TEAM NAMES

Updated song lyrics? You came through.

Tell me more, tell me more, did you ask for affirmative consent

Dancing Queen Young and Sweet only Seven-ty

Backstreet’s back pain, not alright

Ubers on the storm

Cold Potato Cold Potato

Where did you come from, where did you go, where are my teeth

Slower, sh!t-er, softer, weaker…

It’s the end of the world and we know it

Like a Virgin – Not touched in lockdown

Starships were meant to cry

Livin’ La Vida Lockdown

Don’t dream it’s COVID

It’s the final lockdown

Chopped a line from here to COVID

Wake Me Up When Lockdown Ends

These are the voyages of Fortress Australia, and its five year mission to isolate from other worlds

He was a sk8er boi, she said stay 1.5m away

Stop right now thank you very much, I need somebody with a human touch

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free. Come together – In the park for a maximum of 2 hours and wearing masks when not eating or drinking.

She left me dildos by the stairs, surprises let me know she cares

Why does my fart feel so bad?

Device Device Baby

The Kids Still Ain’t Right

Fear the Reaper

Do you believe in love after love? No.

Oops I Hit It Again

Hit me daddy one more time

Girls just wanna have fundamental rights

Dude Looks Like A Lady, Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That

Smells Like Middle-Aged Spirit

If you want to be my lover, you gotta get on Tinder

We can nap if you want to

Ground control to Elon Musk

INTERESTING MOMENTS

On a “show your work” math question, once again, we got a team get every element of the question right, and then say that 6 * 2 + 3 – 5 = 8.

Two teams fell for one of our fake answers and said that the Funeral March was composed by Champignon (which is French for mushroom).

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.

See you next week.

Conservative Birthday

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.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

You know that Enid Blyton novels about The Slutty Seven? (That would have been a very different approach to children’s literature.)

(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.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Our bonus round asking for countries in the southern hemisphere ending in the letter A had a maximum bid of 19 (in about four bids) which resulted in a score of 9, and a bid of 16 that resulted in a score of 2, which is mathematically the worst performance we’ve ever had in the bidding round.

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.

See you next week.

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.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had online players coming in from Singapore.

One team, having got a question on the lemurs from the film Madagascar in the first half, went on to guess “the lemurs from Madagascar” on three questions in the second half. They just… really liked lemurs.

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.

See you next week.

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.

See you next week.

Beautiful Kangaroo

Infectious Slug

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.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about countries beginning with I, one team put Iran… twice. They must have been very confident on that.

Bjork’s eyes were mistaken for the eyes of “one of the guys from BTS”.

The answer to our find the connection round was silent Ls. One of our hosts pointed out that if you pronounce the L in salmon, you are wrong in this quiz and in life. If you pronounce the L in walk, you can walllllk on out of here.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked for three of the five artists we played in a supercut. A couple of team asked for bonus points if they could name them all. We agreed, with the proviso that if you named more than 3, you had to get all of them right or your would get zero points. One team got the first four, but then mistook Whitney Houston for Celine Dion and that cost them.

At an online corporate show, one team slipped up and posted the answer to a four point question in the chat… and sure enough, literally every team got 4/4.

The most common word beginning with MAC? How about macaron?

First place at one show had to be decided by the fact that one team got the homework question, but spelled one of the answers wrong. It doesn’t matter very often, but if it comes down to it, spelling can be the difference between a win & second place.

See you next week.
