Wheel House - Let's Do Trivia - 29 August 2024

Hello Wheelhouse Trivia faithful!

Time for the recap of this past Thursday's Let's Do Trivia match at The Wheelhouse Beer Garden. We had 36 players on 9 teams join us at The Wheel House competing for a top prize of $50 Wheel House Cash or the second place prize of $10 Wheel House cash. I had ENOUGH with technology and we just went back to the old school system of coming up and delivering your answers to me in person. The owner of the company has provided me with a Google sheet to receive answers to know instead of gmail. We will see how that works.

It was a tough night for all teams with questions that kept you all thinking. Our top scoring team after halftime was More Dicken's Cider with 38 points. Wild Wicked Women and Brew Rouges were tied for second place with 37 points. The hits kept coming in the second half and final question. After sitting well in the bottom half of the table most of the night Wheel Deal Sex Appeal answered the final question correctly and wagedered 20 points. That was good enough to blast them to the top of the leaderboard after all was said and done. Wild Wicked Women took second place rand $10 Wheelhouse cash. The top prize this week will be $90 Wheelhouse cash.

Take a look at the final rankings below to see how things went down:

9th: Jay Bo

8th: Comfortably Dumb

7th: Wino Combo

6th: The Breakfast Club

5th: Power Station (Thank you again for the power cord Joe and Rob)

4th: Mre Dicken's CIder

3rd: Root [Riot] Penguins

2nd: Wild Wicked Women

1st: Wheel Deal Sex Appeal

Win first place AND at least one member of your team arrives before 6pm, earn an extra $10. Listen to the setlist between 6pm and 6:30pm for an answer to a question in round 1. Also this week's cover song was played in the playlist from last week.

For a 3-point bonus on round 2 question 1, draw the Google logo. 1 EXTRA BONUS POINT for using the correct colors for each letter.

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...
