Granville 1/5/16

We had a small game to start the new year at the Granville after our three week hiatus. First round was rough, but our three teams rebounded from there with perfect scores the next two rounds and good scores the rest of the way. Three seemed to be the theme of the night, three teams, 3 common bonds, and movie three-scriptions. Our returning team, the Honeybadgers, jumped off to a quick lead and held that until round 5, but there victory was snatched from them in the last round by the winners, Welcome Back, Kotter.

You can see the victors sporting their spoils from the win $25. Starting next week our 1st place team will be receiving a $25 gift certificate along with swag. Great time to join us at the Granville.

Welcome Back, Kotter

ICYMI: Last Night's Recap - 4/28/15

We had a full house last night at The Granville with plenty of folks playing the game. It was a younger crowd so some of the movie questions were a bit too old for them. Scores were a bit lower than usual, and the team with the most points had too many team members. The winning team was the Honeybadgers.

Over at Molly Malone's, the crowd was smaller than usual and we had a few folks throughout the game who didn't realize they weren't supposed to yell out answers, hum the theme songs to movies, or continuously whistle to the tune of "Let's Go Yankees!" All-in-all it was a good evening, despite Scott's inability to pronounce words like chauffeur and diplopia as well as names like Blackthorne, Chatham, and Lorre. The winning team, Don't Rain on My Pegasus Parade, struggled in the beginning, but took charge in the final round and reigned (pun intended) victorious.

Recap for April 14, 2015

Adam Driver is not Keanu Reeves. 

We had a great night of trivia at both venues last night.  There were several new teams at The Granville this week and everyone enjoyed the game. Scores were a bit lower than in past weeks, but that happens from time to time. The Terrible Music round went very well as well as the Jeopardy! round. One team that pretty much led the whole time, The Smartest People at the Granville Inn, faltered in the last round.  This week's winner was Honeybadgers.

Over at Molly Malone's we started off a bit small, but all the way up to round three we just kept adding teams. We had some fun with the Massive Headaches round, despite some switched up answers. The Terrible Music round, aka Massive Headaches Part II, was a big hit. Most teams scored pretty highly on it. There were three or four teams that went head-to-head last night, but Iran (So Far Away) walked/ran away with the win.

We threw in one more music question at the end to test your knowledge. Some of you did well in identifying the musical supergroup, The Traveling Wilburys. Here they are with "End of the Line."

Recap - March 31

We had a packed house last night at both venues. It was probably the two Math rounds.

The Granville was rowdy, since not everyone was playing trivia (what's that about?), but we powered through. The Honeybadgers dominated the night  and had the correct number of players, so they walked away winners.

Over at Molly's we had three birthdays and a wedding anniversary to celebrate. The Slow and the Spurious were crowned the winners. After they got their winnings, they bolted, Fast and Furious-like, so this was the only picture we could get...of their empty table.

Last Night's Recap - March 24, 2015

After tons of weather issues and last week's cancellation for St. Patrick's Day, we were glad to be back last night at The Granville and Molly Malone's. The night was filled with Pop Culture Trivia, a random audio round, and some basic Indiana Jones chronology.

The winning teams from both bars were quite apparent from early on. Over at The Granville, Honeybadgers took the win. At Molly's a rowdy Werewolves, Not Scarewolves walked away victorious, even though they were about to riot during the "Vanity Fair" question. Becky Sharp is the heroine, not Becky Thatcher. That's a different book altogether.

And here's that groundbreaking (at least in 1951) scene from Royal Wedding.

Last Night's Recap - February 24

We had another full house at Molly Malone's last night with 20 teams, despite the series finale of Parks & Rec (thank you DVR!). The first round was a tough one. The average score was 5.75. The pace quickly picked up with Big Birdman grabbing the lead until the final round (a common problem for that crew). Bye Bye Lil' Sebastian, a team who saw second and third place throughout the game, dominated the final round and took home the win.

Over at The Granville, we had a good rebound crowd from last week's snow. The teams started out a little slow in round one with lower scores. The Honeybadgers were the first to comeback. The Inspiration round was a good round for most teams. Last week's winners, Hit It and Acquit It, made a late run, but it wasn't enough to take the win from the Honeybadgers.
