTERESTING MOMENTS
Spelling mistakes can matter. Like when you misspell High Hopes as High Hoes. Which means something VERY different.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
We were given “turkey” as the last place subject, and so wrote questions on the bird. It turns out they meant the country. (This is why you should be specific when choosing last place subjects.)
We were pleased to see that the only team to get a special subject question on Parks and Recreation was the team that chose Parks and Recreation as the special subject, which meant that the special subject did exactly what it’s designed to do.
And we had a couple of one off trivia shows to make up for the fact that a lot of our live venues are shut down. If you need online or live trivia for your next event, you know how to contact us.
See you next week.
