Game 1: A Nail-Biter Until the End
The atmosphere at Keyworth Brewing Co. was electric as the first game of trivia night kicked off. The tension was palpable with three teams—Okapi, Did you know, we didn't know, and Schmucklenuts—locked in a tie for first place with 13 points each after two rounds. Not far behind was Killer Rabbit, a crowd favorite, sitting at 11 points, with X2, Beer Necessities, Beer Pressure, and Club Shay Shay all within striking distance.
As the third round unfolded, the stakes grew higher. Four teams managed to snag six points in the final round, setting up a dramatic finish. Did you know, we didn’t know added their six points but only managed to pick up one bonus point, leaving them in third place with 20 points, just short of the leaders. The real showdown, however, was between Okapi and Schmucklenuts, both tied at 21 points, each having earned six points and two bonus points in the final round.
With the top spot on the line, a tiebreaker was inevitable. Representatives from Okapi and Schmucklenuts approached the host’s table, knowing the drill: one question, one answer, and just ten seconds to respond. The tension was thick as the two competitors quickly scribbled down their guesses. When the answers were revealed, it was Okapi who emerged victorious, their guess off by just a single point, securing them first place in a thrilling finish.
Meanwhile, Beer Necessities and Killer Rabbit rounded out the top five, finishing in fourth and fifth place, respectively, after a strong showing in the final round.
Game 1 Winners:
1st place – Okapi
2nd place – Schmucklenuts
Game 2: A Shocking Turn of Events
As the second game began, the question on everyone’s mind was whether Okapi could pull off a repeat victory. But it was clear from the start that Beer Necessities and Pivot had other plans, as both teams shot to the top of the leaderboard, tied for first place after two rounds. However, close behind were Club Shay Shay, Killer Rabbit, and Okapi, each just one point away from the leaders. The competition was fierce, with Know it Ales, Did you know, we didn’t know, and EeeBees all within two points of the top spot.
The third round was intense, and the results were anything but predictable. Beer Necessities confidently added seven points to their score, thinking they had the win in the bag. But the real shock came when Club Shay Shay, with an impressive 10-point haul in the final round, pulled off an upset to snatch first place. Pivot finished just outside the top three in fourth place, while Okapi, Know it Ales, and Schmucklenuts found themselves in a three-way tie for fifth.
The surprises didn’t end there. Killer Rabbit, with nine points in the final round, suddenly found themselves tied with Beer Necessities at 19 points, setting up yet another tie-breaker. The room held its breath as the two representatives took their places for the deciding question. In a twist of fate, Killer Rabbit, usually strong in these high-pressure moments, faltered, and Beer Necessities took second place, leaving Killer Rabbit to settle for third.
Game 2 Winners:
1st place – Club Shay Shay
2nd place – Beer Necessities
