Next up, a Beer Trivia asks the Team to identify a type of beer based on what its name means in German. While we’re on the subject of Beer Trivia, can you guess which country drinks the most beer in the world per capita?
The first round wraps up with a Brands Trivia question about a brand of breath mints that are known for their distinctive flavor. As the Team points out, peppermint has historically been used as a cure for calming stomach pains, a tradition that dates back thousands of years.
Bonus Question
Today’s Bonus Question is a follow-up to the Brands question from the first round. The Team is asked to guess the year in which this breath mint brand was invented. Spoiler alert: Here’s a closer look at this brand’s history, in case you’re curious to learn more about their story.
Round Two
Are ya ready kids? It’s time for today’s theme round, and this topic will take us on a wild ride from Springfield to South Park. That’s right, folks, we’re talkin’ Cartoon Characters Trivia. Let’s yabba dabba doo this!
The second round starts with a Television Trivia question that asks the Team to identify an adolescent cartoon character based on one of his many funny lines. Speaking of cartoon character quotes, do you know what Mickey Mouse’s first spoken words were?
Next, a Same Name Trivia question challenges the Team to name two characters from ultra-popular franchises – one cartoon and one live-action – who share a first name. As one of the players points out, this shared name is actually a nickname for both of them. If you have a passion for nicknames yourself, be sure to listen to episode #9 of the podcast for a theme round of Nicknames Trivia!

Final Question
We’ve reached the Final Question of today’s game, and the category of choice is Literature. Hopefully you’re ready to join the Team to solve a mystery (or rather, several mysteries).
The Trivia Team is given a list of five fictional detectives and five authors and asked to match them up based on the author that penned each of the characters’ stories. There are a few well-known pairings that stick out to the Team, but in appropriately suspenseful fashion, several of the pairings present more of a mystery. Can you help them nail the order perfectly to snag the points for the Final Question? Listen in and see if we can crack the case together!
