There's still time to suggest ideas for a general questions round!

This is your game, so blame yourself if you don't like the rounds! Haha seriously though.

Dude, this is hard!

So I have to admit that coming up with new themes and rounds every week is really difficult! I have honestly tried to keep everything as fresh and new as possible but the time has come. I need some ideas! I want every week to be as fun for you as it is for me and the rest of the gang working on Wednesday nights. Trivia is something we all look forward to and everyone gets involved in making it run as smoothly as possible.

BUT YOU CAN TOO! This is your game, so get involved and join in the fun!

This weeks picture rounds hint is below. Check it out and see if you can guess the theme. Remember guessing the theme gives you an extra point toward the win every week!

Answers for Trivia Night Wed Feb. 6th

Wednesday nights Trivia was extra interesting this week. Although the teams kinda ate it on the first round of Theme Park Trivia, most recovered toward the end of the game. There was a tie between team Genesis and Team Lemon Twist resulting in a sudden death round! Lemon Twist ended up prevailing when one of their team members correctly answered a Yankee's question.

I am attempting to post the picture round this week. If anyone knows how to get pictures to actually show up without having to upload them one by one. Please let me know!

Once again if you have any ideas for rounds, I'm more than open to ideas. Seriously, coming up with theme's every week is really difficult! Also, take a wild guess at what next weeks theme rounds are going to be!

Rules:
1.     No Cheating, anyone caught using a cell phone will be ridiculed and thrown out of the game.
2.     No shouting out the answers! Your team will lose points of you shout out the answer.
3.     There can be no more than 6 people per team, if you are more than six people you must break into multiple groups
4.     Put your team name and the number of members in your team on the top of the paper, those who do not write the number of people will only get one shot if they win/lose.
