Wheel House – Let's Do Trivia - 1 June 2023

Happy New Week Trivia Dudes and Dudettes!

Adam coming to you live from one of those abandoned malls stuck in the 1980s to fill everyone in on last Thursday's Let's Do Trivia match at The Wheel House Beer Garden. Many questions had to do with TV and Music from the decade of big hair and bigger shoulder pads.

As always at one of the best trivia venues around, the teams and players come out to The Wheel House Beer Garden. We had 62 players on 13 teams aiming for the top prize of a $55 Wheel House gift certificate for first place, $25 second place Wheel House cash (because we had more than 50 players), and a $10 third place certificate.

No team was a runaway leader during the entire match with the top ten teams never separated by more than 10 points each. QUIZMO is Tom Wambsgans in Disguise, Low Expectations, Pints No Pups :( , Wheel Deal Sex Appeal, and Wino Combo all moved through the top five or so positions throughout the regular rounds before the final. Many teams got the final question correct and bet the full 20 possible points on their certainty. QUIZMO is Tom Wambsgans in Disguise took the grand first place prize of $55 Wheel House cash plus an extra $10 for arriving before 6:00pm. They only won by a single point over Wheel Deal Sex Appeal so $25 Wheel house cash rolls over to next week's top prize. Wild Wicked Women earned $10 Wheel House cash for third place

Here are your final rankings:

13th: Gage

12th: Beach Bums

11th: Yo Mamma

10th: Beauty Before Brains

9th: Wino Combo

8th: Crazy 8s

7th:  Low Expectations

6th: Pints No Pups

5th: Your Mom, Dear Watson

4th: We Thought This Was Speed Dating

3rd:  Wild Wicked Women

2nd: Wheel Deal Sex Appeal

1st: QUIZMO is Tom Wambsgans in Disguise


On Round 2 Question 1 for a bonus 3 points next match, draw the best thing about the 80s.


First place prize next week will be a $65 Wheel House gift certificate since the house team finished second. Teams that arrive before 6pm are able to receive an extra $10 added to the top prize if they happen to win the match. Arrive early to find out the one song played between 6:00 and 6:30 before the game starts that will give you an answer during the first half round with either the song title or the artist.


Have a gnarly weekend kids!


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...
