MARKET STREET PUB • LET’S DO That Funky Bingo TRIVIA! • Blurb for 5/15/26

  MARKET STREET PUB • LET’S DO TRIVIA! • FRIDAY, APRIL 17 🎉🧠🍻 Market Street Pub came in hot tonight, the kind of Friday crowd where you can feel the trivia energy before you even finish registering your team. About fifty players packed the room, all buzzing with that “we’re absolutely winning tonight” confidence that statistically cannot be true for most of them 😄. But optimism is free, and the universe was handing it out like drink specials. From the very beginning, I could tell it was going to be a fun night as the on‑time bonus answers started flying in. And then came my favorite moment of the night: My Favorite Team dropped the best On-Time Bonus Answer to "Top Britney Spears 'by the expense' that was Rejected IRS, "Emotional Baggage", which honestly felt like both a punchline and a confession. The table erupted, and somewhere in the distance I swear I heard a tiny “oops!... they did it again” 🎶. CRS rolled in a little light on players, but you wouldn...

Market Street Pub – Let’s Do Trivia! – Blurb for April 17, 2026

Post‑St. Patrick’s Day at an Irish pub can go either way — sometimes you walk into a room full of warriors, sometimes you walk into a room full of ghosts. Tonight, we got the warriors. Forty‑one regulars packed into Market Street Pub, all in good spirits, all ready for a relaxed, social night of trivia with the familiar hum of teams who know the rhythm of the show. No newcomers, no chaos, just Denton doing what Denton does best. Speaking of foolish hearts... I'm thinking about next month's Secret Art Bonus. Want a sweet little three‑point boost? Head to the white space at Round 2, Question 1 and draw a fool, however that looks to you. Being one of our hybrid nights where we weave a single round of Funky Bingo into the trivia game, a Funky Bingo earns your team a bonus point, and Chandler walked away with ten dollars from the random Funky Bingo winner draw, which got a cheer big enough to make the pub feel even warmer. The scoreboard told the rest of the story. My Favorite Te...

MARKET STREET PUB - LET’S DO FUNKY BINGO TRIVIA! — Blurb from 2/20/26

Market Street Pub – Let’s Do Trivia! – Blurb from 2/20/26 Market Street Pub was packed on Friday night, and the energy felt like one of those evenings where everyone shows up pretending they’re here “just for fun,” but the moment pencils hit paper you can practically hear the theme from Jaws playing under the tables. Twelve teams, 65 players, and at least three people who definitely... earlier... Googled “how to look confident while guessing.” The early rounds were tight — suspiciously tight — the kind of tight where you start wondering if the teams were also wearing coordinated undergarment outfits beforehand. By halftime, Amhearst Four , CRS , and The Dubs were sitting pretty in the Top 3, looking like they were posing for a motivational poster about teamwork. Meanwhile, a few other teams were quietly plotting their third‑act redemption arcs. Remember that white space in Round 2? Let’s just say some of you were paying attention and some of you were… spiritually adjacent to the idea...

Market Street Pub – Let’s Do Trivia! – Blurb from December 19, 2025

Fifty‑four players packed into Market Street Pub in Denton for our monthly hybrid edition of Let’s Do Trivia! , where trivia meets Funky Bingo and the stakes are as real as the $2 entry fee. With 100% of the buy‑in returned as prizes, every answer — and every dab — mattered. We kicked things off with the On‑Time Bonus , asking players to imagine Santa’s excuse for showing up late. The winning entry? “Rudolph ate the ‘nice’ list.” That earned a bonus and a few laughs. The first half saw JC It’s My Birthday take an early lead with a perfect 9‑point Round 1. But The Trio and That Team From Ridgely kept pace, each hitting 37 points by halftime. The leaderboard was tight, with only 6 points separating the top five teams. 🎨 Secret Art Bonus At Round 2, Question 1, teams earned a 3‑point bonus by drawing anything Christmasy in the white space of their player app. From snowmen to sleighs, the creativity was strong across the room. For the January Secret Art bonus, draw any depiction ...

We kicked off the night with 56 players across 9 teams, all chasing the coveted trophy in our pre-Thanksgiving showdown. The first half saw tight clustering at the top, with Amherst 4 and Crappy Old Farts With Knowledge tied for the lead at 6 points apiece. That Team From Ridgely – Family Edition, Gobble D. Gook, and Tristan’s Raiders also held strong with 6 each, keeping the leaderboard packed and the pressure high. Smartinis, Turkey Trot, CRS, and Whatever You Want rounded out the field, all posting 6s at halftime—proof that even early on, no team was out of the running. With everyone knotted at the halfway mark, it was anyone’s game heading into the second half. The second half delivered a classic Marlet Street shake-up. Crappy Old Farts With Knowledge surged ahead to 77 points before the final, edging out Ridgely (74) and Amherst 4 (73). Gobble D. Gook and Tristan’s Raiders stayed in striking distance, while Smartinis, Turkey Trot, and Whatever You Want needed a miracle finish. The...

Market Street Pub – Hybrid Let's Do Trivia / Music Bingo – Blurb from October 17, 2025

Market Street Pub may be cavernous, but on the third Friday of October, it pulsed with brainpower, birthday vibes, and bingo beats. Our hybrid Let's Do Trivia/Play That Funky Bingo game drew a cozy crowd of 36 players across 8 delightfully chaotic teams: (The OG) That Team From Ridgely Three Stooges Oh My Gourd Crappy Old Farts With Knowledge Creepin’ It Real It’s My Birthday I Win Krusty Krab Sheet, I Don’t Know Man At halftime, “It’s My Birthday I Win” led the pack with 39 points, trailed closely by “Oh My Gourd” (38) and “Crappy Old Farts With Knowledge” (33). But the final question flipped the leaderboard like a bingo card in a windstorm. Only Crappy Old Farts With Knowledge nailed the Final Answer, wagering a cautious 6 points (out of a possible 20) and catapulting to a winning score of 72 . Their conservative bet paid off, while other teams saw their scores tumble with incorrect wagers. 🏆 Final Standings: 1st Place – Crappy Old Farts With Knowledge (72 pts) – ...
