INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about the most common words beginning with “bro”, and a LOT of teams went for brothel. Which might indicate something about our players.

A dilemma question on a hypothetical fight between a UFC champion and a pack of Justin Biebers showed us that most of you just want to see half a dozen Justin Biebers get their collective asses kicked.

And one of our winner came in with a 79 point win, largely because they enlarged their team to have some “young uns”. Diversity helps your trivia team people!

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A bonus question asked for days of the week in Portuguese. One team gave us the answer… in Spanish. But luckily for them, Saturday & Sunday are the same in both.

One of our bonus questions restricted players to one guess each. The closest guess went to one player, who went on to guess three more times. So we announced that they would have gotten a point if they had just stopped there, but they played themselves.

We gave players a choice between answering a question on video games or cold war countries. Dance Dance Revolution was more popular as an answer than Deutsche Demokratische Republik by a margin of 13-3.

One team misnamed the film 127 Hours as 27 Hours, and then pointed out that he could have saved himself 100 hours or torment.

Seven Nation Army was misremembered as Southern Nation Army. No, The White Stripes weren’t a Civil War based band.

See you next week.

The Oscar Wilde quote “we’re all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars” was, according to one team, from High School Musical.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One of our teams said with their team name that they were afraid of Ronald McDonald… and then we asked this picture question about an early version of Ronald McDonald.

A number of teams thought this picture was from Forrest Gump.

Which would have been a VERY different movie.

One team knew a disturbing amount about how to survive a grenade blast.

The title of one of Barry White’s songs was given as “I want to f*ck you all night”, which, to be fair, is the gist of most Barry White songs.

(That’s the first result we came across when we googled “slutty seven”.)

A question on low lying places resulted in us having to clarify that we meant now, not in 100 years if sea levels change.

Our current events question on the Belgian woman banned from the zoo for having an emotional affair with a chimpanzee drew an answer of her giving the chimp marijuana.  No, that’s the Netherlands right next door.

Who was meant to play Hagrid? The Rock, at least according to one team. (That would have been interesting.)

Shakespeare plays beginning the letter M… how about Mamlet, Momeo and Muliet, Married At First Sight, and the Mandalorian.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

29 teams at one online show. TWENTY NINE!

Someobdy misspelled Moneyball as Money Balls. (Which would have been a VERY different film.)

We asked a question about French words, and naturally, someone answered in French.

Someone excited about a Firefly question accidentally leaked one of the answers before we asked the question… and still most teams didn’t pick up on it.

We had to explain what the words “first”, “second”, and “third” meant. (It’s really hard not to be condescending when you ask things like this.)

See you next week.

We had online players coming in from Singapore.

Assistant District Attorney Jack McCoy from Law & Order was described as “that old white guy from Law & Order, but not the really old white guy”, which is not exactly wrong.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about Portuguese words, one team complained it was impossible to get this mumbo jumbo… and then proceeded to get the right answer.

One team came agonisingly close to getting 5/5 on the minefield bonus round.

And to celebrate two years at one of our venues, one of the players brought cupcakes for everyone.

Because we regularly draw the best trivia players.

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.
