Quizzo Bowl X Scores

quizzo-winners

Congrats to the Sofa Kingdom, who won Quizzo Bowl X on board the Spirit of Philadelphia. To say we all had a blast would be a bit of an understatement. Everything from the food to the weather to the band was incredible. And with so many people getting dressed up, and Lifesaver rounds, and a Kriss Kross/Christopher Cross mashup, and the band playing yacht rock, it was every bit as ridiculous as I hoped it would be.

As far as the quiz itself, I’ll be honest, I got a little unnerved by the Jeopardy team and probably made the quiz a little harder than I should have, especially the music round. If we do it again next year I will definitely make it an easier quiz. But I thought the Mad Lib round and the Lifesaver round were pretty fun wrinkles to the usual questions, and I was happy with the difficulty level of the Impossible Round.

Thanks to each and every person who climbed on board the ship. Oh, and I contacted the ship this morning to ask about the trophy, which I left on board. I’ll let you know when I hear back. D’oh!

Here are your final scores.

  1. Sofa Kingdom 133
  2. THe Life Aquatic with Jacques Bon Temps 120
  3. Yacht Cocks 2: Cruise Control 116*

Here’s the Gameplan for Today

philadelphia-skyline-from-the-delaware-river-brendan-reals

Anybody who wants to take in the above view today at 4 p.m. while drinking $3 beers and listening to a steel drum band that has not already bought a ticket, meet us down at 401 South Columbus Blvd at 2 p.m. (CASH OR CHECK ONLY!) There are still some tables available!

Next up, download your Uber app. You’re going to want to request a pickup, give yourself a few minutes to get picked up, etc. Give yourself time to get there early! Try to arrive at around 2. Once the boat has left the dock it ain’t coming back, and we gotta give everyone boarding passes, so I want to get everyone there early so we can get em boarded and get this party started as early as possible. If you are driving and not taking a cab, here is a map of where the place is. It’s at 401 South Columbus Boulevard, located right next to the Moshulu.

Once we board the boat, it will be meal time. Find your team a table and dig in at the buffet. If you’ve got a smaller team I’ll do my best to hook you up with a larger one. There will be half a sheet of paper in front of you. Put your team name on that and walk it over to the judges table. We will begin the festivities with a sweet little jam (no rapping of course), and then it’s time to jump right in.

We will do five rounds, ten questions each, with breaks after the second and fourth rounds. We are on an extremely tight time schedule, so there is a pretty good possibility that we will be reading the final results at the afterparty! Just a heads up.

As for the afterparty, it will be at Winterfest, which is a 10-15 minute walk up the waterfront. Gonna be an awesome night for a waterfront stroll. Just head towards Penn’s Landing when you get off the boat and it’s right past that, just beyond the ice skating rink.

That’s where we will reveal our final scores, that’s where TJ Kong moves from leading a yacht rock group to a down and dirty rock and roll band, where if you want to you can hang out by the fire pits, where the WID will perform his insanity, and where we’ll be giving away the over $600 worth of prizes we’ve got to give away. There are also rumors of a roving band of guerilla comedians appearing at the outdoor part of the facility. We’ll see. All in all, it’s gonna be a ton of action, a ton of fun, and I hope to see ya there!

I Will Jump in the Delaware River if We Sell Out Quizzo Bowl

Polar-Plunge

Like I said yesterday in my interview with Philly Mag, I will jump into the Delaware River tomorrow if we sell out Quizzo Bowl. So now, on top of 2 bands, a comedian, a free cab ride, free food, a yacht ride and tons of prizes to give away, you will now have the opportunity to see me possibly die in spectacular fashion. What a bargain!

UPDATE: I have just been informed that jumping into the Delaware is illegal. So you will now have an opportunity to see me get arrested if you come to Quizzo Bowl! I mean, what better deal can I give you people?
