Trivial Trivia

12/02/2025

Before I say anything, I just want to shoot a huge thanks to the teams that lost in the opening round that showed up the following week. That's some serious dedication and it means a lot to me personally.

The semifinal involved more craziness. In six matchups so far this season, FIVE of them have upsets. In this case, the juggernaut returning champions and top-seeded My Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem fell to the five-seed The Transtrivia Agenda while the six-seed The Secessionists finished their first-ever season in the final four by falling to the seven-seed Quizteama Aguilera.

What this means is that regardless of this week's outcome, we will have a brand new Season Champion! Neither of these teams have won a championship yet. Can't wait to see who it'll be.

You can see our bracket here: https://brackethq.com/b/qaq0c/
If you haven't moved on in the tournament, please still show up! If you lose in the tournament, would love to have you return for the end of the season. Always sad when it starts thinning out. It's still nightly trivia, so continue to come have fun!

Also, a quick shoutout to Panic! At The Trivia, who took home their second nightly prize this season!

This week, teams still in the tournament MAY NOT have new players on your team, unfortunately. Any player playing on your team has to have had played on your team during the regular season. Any new players will be asked to play on a separate team.

This week, our theme is...1980s MUSIC! Totally rad.

See you Thursday at 7:30pm at MB Lounge for our SEASON TEN CHAMPIONSHIP!

(I've been sick and behind - sorry!)

What a quarterfinal! Eight teams showed, so we had a full bracket, and THREE of the underdogs won! The Transtrivia Agenda has won the overall weekly title two weeks in a row, too! They'll need another big performance as they're matched up against My Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem in the semifinal.

We had our biggest night of trivia EVER last week! It was literally standing room only, as we had to bring extra chairs up from the basement, as The Transtrivia Agenda took home the most competitive weekly night of trivia in Trivial Trivia history!

The seeds are set and we are ready for the first round of the tournament! One team will win the tournament and the $250 associated with the privilege. But WHO WILL IT BE?! My Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem has won more than half of our titles at MB Lounge, but this is our most competitive season ever and every team has a shot.

Even with Halloween coming up, we still saw NINE teams last week! What's Glove Got To Do With It? pulled out the win on the back of another huge list round, marking the third time they've taken the weekly title and SECOND IN A ROW. Big shoutout to a big night from Transtrivia Agenda, too!

There is only ONE POINT separating our top two seeds (My Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem and Wand And A Rabbit) and third place is TIED! Everything is on the line going into this last week of Season Ten's regular season. Remember, only eight teams will qualify for the playoffs, so you need these points regardless of where you stand!

Don't forget that a team will earn 5 bonus points *per new recruit* they bring to that night of (regular season) trivia. To qualify, the new player will have to give me their first name and must be brand new to Trivial Trivia (across all seasons and teams). So - spread the word and bring your friends, family, workmates, and exes!

With the tournament coming up, a reminder that no player may play on a tournament team that hasn't played with the team during the regular season. This is the week to get your smart friends to join you!

Another big night last week! Nine teams played and for the first time in a few weeks, we have a new winner! What's Glove Got To Do With It? took the big W, finishing just seven points ahead of Wand And A Rabbit!

Remember that for this week, if anyone on your team is in a *proper* costume (not just a hat or something) as judged by me, your trivia god, your team will get a 5-point bonus! Happy spoopy season!

After a slow start, our returning season champions are back with a vengeance. They've won two in a row, this time on the back of an incredible 93-point Family Feud round. And with that, we're halfway through Season Four!

We also had a huge turnout last night; ten teams joined us! Let's see if we can keep upping the ante.

We did it, chat! Three weeks in the books.

After a rough start to the season, our reigning champs couldn't be held down forever - My Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem took their first weekly title of the season! Shoutout to Wand and a Rabbit, who finished second AGAIN - another great week for them.

In fact, Wand and a Rabbit has been so consistent that they've moved into #1 overall for the season! Panic! at the Trivia moves down to second this week followed by a rising My Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem at third.

We're so back.

It's Season Ten and you're late. Get to class. (Class is MB Lounge on Thursday nights)

Crazy week last week - the score was suuuuuper close...until it wasn't. Panic! at the Trivia overcame a 34-point banger from Wand and a Rabbit and even a SECESSION to take a big victory in front of a packed house.

As always, super flattered so many people show up and can't wait for Week Three. In that spirit - I'm introducing yet ANOTHER way to earn points. Moving forward, a team will earn 5 bonus points *per new recruit* they bring to that night of trivia. To qualify, the new player will have to give me their first name and must be brand new to Trivial Trivia (across all seasons and teams). So - spread the word and bring your friends, family, workmates, and exes!

Obviously, this rule does not apply to the tournament. Not only would that be unfair, anyone playing for you in the tournament must have played for you in the regular season.

This week, our theme is...HOW AN ENGINE WORKS! It might be a tougher one than normal but since the themes come from you...that's your fault.

See you tomorrow, Thursday at 7:30pm at MB Lounge for another night of brain-bending binging!

Miss me? I know you did.

But your wait is nearly over; we will be beginning Season Ten this Thursday, 9/18!

Can anyone stop My Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem? They've won five of the nine seasons so far and they're going for six. As reigning champions, they'll have the top buzzer slot this season.

Bring friends, roommates, and workmates - let's show up and pack MB Lounge.

Our theme this week was randomly chosen from our list and will be...

BEER!

See y'all on Thursday at 7:30pm! Get there early to secure a spot.

Remember, teams are limited to six players per team and no players can play for a team in the playoffs unless they played during the season.

08/19/2025

Update on timing: Season Ten will begin September 18th! A little later than I suggested but that's the date we've been given. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell strangers - be at MB Lounge on September 18th at 7:30 for a new season of Trivial Trivia!

06/17/2025

In what was a tight semifinal until the end, a couple of teams pulled away and we now have our Season Nine final set! Luigi's Mansione 3 advances after putting Simple Minds to bed and My Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem took the entire night's prize and likewise move on! Drinking Team has won the overall prize for both nights of the tournament but can they do it one more time?

My Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem is looking for their record fourth overall tournament title and Luigi's Mansione 3 is looking for their first. Regardless, this week will make Trivial Trivia history.

Shoutout to TERF Stompers who had a fantastic season, winning two weeks, and had a real shot at the title. I have zero doubts they'll be a top-tier team in the fall when we pick up Season Ten.

As a reminder, we'll return in late August or early September, so stay tuned here for updates.

Appropriately, our final theme for the season is...EMPIRES! Who will rise and be crowned? Who will falter and be conquered? Bring your friends, your loved ones, and randoms off the street because this should be a battle for the ages.

See y'all at MB Lounge at 7pm on Thursday (to secure your spot!)! Trivia starts at 7:30.

SEASON NINE, SEMIFINAL SCORES

(1) Luigi's Mansione 3 - [213 pts.] vs. (4) Simple Minds - [132 pts.]

With a surprise no-show by MUNDO DE GUANTES (emphasis on my accent) and a surprise re-visit by Pamela Anderson Should Never Have Gotten Plastic Surgery, our field was set last week and unsurprisingly, My Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem was back to true form. They know how to rise when it counts!

Our semifinal is now set and big shoutout to Simple Minds, who visit it for the first time! Only two teams will make it to the final, but who will it be?

As a reminder, we'll play a normal three-week tournament and then take a break for the summer. We'll return in late August or early September, so stay tuned here for updates.

And now for something completely different: this week's theme is...MONTY PYTHON!
