A bold and beautiful night in Los Angeles this past Tuesday. Nearly a dozen hungry teams arrives at Rasselbock ready to battle it out for trivia glory. With bragging rights and gift cards on the line, the vibe in the restaurant went from friendly competition to serious grudge match in zero seconds flat.
Out the gate, each team took big swings for the win. Double Downs rained from the heavens, but were just as likely to sink a team's chances at victory as raise them. After several rounds of trivia, it was impossible to tell just who could win the night.
Then came the appetizer round. In the spirit of National I Love Lucy Day, we had a bonus bout of themed trivia. The potato pancakes, an the life affirming carbs, went to the Gruesome Twosome. Those last minute calories seemed to be the secrete ingredient, and suddenly the team shot ahead.
After a final round, the leader board settled into place. While it was no surprise to see frequent champions the Gruesome Twosome near the top, it was the newcomers the Stein-Becks who proved a worthy match for the night.

It was a quiet and intimate evening at Rasselbock, but that didn't stop these seven teams from coming in ready to play. When the clock struck 9, the showdown began for total trivia domination.
Veterans Heroes of Canton and High Diggers squared off against the newer foes from Gruesome Twosome and Phoebe Waller-Quiz. Newbie teams Unicorns, Tru, and Fickle Mistresses arrived hungry for victory...and the famous Rasselbock pretzels.
Every round brought a new leaderboard. GT went up early, but Canton and High Diggers refused to be left behind. Double Downs were thrown, scores leapt and fell, and suddenly we had a real soiree on our hands.
A much-needed respite came during the appetizer round. Since it was National Fluffernutter Day, we went down a journey through history to see who knew the most about the greatest sandwich ever invented. Heroes of Canton emerged victorious, earning the delicious potato pancakes.
As we reached the final round, the top three teams were within spitting distance of one another. It came down to basketball knowledge. Based on the shocked expressions when the question was asked, this would prove a challenge for every team.
In the end, Gruesome Twosome maintained their lead by the skin of their teeth, taking home the big V.

Oktoberfest is in the air, and the teams at Rasselbock are feeling the spirit. Nine groups of hungry and thirsty players showed up ready to drink beer and play trivia, and they'd already ordered their beer.
Every round was an all-out slugfest, with the top three positions trading places after every question set. It was impossible to know just how the game would end up, even going into the final few rounds.
Survey Slam was, as always, a tremendous success as an Appetizer Round treat. Players certainly knew a thing or two about Boston, although their selections for historical drinking buddies could have used another guess.
In the final round, when it was announced that Math Class was a factor, the teams joined together in groaning their dismay. This Quizmaster is not too proud to say he cackled audibly at that. Still, the questions must be asked and answers must be given.
When the dust settled after seven rounds, veteran team Heroes of Canton took the top prize, with Sassy Capri and Kobayashi Maru settling their differences with a tie-breaker question.
Come on down to Rasselbock every Tuesday for King Trivia, and don't miss out on the Oktoberfest action every Friday and Saturday!
