Listen...

We have been working on this game, retooling it, bringing in and weeding out good and bad material...since Christmas '23. We build the games in parallel so that we don't get redundant year over year.

This is how much we care about the presentation of this game.

It's our most-important game of the year. You have made it an annual tradition for yourselves, your friends, your family. We take that very seriously to provide a challenging, balanced, fun evening of Christmas trivia.

We sincerely hope you join us on Monday the 23rd at The 3 Spot for our FINAL game of 2024 and join in the fun of Holly Jolly Trivia. It's gonna be...like a Christmas tree...lit.

See you Monday!

Well, well, well...what a night we had last night at The 3 Spot! TWELVE teams strong with many fan favorites (not BJ)...we had us some Us, we had us some Dudes and Duds, we had us some Chubbmarine, we had us a smattering of Electric Lemonade as well as your Quizzy's, Branes, Cougars, Jeffery Dumber and even a couple new teams joining in on the fun. 6pm...Monday night...Randy and I continue to marvel at who we get to play our game of absolutely average trivia and erratic edutainment each and every event. Thank you all. Seriously, thank you.

The game tho...dayyyyuuuuuuuum. It was darn near close to perfect...wait, strike that...it was totally perfect. 2 rounds and FOUR different winners. That, to us, is a perfect evening.

Round1 had a 52.4% correct answer rate while Round 2 had a 61.9% correct answer rate (always easier, see).

In round 1, Us was your first place team and they chose Terms over Words and they chose...wisely. The answer was 'Deja Vu' and like deja vu, The Cougars nabbed another first place victory with The Branes FINALLY getting themselves into their rightful slotting in 2nd place. Us just didn't bet enough...they pulled the chicken switch.

The always easier round 2 lit up the leaderboard with questions about female sleuths, the Battle of Midway and the definition of 'merrythought'. Chubbmarine was a surprise 1st place team and they chose Companies over Actors heading into the final. Did they choose wisely or poorly?

Poorly.

They were unable to come up with the Japanese word for 6 which also doubles as the name of a media streaming company (Roku) and fell out of the top position, giving way for the ALWAYS SNEAKY GOOD Quizzy Guillespe for first place honors and The Dudes and the Duds for 2nd place which is their league leading THIRD 2nd place finish! Kudos!!!

We love seeing you all and we only have ONE MORE GAME left in 2024 and it's an insanely well-crafted Holly Jolly Christmas trivia game. We hope you can attend, hope you partake in the fun, tradition and excitement of ugly sweaters or xmas pjs and enjoy what has become an annual Christmas event.

Until then - stay curious!

The 3 Spot is such a wonderful place for trivia and I can't believe they've never had it before us, but we're so thankful for the opportunity to bring our brand of small-batch, not-at-all-corporate, 19 year old hosts reading in a monotone game to you all.

Even tho we are away this evening, we'd be remiss if we didn't recap our fun little game from last at The 3 Spot, give a quick update and recognize our winners.

As always, first and foremost, to all the people who come out to play. It was so great to see Branes, BJ, Quizzy, Dudes and Duds, Jeffery Dumber, the triumphant return of US from our TB location as well as a couple of new teams joining in on our fun: The Dynamic Duo and the Accountaholics!

One team that was noticeably absent was All in the Family as Miranda FINALLY gave birth to their first born. They named their daughter Randi...because...you know...of course. Please know you were congratulated in real time by everyone after the announcement!

Next up, before I get into the game details, I really want to thank The 3 Spot staff and management for everything they do to make the night run as smooth as it does. From our perch at the 'dais of knowledge' we see all the running the servers are doing, all the food and drink coming out and how quickly and then during the wind down, how the tabs come out and get returned so that we ALL can get you out as close to 8pm as humanly possible.

But how was the game?

Great question...I personally have congestion head with these weather changes and I was not feeling my best and bringing all the not insurance seminar energy that Randy brings...tripping over my words, pauses, etc. Definitely want to regroup this week and weekend so that we can finish out the year's games on an energetic note.

However, the game was perfect (as it always is), categories were well shuffled up but we are challenged with an incredibly intelligent grouping of followers (not BJ). Round 1 had a SIXTY-FOUR PERCENT correct answer percentage, had a social on question #1 (King's Hawaiian) and saw some incredible scores on the leaderboard. But...as sometimes happens...first place teams choose poorly. Such was the case at the end of R1. You hate to see it!

Quizzy Guillespe, not yet on our overall leaderboard for 1st or 2nd (incredibly) led R1 and chose Famous People over Movie Link but was not able to come up with the correct Mike who graced the covers of magazines like Time, SI, Life and People back in 1998 (Tyson, not Jordon). That launched Jeffery Dumber into first place with 118 points with our new team The Dynamic Duo winning their first reward of their trivia career at 2nd place with 62 pts. Crazy ending.

Round 2...was it 'easier'?

Yes - it's hard to believe but R2 had a 76.6 correct answer percentage and also enjoyed a social (Strawberry Shortcake friends!?!). And like Vu JaDe, Quizzy was AGAIN in first place heading into our final. Afterall, they played a PERFECT (always easier) ROUND 2. They were not to be denied!
..or were they?

Their choices this time around their choice was Autos or Toy Brands...they took no time at all to select Toy Brands. Question involved an early 20th century toy company named to honor the accomplishments of Marconi and Lindbergh.

A: Radio Flyer

We had a Mattel and a couple Milton Bradleys, but Quizzy were not thrown off and achieved their FIRST 1st place finish (at this location) with 129 points after 4 weeks. Jeffery Dumber nabbed 2nd a single point behind with 128 (good night for Dumber).

Friends, we appreciate you so much...it's so fun to build these games and see how they end up and who knows what and what is not what we might consider "general knowledge" in a way. We really appreciate you supporting whatever it is Randy and I bring to the events as well as getting somewhere by or before 6pm to play the game. It amazes us, we say it all the time.

Have great weeks, stay safe in the snow that's coming tomorrow and until next week's games - stay curious!

We have had some serious FUN this week already and it's only Wednesday!

Monday night at The 3 Spot saw a spirited game with many familiar faces and some newcomers. First round was more of an always easier Round 2 with a 69.9% correct answer rate and gave us our first social at this location! We celebrated mightily! Round 2 enjoyed a 68.6% correct answer rate. Our First place winners were BJ & J and All in the Family. Second places were taken by the Mo-Rons and The Cougars. We also finally ironed out our tech issues and the game ran perfectly on time and didn't impede the Browns MNF game!

Tuesday night...whew...that's a different story. Game ran on time, for sure at Flyers Bar & Grill, but wow, this was like AP Bio at times. Round 1 was a tough slog through some very challenging questions. While we did have a social, we also encountered an antisocial in the regular questions and for the final. Round 1 only had a 46% correct answer rate. Round 2 lived up to the hype with a 60% correct answer rate. Unfortunately both finals were antisocials so our very smart, very invested, very savvy game participants got down to their strategic wagering. First place awards went to The Cougars (XMarks playing solo) and Quizzy Guillespe (great to see them all again) and 2nd place honors were awarded to one team and this is not a typo: PARMAsan Cheese (!). This team is getting hot people. They were getting questions a more seasoned and balanced team would get...the vibe was great and I enjoyed their "Avengers, assemble" action after every correct answer.

Thanks for everyone who supports whatever night they choose to come see us, it is very much appreciated - do not think we take it lightly. Until the next time we meet....stay curious!

Happy Thanksgiving to our very supportive trivia family. The NYPD marching band is currently playing The Final Countdown in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade as I'm posting this...there are no coincidences.

Have a great day!

Had a great game last night at The 3 Spot - thanks to all ELEVEN teams who showed up at 6 o'clock on a Monday evening to support the night and play our unique blend of questions and answers.

We promo'd that we fast-tracked this game because we thought so highly of it as it came together and man did it shake out how we thought. Round 1, tough round...contained some actual trivia...scores were low, but we had a fair amount of game changers, but it only had a 37.3% correct answer rate - and BJ wasn't even in attendance to sink that percentage!

Round 2 was true-to-form 'always easier' with a correct answer rate of 60.2. Not a cakewalk, but a little looser. However, for 2 weeks straight we didn't have any socials or anti-socials. Still waiting to celebrate with the entirety of the crowd.

Congratulations to our winners!
First Place: Jeffery Dumber and The Bookworms
Second Place: The Bookworms and The Dudes and the Duds

We appreciate everyone's patience as we continue to work out our tech issues at this location, we have a good handle on what we need to do to keep that game on it's 2-hour track.

Even though the Browns are on Monday Night Football next week, The 3 Spot does want us to continue to cover that 6pm - 8pm window, so roll up your sleeves, sharpen your pencils and get ready for another awesome game and a great location!

Have a great Thanksgiving and - stay curious!
