It's Oktoberfest at Rasselbock, so you know what that means: Trivia was off the chain, hook, grid--and the wagon.
9 teams arrived, from veterans to brand new groups, bringing with them a hunger for giant pretzels, delicious schnitzel, and seven rounds of quiztastic trivia.
We got things started with a few easy rounds, lulling the competitors into a false sense of security. Then we brought the heat with Round 3, letting these teams know the Revolution might not be televised but it would certainly lead a mark.
The Appetizer Round included a brand new game based off the traditional German Koffer Packen. Team had to memorize an ever-increasing list of items going into some luggage (it's more fun than it sounds, especially after a few boots of beer). With the carbs secured for one team, we went into the back stretch.
Here, our newbies Gualala shined. They went hard after a few questions, taking risks veteran teams might not have, climbing high into the leaderboard. When it came down to the final three, they were too far ahead to catch.
In the end, however, it was the raucous and righteous group of Hunter Biden's Ukrainian Sex Party that came with the firepower to win. They took the lead in the last two rounds, holding on for the big W at the end.
Come on down to Rasselbock, where every Tuesday night at 9 is Trivia Night.

There are few places in Los Angeles as "happening" as Rasselbock on a Tuesday night. The crowd was alive with a crackling energy, cheering after every round, celebrating each others' victories, and talking some sweet smack. It was bound to be a great night.
With four veteran teams and a powerhouse newcomer, the trivia began in earnest. High Diggers led the pack with an astounding Double Down (the only one of the night), leaping far ahead into first. However, holding that lead would prove nearly impossible. Soon, every team clamored back into scoring position.
A surprise Survey Slam round led to a tray of delicious potato pancakes making the rounds, as the winners chose to donate the carbs to the room. This may have been a mistake, as the winners didn't have the caloric intake to sustain their lead.
As Round 7 approached, Sassy Mali took ahold of first place by the skin of their teeth. It was a set up for a showdown of epic proportions.
Round 7 proved to be the most difficult of all, with most teams barely scraping together three or four points. This led to a leaderboard separated by inches.
In the end, Sassy Mali took the grand prize, with High Diggers and Heroes of Canton coming up just behind them.
Another wonderful night of trivia and fun at Rasselbock. Join us next Tuesday at 9PM!
6 teams put pen to paper as they battled each other to see which team was the most smartest in tonight's King Trivia match. Shoutout to "TNT" for not knowing there was trivia tonight but deciding to play anyway. I also loved the commitment "Vaku" gave to every round. But in the end, there can only be one FIRST place winner. We'll get to that later. Because right now, I wanna acknowledge our THIRD place winner, "Eminan," who not only ended the evening with 38 points but also won the APPETIZER ROUND with their ability to suck better and longer than anybody else. Going home with 42 points and SECOND place was "Heroes of Canton." And coming in first with the help of the ole "Double or Nothing" was "That Scene from Basic Instinct" with 56 points! Great game all around, everyone. Thanks for a great night!
