Wheel House - Let's Do Trivia - 29 May 2025

Hello Trivia Faithful,

How about we jump right into our recap of last Thursday night's Let's Do Trivia match at the Wheelhouse. While the skies tried to threaten it,  we were clear to stay outside other than a light chill in the air. There were 28 players on 7 teams playing for the top prizes of $40 Wheelhouse Cash for first place and our second place prize of $10 Wheel House cash.

No real theme to our questions last Thursday. Apart from a tough first round, the three first half rounds were fruitful for most of the teams. We saw a lower scoring first half and then we saw a brutal second half. Coming out of halftime Wino Combo led the rankings with 40 points. The house team Wheel Deal Sex Appeal were behind them in second place with 37 points. Riot Penguins were right there with the leaders holding third place with 36 points.

Entering the final question, Wino Combo held onto their lead with 67 points. Riot Penguins were in a close second with 65 points. In third place was Wild Wicked Women. Our top two teams answered the final question and maxed out their wager. So that meant no late drama here as Wino Combo took home the top prize of $40 Wheelhouse cash, plus the extra $10 Wheelhouse cash for arriving before 6pm and finishing in first place. Riot Penguins took home the second place prize. Top prize this week is $40 Wheelhouse cash and second place will earn $10 Wheel House cash.

Here we have the final rankings:


7th: Cruiser's Companions

6th: Wheel Deal Sex Appeal

5th: Wild Wicked Women 

4th: Raven Lunatics

3rd: Dickens Cider

2nd: Riot Penguins

1st: Wino Combo

For a 3-point bonus on round 2 question 1, draw Kermit the Frog.

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. The Music Bonus original song was played last Thursday night at some point during our match...

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...
