THE OFFICE THEMED EVENT RECAP

Cue "The Office" theme music! You've got yourself the recap of King Trivia's "The Office" Themed Trivia Night at Poor Richard's a.k.a. Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills!

16 teams of "The Office" fans, some dressed as Angela, casual Friday Stanley, Dwight, one of Scott's Tot's, and even the Halloween Episode's 3 hole punch Jim (x2) and black cat Pam were there! They all gathered where the actual characters of "The Office" met up from time to time, at their Scranton watering hole "Poor Richard's"! That's right, Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills was the actual filming location for Poor Richard's in "The Office"! What better location could it have taken place?!

The show began as Assistant to the Regional Quizmaster, Dwight Schrute, popped out of a box he had been hiding in to spy on Pam and her alliance meeting. You can watch the cold open for the event here: https://youtu.be/cvqtXsmlpoY

Dwight also talked about the advertising King Trivia had done for the event, including the billboard that King Trivia put up, to which, Pam (aka Mary from King Trivia) informed Dwight that in fact the billboards had been defaced. When Pam told Dwight it was from the pictures from the photoshoot of him and Andy, Dwight repeated, "No no no no no no no no" as he ran out of the bar and saw the defaced billboard out front!

The game began as always with 6 general knowledge questions, including questions about Sabre's headquarters, Creed's favorite computer game, and the beautiful Amy Adams! For the picture round, teams had to name The Office character who was a blood relative to the character shown! Round 3 dealt with all Holiday episodes of The Office and Round number 4 were clues all about Mose, who Dwight thought would make a great paper salesman because of his fear of paper! Round 5 the traditional Find the Connection round, had answers whose first letters all spelled out "The Office" digital short entitled, "Blackmail". The night also featured only music that was featured in "The Office"!

For the Drinking Round, teams each sent one player up to play Oscar and Kevin's favorite "The Office" game, Hate Ball, because Angela hates it so much! That's right, it was the paper football game! One at a time each team had to try and flick a paper football through the uprights! The first team to go, casual Friday-dressed Stanley from team Process Servants, made it in right off the bat! In the first round only two teams made it. In the second round those two teams could not get it through, so it went to sudden death until one team flicked the paper football through the uprights. Round after round they battled it out until, finally, Stanley from Process Servants flicked it through and thus won the round of shots for his team!

Next, Dwight awarded the Dundee Award to the Most Spirited Team, Beets by Dwight, who bought a silk screen machine to make their own team shirts for the event! All 6 team members had a matching beet colored, Beets by Dwight t-shirt, with Dwight's glasses on a beet! What great shirts! They also won a Michael's World's Best Boss mug! See pictures of them and their t-shirts above!

Round 6, the matching round hand out, was all about Michael's movie "Threat Level Midnight"! Teams had to match each character from"The Office" to their role in Michael's movie! And finally for Round 7, teams had to list 6 of the women that Michael had a physical relationship with in the show, as well as the 4 other businesses in the Scranton business Park that shared the office building with the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin! What a game!

Coming in 3rd place with a huge score of 86 points, was team Mukduk She Wrote, who took home a $10 gift certificate for Pickwick's!

Coming in second, and winners of the $20 gift certificate for Pickwick's Pub, was team Old Friends, New Lovers, and the Disabled, who only missed one answer the entire night on round 2! That one wrong answer cost them the win because they scored 99 points and lost by one point!! So so close team! A valiant effort!

Coming in 1st place and winning $180 in cash money, was team Scott's Tots who answered every question correctly, and would have had a perfect game, had they gotten the Round Number 4 answer on the 10 point clue instead of the 8 point clue! But, man, what a performance! I would never have been able to score that high! Amazing job!

That just about does it for King Trivia's "The Office" Themed King Trivia event at Poor Richard's aka Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills! Thanks everyone for coming out! We hope you had a wonderful time! That's what she said!

QUIZ RECAP

Wednesday's are hopping at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills for King Trivia and if you haven't been, you're doing yourself an injustice and you're missing out on a ton of fun! This last week was no different as 65 players and 13 teams showed up to have some drinks and test their drunk brain recollection!

For the drinking round the task was simple. First, each team had to send up one of its players to compete, but the teams had no idea what the drinking round game was going to be. One by one the player chosen by each team had 15 seconds to say the name of the bar, Pickwick's Pub, as many times as possible. Whomever said it the most in 15 seconds, would win the drinking round and a round of shots for their team. Mighty Mighty Puffins secured the win by saying Pickwick's Pub 25 times in 15 seconds! Most impressive!

Mighty Mighty Puffins also came in second place and took home a $20 gift certificate by scoring 71 points! On the final round, they got all 10 answers correct, but they did not double down. Had they doubled down, they would have taken first place by 8 points! But taking free shots and a $20 gift certificate ain't a bad night!

Coming in third place with 61 points and taking home a $10 gift certificate, was Diversity Poster! Way to go team!

And in 1st place winning by 2 points because of their successful double or nothing in the final round, was team PTSDCC! They scored 73 points and took home the $30 gift certificate from under the Puffins' noses! Excellent job PTSDCC!

And that wraps it up! See you next Wednesday at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills for more King Trivia!

QUIZ RECAP

If you still haven't shown up to Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills on Wednesday night for King Trivia, I question what could possibly be more important? Every week many teams gather to test their brain power and win gift certificates and shots, and you're missing out! This past Wednesday was no different!

For the Drinking Round, teams had to send up two players to play a game where they had to stack a pyramid of red Solo cups using only a rubber band between the two of them. They could not touch the Solo cup with their hands only with the rubber band to lift it and drop it onto the pyramid. The fastest team to do this would win the drinking round and round of shots for their team. With a blazingly fast time of 38.74 seconds Caterpillar Quitters won the drinking round! The next fastest team did it in 49.88 seconds so that was blazingly fast for sure! Amazing job!

Coming in third place after a tiebreaker question, was Alternative Facts who scored 68 points. Unfortunately for them, they did not know the year that Arnold Schwarzenegger was born and thus they lost the tiebreaker question. But, they didn't go home empty-handed as they won a $10 gift certificate back to the bar.

The winners of that tiebreaker question, guessing within two years of Arnold Schwarzenegger's correct birth year, was Hanky Panky, who also scored 68 points! They took home the $20 gift certificate! Woot woot!

And of course, our always challenging team of the Mighty Mighty Puffins continued their domination with another first-place finish! They scored 74 points to win the first place prize!!

See? I told you you're missing out! But don't fret, because we'll be back next Wednesday night right at the same place at the same time! See you there!
