Wheel House – Let's Do Trivia - 16 March 2023 – BLURB

 Top of whatever time you're reading this!

 

It's me, Adam, writing to you from the inside of a hollowed out tree where I found the pot of gold! Wait a tick… Nope, it's just the bathroom and I'm holding onto the toilet after a packed weekend of St Patrick's Day celebrations. Last Thursday, we had around 57 players joining us at The Wheel House Beer Garden. Some questions were obviously inspired by the impending green holiday. Allen has given me almost full control of the hosting duties and having not seen the questions or the music playlist, he decided to play along in the game as team SpongeBob Worthy. (Seinfeld fans…?).

 

Wheel Deal Sex Appeal and Mellifluous or cacophonous (Paul's team) nearly went point for point throughout the first half of the game. Trivia players and also Wheel House employees James and Mike Mike of Wheel Deal Sex Appeal stumbled with an early question trying to name the city where Bailey's was first produced. Dublin my friends.

 

Teams were tasked with arranging three cities (Limerick, Cork, Dublin) on the island of Ireland from west to east for the final question. About half of our teams provided the correct order.

 

Wheel Deal Sex Appeal finished the match atop the standings. With three weeks in a row of placing first or second, the top prize next week will be a $120 Wheel House gift certificate. That's a big pot of gold that's looking to be claimed. Come out and join our game and dethrone Wheel Deal Sex Appeal!!!!

 

Final Standings were:

13th: Win Some, Lose Most

12th: The Crushes

11th: Cyber Sponges

10th: SpongeBob Worthy

9th: CamBam

8th: Pints and Pups

7th:  Your Mom, Dear Watson

6th: Jeopardy Losers Club

5th: Wild Wicked Women

4th: Low Expectations

3rd: Mellifluous or cacophonous (Paul's team)

2nd: Wino Combo

1st: Wheel Deal Sex Appeal

 

As always, teams that have at least one member arrive prior to 6pm win an extra $10 if they take first prize.

 

Thanks lads and lasses for playing. Looking forward to seeing you all again this coming Thursday. For a bonus three points next week, on Round 2 Question 1, draw for me something "Spring-y".

 

Best,

 

Adam

Wheel House - Let's Do Trivia - 15 May 2025

Happy new week trivia players, Have you taken a look in the night's sky recently? How's that Moon looking? If you didn't join us last week at the Wheelhouse for Let's do Trivia, you probably have no idea what I am talking about. But if you were in attendance, you know I'm referring to our big theme revolving around our Lunar friend. That's right, many questions dealing with the Moon (and some people with the surname Moon) were giving players a run for their money. Completely unplanned, the Moon theme fit as last Thursday was our first time of the season with the tent taken down. We had great weather for it. The crowd was light-ish with 27 players on 10 teams playing for the top prizes of $40 Wheelhouse Cash for first place and our second place prize of $10 Wheel House cash . Some of the questions with the Moon theme came easy to teams, others well... not so much. We saw a lower scoring first half and then we saw a brutal second half. Round five was tough fo...

Wheel House - Let's Do Trivia - 1 May 2025

Hello trivia brothers and sisters ! Let's go through our weekly recap of this past Thursday's Let's Do Trivia match at The Wheelhouse Beer Garden . It was a great crowd of 37 players on 10 teams playing for the top prizes of $50 Wheelhouse Cash for first place and our second place prize of $10 Wheel House cash . We had a big theme to most of the questions. We were asking about things to do with siblings, brothers, and sisters. Just like the previous week, this match saw lower scoring than normal in our first half of the game. Coming out of halftime, Raven Lunatics held first place with 35 points.   Wino Combo and Wheel Deal Sex Appeal were tied for second place with 34 points. Dare I say the second half got slightly easier? Points were still dropped but I believe every team got at least a 6 pointer correct in each round. Entering the final question , Wheel Deal Sex Appeal held the top spot with 69 (nice) points. Wino Combo were right behind them with 67 points. ...

Wheel House - Let's Do Trivia - 17 July 2025

Good day week Trivia teams, Let's do a quick look back to last Thursday night's Let's Do Trivia match at the Wheelhouse.  47 players on 9 teams joined us to beat the heat and beat other teams for the top prizes of $50 Wheelhouse Cash for first place and $10 Wheel House cash for second  place. There wasn't a larger theme throughout the match, but some questions did have an Australian touch to them. There were also a few Bee Gees related questions, even though I would contend they are not Australian and only spent a part of their career down under.  As is usual, most teams had a successful first half of the match. After our Bee Gees halftime question, we had many point totals that were close together in our rankings.  My Personal Favorites  led with 42 points. Followed as closely as you can get was  Why So Serious with 41 points. Wino Combo  was in third place with 39 points. Like I always say though, every team top to bottom still were in playgoing into the se...
