at The Rec Room Roundhouse: The Laughter Stops Now, May 21st 2019 TRIVIA CLUB CHAMPS

May 22, 2019

It was another return to The Hall for Trivia Club at The Rec Room, as we enjoyed our seventy-ninth event in The Roundhouse! Toronto was settled in (and outside) for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Raptors and Bucks, but those who weren’t basketballing were ready for trivia at our flagship location! This brought a diverse group of teams out to compete, including a few returning faces!

Even after leading after round one of  Trivia Classic , The Laughter Stops Now (also known as Dead on the Inside) still had strong competition from KES who were over in the corner of the room but also just four points behind! Nine points behind in third and not a full team until late in the first round were One Man Army, who began +2 but would eventually become +4! Five points behind were late comers Head in the Cloud, who did well even after missing half of the first round, as did their friends on a separate team who rounded out the Top Five (top five top five) Paolo and the boyz!

In  Tri-Pardo , our second round at The Roundhouse, The Laughter Stops Now would gain twenty-seven points, while Paolo and the boyz would lose ten points, and in between Head in the Cloud would gain twenty-six points and take second place away from KES who had grabbed seven points in our Pardo round! This brought us to a  Trivia Finale  round that would see if The Laughter Stops Now would falter or if our team of regulars who had been late to the Champions circle, would win their third Golden VHS, and the first time for Dead on the Inside to do so as a duo!

Answering the final question correct, and finishing with 128 points, which was not only good enough for first tonight but the highest score Canada-wide at The Rec Room this week… THE LAUGHTER STOPS NOW! As noted before, this was their first win as a duo, with the first win happening solo, and the second win as a trio!

Congrats one more time to Dead on the Inside’s The Laughter Stops Now! Thank you to everyone who came in on a lovely basketball-mad kind of night to enjoy Canada’s Greatest Game Show at The Rec Room! We will see you all again NEXT TUESDAY for more Trivia Club at The Rec Room on May 28th! Click here for a TOP FIVE SCOREBOARD and run down on Trivia Club events across Canada at The Rec Room!
