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

Round Two

 

It’s time to say hola, bonjour, ciao, and hello to today’s theme round. That’s right, we’re exploring the fascinating world of communication with Language Trivia! And to keep things spicy, fictional languages are fair game here too…

 

Round Two starts with a Language Trivia question about a fictional language that you’re likely to hear at Comic-Con. Spoiler alert: Here’s a crash course in the basics of the language if you’re ready to study up!

Round Two concludes with Literature Trivia about another fictional language, but this time, it’s a slang-focused question. One of the members of the Team has a close personal connection to the question – can you guess who it might be? Here’s some more Literature Trivia for you to browse if you need a little extra time to think!

 

Final Question

 

We’ve reached the Final Question of today’s game, and today’s category is Geography. Here’s hoping you’ve studied up on your world map, with a particular focus on Asia!

 

The Trivia Team is given a list of four capital cities of Asian countries and asked to place them in geographical order, from north to south. They waffle back and forth on a few answers, and their confidence level similarly ebbs and flows. Do you agree with the Team’s final order, or would you have gone with a different answer?
