We had 9 teams and 32 players at Tannin and Tonic by Porchvue Winery last night for a very special episode of Ramshackle Trivia! It was all about TV from the 90s, and it came down to a thrilling cliffhanger finish!
Don't Know Schmitt was in their element last night. They had a perfect game with just one question to go, with Mouse Rat and the Food Fighters in 2nd and 3rd. The Chick and the Duck were tied with the Rugrats for 4th place, 93 points off the lead. But oh, that last question ...
The show in question was seen by 1.1 billion people worldwide in 1996, making it the most watched program in history. But apparently, none of those 1.1 billion were on any of the top three teams leading into the Ultimate Game Changer ... Which gave the Chick and the Duck their opportunity to strike! Their correct answer put them on top by a razor thin 2 point margin! Kudos to you, C & D!
Meanwhile, Don't Know Schmitt and Mouse Rat's strategic wagers on the UGC limited the damages, and enabled them to hold off Saved by the Belvedere and Win or Booze to retain their places on the podium. Congratulations to our winners, and thanks so much to everyone for coming out to play!
Our next super special Saturday night game at T & T will be on Saturday, February 8, when we'll be having an evening of Pittsburgh sports trivia! That game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. We will have our game faces on! Hope to see you then for another exciting episode of Ramshackle Trivia!
