Wheel House - Let's Do Trivia - 12 February 2026

Good day, WheelHouse Trivia faithful

Let's get right to it. Last week wasn't just a game. It was a case study in momentum… and how fragile it is. Six teams. Big swings. And a finish that felt like the final two minutes of a playoff game. For most of the night, Wheel Deal Sex Appeal controlled the board. Calm. Consistent. In the lead through the bulk of regulation. They played it smart and methodical—the kind of performance that usually ends with a handshake and a payout.

Then came the Final Question. Every single team wagered 20. High risk. High conviction. No hedging. And only one team got it right. Wino Combo. Twenty points. Clean hit. From chasing the pack to jumping the leaderboard in one swing. That's not incremental growth. That's a hostile takeover. They finished with 88 points, vaulting past Wheel Deal Sex Appeal, who landed at 59 after the miss. It was the kind of finish that reminds you: in trivia, as in life, it's not where you are most of the time, it's where you are at the end.

Here's how the final rankings shook out:

🥇 1st – Wino Combo (88) 
🥈 2nd – Wheel Deal Sex Appeal (59)
🥉 3rd – My Personal Favorites (44) 
4th – Why So Serious (44) 
5th – Raven Lunatics (36)
6th – Beer Today, Gone Tomorrow (19) 

If there's a lesson here, it's simple: protect the lead, but never assume it's safe. Because all it takes is one question, one wager, one team willing to swing.

Sharpen your pencils. Manage your risk. See you Thursday.

AI totally wrote everything above this point. I was busy today. 

For a bonus 3 points on Round 2 Question 1, draw the outline of the state of Maryland.

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 at some point during our match last week.

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. ...
