Question: Top thing you didn't know you needed to pack for Memorial Day Weekend
As usual, teams got creative with their answers. Whether it was preparing for rain, traffic, beach crowds, or the unexpected surprises of a holiday weekend, everyone had their own idea of the one item they wished they'd packed.
Sometimes the best answers aren't necessarily right—they're the ones that make everyone laugh and say, "You know what? That's actually not a bad idea."

🎤 Story of the Night
The Grillers delivered the comeback of the night and rolling 1st place prize to be $80 on game (6/4)
After spending the entire game in fifth place and entering the final question 17 points behind the leader, they bet big, answered correctly, and vaulted all the way to first place.
Cruisers quietly climbed from third to second, while Woodies led heading into the final but ultimately settled for third after choosing not to risk any points.
The toughest break belonged to Murphy's Law. They led at halftime and sat just one point out of first before the final question, but a missed wager dropped them from second all the way to fifth.
🔥 Final Takeaway
This game was a perfect reminder of why nobody should leave early.
At halftime, Murphy's Law led.
Before the final, Woodies led.
But when the dust settled, The Grillers were the ones holding the trophy.
A 20-point wager. A correct final answer. A jump from last place to first place.
That's trivia magic.
