Wednesday night at Keyworth Brewing Co. was nothing short of electric as PubGuys Trivia brought two high-energy games, a packed house, and a brand-new twist: trivia questions displayed on the TVs throughout the brewery! The crowd went wild for the upgraded visual experience, the brews were flowing, Pizza Buzz was slinging fresh pies, it was the perfect storm of brainpower, beer, and unforgettable competition.
GAME 1 — The Battle of the Board Begins
From the jump, teams locked in for a tight three-round contest. Round 1 saw several teams start strong, with **Grumpy Aliens**, **Shugaless**, and **Turner? I hardly knew her** each putting up 5 points to set the pace. But as the TV-displayed questions rolled on, the dynamic shifted sharply in Round 2.
**Grumpy Aliens** absolutely exploded in Round 2 with a dominating **9-point round**, the biggest single-round performance of the entire night. That blast of trivia firepower launched them far ahead of the pack, creating a lead they never surrendered. Meanwhile, the mid-tier battle tightened: **Killer Rabbits** and **Turner? I hardly knew her** remained neck-and-neck, both finishing Round 2 with 5 points, keeping the pressure high.
Round 3 brought intensity—but no one could chase down the Aliens. Consistency sealed the deal, and even with a late push from multiple teams, the top three held firm.
Game 1 Final Top 3
1. 🥇 **Grumpy Aliens** – 19
2. 🥈 **Killer Rabbits** – 14 *(wins tiebreaker)*
3. 🥉 **Turner? I hardly knew her** – 14
*Killer Rabbits and Turner tied for second, forcing a lightning-round tiebreaker. One player from each team sprinted forward, scribbling answers under the 10-second countdown. Killer Rabbits edged just a bit closer to perfection, claiming the silver spot while Turner took home bronze.*
**GAME 2 — The Night of Redemption & Revenge**
With teams warmed up and the crowd buzz louder than ever, Game 2 kicked off with a dramatic shake-up. **Shugaless**, **Killer Rabbits**, and **Sad Puppies** jumped out with strong Round 1 scores, but the night belonged to two teams on a mission.
By Round 2, **Sad Puppies** and **Turner? I hardly knew her** emerged as the clear frontrunners, matching each other point for point. At the end of Round 2, the leaderboard was a dead heat, and the tension in the room was unmistakable.
Round 3 became an all-out sprint. **Turner?** dropped a massive **8-point round**, while **Sad Puppies** countered with a clutch 5. The crowd roared as the totals tallied: **a tie for first place at 17-17**.
That meant one thing… **Tie-Breaker Showdown #2.**
Under the tight 10-second rule, one brave representative from each team stepped forward. After an intense pause, Turner’s answer proved closest—securing the victory by the slimmest of margins.

Two games. Two tie-breaker shootouts. A packed brewery. Trivia on the TVs. NFL on the screens. And the fiercest crowd around.
