The weather outside may have been dark and stormy, but that didn't stop the dedicated trivia enthusiasts from gathering at Cowtown Brewing Co. for another thrilling night of trivia hosted by the ever-entertaining Angry Irishman. With the rain pelting down outside, the brewery was buzzing with excitement and anticipation as teams prepared to battle it out in two intense rounds of trivia. Regular heavy hitters and first-timers alike filled the room, each with their eyes on the prize and the bragging rights that came with it.
Game 1: A Battle of the Titans
The first game kicked off with high energy, and it became clear early on that this would be a fiercely competitive night. The Peasant Workers, a well-known team in the trivia circuit, came out swinging, racking up an impressive 14 points after the first two rounds. Their strong start put them in the lead, but they were closely followed by Trivia Chumps and Hot Tequila, who were nipping at their heels with 13 points each. Meanwhile, Jerk Store, another fan favorite, was not far behind with 11 points. It was evident that they would need a strong performance in Round 3 if they wanted to have a shot at the win. Further down the leaderboard, A Drinking Team with a Trivia Problem was struggling to keep up, hanging on with a faint hope of a comeback.
As Round 3 commenced, tension filled the air. The Peasant Workers, feeling the pressure, managed to score only 3 points, leaving them vulnerable to an upset. Trivia Chumps, who had been so strong in the earlier rounds, could only muster a single point, dashing their hopes for victory. This set the stage for a dramatic finale. Jerk Store, known for their ability to thrive under pressure, came through in spectacular fashion. With an astounding 8 points in Round 3 and an additional 8 bonus points, they surged to the top, pulling off a stunning comeback to take first place. Hot Tequila also performed admirably, earning 5 points in the round and securing another 7 bonus points to move ahead of the faltering Trivia Chumps and clinch second place.
When the dust settled, the final standings for Game 1 were clear: Jerk Store in first, Hot Tequila in second, and the Peasant Workers, despite their strong start, were left to lament what might have been. The crowd erupted with cheers and applause for Jerk Store’s unexpected triumph, proving once again that in trivia, it’s never over until it’s over.
Congrats to our game 1 winners!

With the excitement of Game 1 still fresh, the teams quickly regrouped for Game 2. The big question on everyone's mind: Could Jerk Store pull off a back-to-back win, or would another team rise to the occasion? The game got off to a blazing start, with Jerk Store establishing themselves as the team to beat by racing to 16 points after just two rounds. A Drinking Team with a Trivia Problem, determined to improve on their earlier performance, kept pace, but they remained three points behind the leaders going into the final round.
Meanwhile, Trauma Bondage, Trivia Chumps, and Hot Tequila were all within striking distance, but they knew they needed a nearly perfect Round 3 to challenge for the top spot. As the final questions were read and answers submitted, the atmosphere grew tense with anticipation. Hot Tequila and Trivia Chumps each managed 5 points in the final round, securing a tie for fourth place but falling short of a podium finish.
Trauma Bondage delivered an impressive performance in Round 3, scoring 8 points and briefly looking like they might pull off an upset. However, Jerk Store, riding high from their previous win, kept their cool under pressure and scored 6 points, just enough to stay ahead of Trauma Bondage by 3 points.
Yet, it was A Drinking Team with a Trivia Problem who provided the most thrilling twist of the night. With a phenomenal 8 points in Round 3 and an additional 5 bonus points, they leapfrogged Jerk Store to take the first-place spot in a dramatic upset. Their victory not only denied Jerk Store a consecutive win but also set the room alight with cheers and high-fives. It was a testament to the unpredictable nature of trivia nights, where fortunes can change in an instant.
Congrats to our game 2 winners!
