Week #161 – Thursday Quiz @ The Compass for Macmillan Cancer Support
The penultimate week of the Thursday Pub Quiz at The Compass for Macmillan Cancer Support saw another busy night. with 15 teams in attendance at The Compass.
In Round One, “Craig & Mike”, “Tequila Mockingbird” and “The Clan” all made perfect starts, scoring 10/10. Despite earning 2 Bonus Points each, it was “Harbour Lights” who were the early leaders, scoring 18 points with their Joker card.
The topic for the Word Puzzle Round this week was ‘Dingbats’ – and “Tequila Mockingbird” continued their perfect start, scoring 20 points with their Joker, adding two more bonus points into the bargain.
In Round 3, “The Bridies” scored 10/10 to earn two more Bonus Points, but they were out-done by “The Clan” who played their Joker to score a maximum 20 points to win the ‘Multiple Choice’ round adding a further 2 Bonus Points to their tall as well.
The theme for the Picture Round this week was ‘Iconic Hairstyles’ – the teams were given pictures of ten well-known celebs, but their faces were covered with masks (the celebs, not the teams!) and so all they had to go on was the hairstyles themselves. Quite a few teams managed to get all ten correct, but “Dunderheids” and “The Stoaters” both played their Jokers to get a maximum 20 points, plus 2 Bonus Points apiece.
In Round 5, the Themed Round this week was a music round – ‘Name The Rock & Roll Artist’. The music was certainly popular, with lots of our teams bopping about in their seats. “Universally Challenged” were the winners in this round, with a Joker-boosted 14 points
In ‘Total Wipeout’ this week, the Snowball Jackpot had increased to £20, but it was a pretty dismal round for our teams – TWELVE teams scoring zero and “Tequila Mockingbird” top-scoring on 5 points.
As there were no winners this week, the Jackpot will be £30 for next week!
The final ‘Guess Who?’ round saw SEVEN teams correctly guess Oscar-winning actor Forest Whittaker as our mystery celebrity – albeit on the fourth clue! “Smarteenies On Tour” were drawn out and they won the £20 cash prize for the round.
Another close-run quiz saw “Tequila Mockingbird” win on 80 points. to get their hands on the £25 Greene King Brewery Gift Card this week.
We look forward to seeing you at The Compass this Thursday from 8pm.
