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

Bonus Question

Today’s Bonus Question dives deeper into the consumer goods corporation named in the Companies question from Round One.

Round Two kicks off with a Food Trivia question about an element that’s found in seafood and is used in chemical tests. Looking for a drink to complement your seafood? Gin-based cocktails like the gin and tonic pair well with fish, thanks to its bright, citrusy flavors.

Next up, a Science Trivia question gives the Team the opportunity to experiment with the options while debating which energy-producing device converts hydrogen into electricity. Spoiler alert: A passenger train powered by this source of energy is currently in development in Germany.

Round Two concludes with a Health & Fitness Trivia question about the scientific term for a specific type of exercise. For more fitness inspiration, check out this post about some of the most common – and uncommon – types of exercise.
