Wheel House - Let's Do Trivia - 27 July 2023

Hoody Trivia Faithful!

It's Adam coming to you to update everyone on this past Thursday's Let's Do Trivia match at The Wheel House Beer Garden.

It was a scorcher with humidity and temperatures higher than all teams' final scores. 38 players on 11 teams were sweating it out for the top prize of $80 Wheel House gift certificate for first place and $10 second place certificate.

Another tough first round for teams left only one team with over 30 points going into the halftime bonus. Dickens Cider held first place at halftime with 39 points. QUIZMO! Cried a Little When He Saw me were close in second place at 37 points. The second half was just as tough with questions that challenged teams. Entering the final question, QUIZMO! Cried a Little When He Saw Me were the top dog with 69 points. Wheel Deal Sex Appeal were right on their tails with 68 points. A classic rivalry renewed for the top two spots was at hand. Every team, but that night's winners answered the final question incorrectly and wagered either 10 or 20 points. Wheel Deal Sex Appeal was the only team to correctly organize, most to least, the population of the United Kingdom, Uganda, Ukraine, and the United Arab Emirates. That means the top prize of $80 Wheel House cash rolls over to next week to make the first place pot $120 Wheel House cash. Melting!!!! took home the second place $10 Wheel House cash prize.

For a bonus three points this coming Thursday, draw Barbie and/or Ken.

Here are your final rankings:

11th: Dingo Sisters

10th: Liggy Smalls

9th:Glass Half Full

8th: Crazy 8s

7th: Dickens Cider

6th: Jeopardy Losers Club

5th: Your Mom Dear Watson

4th: QUIZMO Cried a Little When He Saw Me

3rd: Wino Combo featuring Dewey (and Grant)

2nd: Melting

1st: Wheel Deal Sex Appeal


Teams that arrive before 6pm are able to receive an extra $10 added to the top prize if they end the game in first place.


Hope you all survived the heat and I'll see you all on Thursday!


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...
