Wheel House – Let's Do Trivia - 15 June 2023

Welcome to the new week Wheel House Trivia mates!

It's Adam taking a break from relaxing poolside to give you an update on last week's Let's Do Trivia match at The Wheel House Beer Garden. Many questions centered around songs, their artists, and their length.

We had one of our largests groups ever at the Wheel House. 65 players on 18 teams were duking it out for the top prize of $105 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.

The entire game was a tough one and the first half of the game set the standard for no team acing an entire round. With a controversial halftime in the books, only five points separated the top six teams from each other. The second round afforded teams more opportunities for success as we saw more perfect rounds with all answers in a single round being correct. One of the toughest final questions was asking teams to order three of the shortest Billboard number 1 singles by original recording time from shortest to longest. Longest being relative as all three songs clocked in at under two minutes. The top finishing team, SummerFun, was in tenth place going into the final. They were one of only two teams to nail the correct order and wager any points to make one of the biggest ranking jumps during a single game! The other team that answered correctly, perennial favorites Wino Combo, did not wager any points and landed in third place. First time joining the Thursday fun, team Vulva-nator finished in second place and won a $25 Wheel House gift certificate.


On Round 2 Question 1 for a bonus 3 points next match, draw someone on the Moon.

Here are your final rankings:

18th: KDs
17th: Yo Mama
16th: Camp Savage
15th: Trivia Caroline

14th: Your Mom, Dear Watson

13th: Wasted Whales

12th: The Journey

11th: Pints AND Pups

10th: Crazy 8s

9th: Beauty Before Brains

8th: QUIZMO Unveiled as Second Trump Valet

7th: Jeopardy Losers Club

6th: Low Expectations

5th: Erik's Team

4th:  Wheel Deal Sex Appeal

3rd:  Wino Combo

2nd: Vulva-Nators

1st: SummerFun



First place prize next week will be back to a $40 Wheel House gift certificate. Second place will land a $10 Wheel House gift certificate. Teams that arrive before 6pm are able to receive an extra $10 added to the top prize if they end the game victorious. 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 round with either the song title or the artist.


Have a wonderful weekend players!


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...
