I still remember attending my first Trivia night back in 2013. A group of my coworkers were discussing some options for happy hour venues and when we saw that a spot down the street was hosting a Trivia Night, we decided to go for it. I was instantly hooked. When the opportunity arose to join the Last Call team, I was ecstatic. Working with a talented and creative team to spread my love of trivia across the country-what could be better! I currently manage sales and outreach in our west coast areas. Outside of work, I love to travel and am also an avid equestrian and Disney movie lover.All Posts

Next up, a People Trivia question challenges the Team to identify the music icon who divorced Cynthia Powell in 1968 after being married for six years. To test your knowledge of more show business powerhouses, check out the very first episode of the podcast for a round of EGOT Trivia.

Bonus Question

 

Today’s Bonus Question is a follow-up to the Food question from the first round. The Team is asked to guess how many calories are in a single serving of the meal in question.

We’ve reached the Final Question of the game, and today’s category of choice is States. We’re talking nicknames this time around!
