Friday Night Trivia Recap — Front Street Taproom, April 10, 2026 | The Team With the Highest Accuracy in the Room Didn't Win. Here's Why.

What a night at the Taproom. Eleven teams showed up ready to battle through four rounds of trivia, and the final standings were nothing short of chaotic — in the best way possible.

Let's talk about it.

Round 1: Who or What or Where Am I?

We kicked things off with a first-person twist — every question was written as a riddle from the perspective of the answer itself. "I opened in May 2025 as the newest addition to Florida's Universal Orlando Resort. What theme park am I?" (Epic Universe.) "I was created in 1929 to reduce glare experienced by aviation pilots. Which iconic brand of sunglasses am I?" (Ray-Ban.)

The room crushed it on the accessible ones — Snickers, Andy from Toy Story, Stranger Things, and Margaret Atwood all went 100%. But the hamate bone? Only ONE team in the entire room knew it's located in the hand (shoutout to Jenna Tolls for that deep pull). And only Anti-Dentites knew that St. Paul's Cathedral has the famous whispering gallery dome. Two questions at roughly 11-13% accuracy apiece — in a round that otherwise averaged about 75%. That's the sweet spot.

** Team "...(Dot Dot Dot)" took Round 1 with 20,750 points at 90% accuracy, just edging out Anti-Dentites who also hit 90% but were a touch slower on the buzzer.**

Round 2: S.P.L.A.S.H. — Science, Pop Culture, Literature, Arts, Sports, History

Twenty questions covering all six categories, and this is where the Taproom crowd showed why they're one of the sharpest trivia audiences in the Quad Cities. Science brought us Proxima Centauri, the Doppler Effect, and activation energy. Pop Culture tested teams on Saved by the Bell and the Tamagotchi. Literature served up Garcia Marquez and the Marauder's Map. Arts went after Gothic architecture and the pirouette. Sports featured the Hart Trophy and the individual medley. And History took us to Xerxes at Thermopylae and the Ever Given.

Anti-Dentites took control of Round 2 and won it with 37,440 points at 85% accuracy — their speed on correct answers is unreal. "...Dot Dot Dot" also hit 85% but couldn't match Anti-Dentites on the buzzer. Just C posted a strong 80% but ended the round with zero points due to wager losses.

Round 3: Triple Threats, Fabulous Fours, Lucky Sevens

Here's where things got wild. Every question revolved around famous groups of three, four, or seven. Name the missing Hogwarts house (Slytherin). Which of these is NOT one of the Three Musketeers? Which are all seven colors of the rainbow? The missing Horseman of the Apocalypse (Death)? The Three Stooges, the Fantastic Four, the Seven Sacraments, the Cornetto trilogy, the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus, Freud's tripartite personality model, the cardinal virtues, the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — it was a tour through every famous grouping you can think of, capped off with the last four books of the Old Testament (Zephaniah being the deep cut).

This round was polarizing. Anti-Dentites went 90%. Speculate Wildly — who'd been solid through two rounds — cratered to 45%. When you need to know a little about everything from Catholic sacraments to Marvel superheroes to Old Testament prophets, the teams with the broadest knowledge base dominate.

Anti-Dentites extended their lead to a commanding 157,720 points for the round and earned some more BOGO pints for winning their second round in a row. They looked unstoppable heading into Round 4.

They were very much stoppable.

Round 4: Screen Time

The final round. Point values. Wagers. Everything on the line. Every question connected to "screens" — from silver screens to phone screens to window screens. Jimmy Kimmel's Mean Tweets. Tim Berners-Lee and the invention of the World Wide Web. Wreck-It Ralph escaping his video game. The origin of folding screens (China). Minority Report. Baby Shark hitting 10 billion YouTube views. Rear Window. The Legend of Zelda. The spline cord that holds your window screen in place. Poltergeist. Night Shift on iPhone. HDMI. Tom Holland as Spider-Man. The Pensieve from Harry Potter. Mr. Robot. The Matrix's bullet time. Deadpool breaking the fourth wall. And OLED — Organic Light-Emitting Diode.

And then the wagers happened.

Speculate Wildly went ALL IN and it paid off spectacularly — 382,000 points in a single round, winning the fourth round. The biggest single-round score in Taproom Trivia history. They hit 90% accuracy in R4, nailing 18 of 20 questions, and their fearless wagering turned a middling position into an outright championship.

Meanwhile, Anti-Dentites and "...Dot Dot Dot" — the two smartest teams in the room at 84% overall accuracy each — both walked away with ZERO points from Round 4. Their wagers went catastrophically wrong despite answering 70-80% of questions correctly.

Anti-Dentites went from a commanding first place to fourth. Just like that.

Final Standings

Read that again: the team that finished first had the fourth-best accuracy. The teams that finished fourth and fifth tied for the best accuracy. That's what wagers do. That's why you come back every Friday — because knowing the answers is only half the battle.

The Takeaway

This is what makes trivia at the Taproom special. You can be the smartest team in the room and still lose. You can be down after three rounds and still win it all with one gutsy wager. Every round matters, but that final round? That's where legends are made — or broken.

Anti-Dentites continue to be one of the most dominant teams on the circuit — now with confirmed appearances at Taproom and El Centenario, consistently posting 84-85% accuracy. But perhaps their wagering strategy needs to be tweaked.

Congratulations to Speculate Wildly on an incredible comeback victory, and respect to Anti-Dentites and ...Dot Dot Dot for the highest accuracy in the room. BOGO pint coupons went to our round winners and a free pint went to our overall champions.

We'll see you next Friday.

Next week: Friday, April 17 at Front Street Taproom. Bring your crew. Bring your courage. And maybe bring a better wagering strategy.
