Tonight’s Trivia Recap: The Sassier, the Smarter

Well, well, well. Another night of trivia glory, questionable wagers, and at least three teams who clearly thought this was karaoke night. Let’s get into it.

Regal Beagles came to flex—and boy, did they. With a spicy 96 points, they ruled the room like a pub quiz monarchy. Clean answers, bold wagering, and just the right amount of smug. We bow before the Beagle empire.

Hypnotoads Revenge didn’t need to hypnotize anyone to climb to 93 points—though we wouldn’t be surprised if they did. Solid rounds, a fat final wager, and a brainpower flex that says, “Yes, we are smarter than you.”

Wolfpack howled their way to 90 with the kind of steady climb that makes you nervous. One minute you’re ahead, next minute they’re nipping at your heels and stealing your trivia trophy. Classic pack behavior.

C Squared and We Suck at Trivia both ended with 88, but let’s be honest: one of those names is doing a lot more heavy lifting than the other. Spoiler: it’s not C Squared. Let this be a lesson in branding, folks.

Portillo’s Parking Lot rolled into the mid-70s with a respectable 74, probably still trying to figure out how to turn left. Points for consistency, and extra points if you brought fries.

The End of The End put all their eggs in the “strong start, no finish” basket. They slammed the first half, then ghosted us harder than your last Tinder match. Still, 69 is a number people remember. Nice.

Smarty Pints finally lived up to their name… kind of. A zero in Round 1 followed by a big wager bounce brought them to 66. We’ll call it “growth.”

The Pope is a Cubs Fan had faith, but it wasn’t enough to convert that into points. They ended with 61, which feels like a divine compromise.

Barley Legal teetered between brilliance and bankruptcy, ending at 59. Insert your own pun about maturity here—we’re tired.

Tipsy Dick: the name alone gets you bonus points, but your wager strategy? Not so much. A drunken stumble to 58.

Houston We Have an Answer needed more than just an answer—they needed several. Landed at 57, which is orbit-adjacent but nowhere near liftoff.

Potent Potables had one too many. A bold final wager backfired and dropped them to 51. Still potent, just not particularly… effective.

Single Pringles popped and then stopped. After Round 4, it was just crumbs. A gentle 39 for their trouble.

High School Education came in with enthusiasm and a pen, and that’s about it. A valiant 31—proof that effort is not the same as success.

Barf Lies and  Mozzarella brought up the rear with 20 and 8, respectively. Mozzarella at least gets credit for consistency. Every round was “meh,” and that’s almost impressive.

Until next time, trivia warriors—study hard, drink smart, and please double-check your wagers.
