Hey Trivia Fam! 📣

I know I’ve been absolutely terrible at giving updates this month! The reason for the radio silence? I’ve been buried under a mountain of boxes unpacking from my move to Cambridge, WI, and recovering from celebrating my 46th birthday last Thursday! 🎂📦

To top it all off, we didn't have a game last week since Primal 'Cue was closed.

But the brief hiatus is officially over, and we are coming back in a massive way! 🔥

Join me THIS Wednesday at 6:30 PM at Primal'Cue for the final showdown of the August Trivia Challenge! Because it's the last game of the month, we are pulling out all the stops:

🚨 CHAOS RULES WILL BE IN EFFECT! 🚨
(See the pinned Facebook post on our page for all the details on what Chaos Rules entail—you definitely need to know what's coming!)

Come hungry, grab a drink, and remember that Wednesday means their incredible tri-tip is on the menu. Gather your squad, lock in those answers, and let's close out August with a bang!

See you Wednesday! 🍻🧠

(P.S. Speaking of the move to Cambridge—if anyone wants to pitch in to the "Brian needs a car/transportation fund" so I can keep making the trek to host trivia at Primal 'Cue, any and all donations are massively appreciated! You can buy me a coffee right here: https://buymeacoffee.com/bcdunkel 🚗💨)

08/19/2026

There is NO TRIVIA tonight at Primal'Cue due to the restaurant being closed this week. We'll return next week! In the meantime, check out Premier Trivia for other trivia nights happening in the area! See you soon.

🔥 FINAL TRIVIA OF JULY AT PRIMAL 'CUE! 🔥

We set an all-time attendance record last week, and I’m thinking... can we pack the patio even MORE this week?! ☀️🍻

Join us this Wednesday at 6:30 PM for the last July showdown! The long-range forecast is calling for a warm 85° F, so dress light, grab an ice-cold drink (and some Wednesday night Tri-Tip!), and bring your top-tier trivia brain.

⚠️ CHAOS RULES ARE IN EFFECT! ⚠️
Because it’s the end-of-the-month prize challenge, Chaos Rules are back! If you’ve been looking for your chance to make a massive leap up the monthly leaderboard—or steal the top spot at the last second—this is the night to do it. Plus, as always, we’ve got awesome weekly prizes up for grabs for our top teams!

P.S. The house-hunting nightmare is officially OVER! 🎉

This is officially moving week as I make the move into my new abode in Cambridge, WI! I might be a little quiet on social media over the weekend while I'm hauling boxes, but don't worry—once the heavy lifting is done and my body is completely exhausted, I’ll have plenty of computer recovery time to catch up with all my favorite players and followers.

See you all on the patio Wednesday at 6:30 PM! Let’s break another record! 🧠🏆🍔

🔥 RECORD-BREAKING NIGHT AT PRIMAL 'CUE! 🔥

What an incredible evening on the patio! We officially set a brand-new record with 46 players coming out to bring the heat, enjoy some smoked eats, and battle it out for trivia supremacy! 📈🍻

With 11 teams in the mix, the competition was fierce from the start—and the high-stakes Final Question on carnivorous marsupials definitely shook up the final standings!

🏆 THE LEADERBOARD PODIUM

🥇 1st Place: Big Sticks (93 pts)
Living up to the name! They dominated both halves (37 pts in the 1st, 36 pts in the 2nd) and nailed a +20 on the Final Question to coast into 1st place!

🥈 2nd Place: Sugar & Spice (76 pts)
Consistently solid all night, including a great 10/12 on the Halftime round and a clutch +20 on the Final to secure silver!

🥉 3rd Place: Wrong Answers Only (73 pts)
Irony at its finest! Proving their team name wrong, they put up big numbers in the second half and capped it off with a perfect final wager!

🧠 ANECDOTES & NIGHT HIGHLIGHTS
• Wisconsin Pride: Everyone felt right at home identifying Kohler, WI as the location of the American Club Resort, Whistling Straits, and Blackwolf Run ⛳

• Unexpected Trivia Fact: Who knew that legendary actor Marlon Brando didn't just popularize method acting, but also invented a conga drum tuning device? 🥁

• Nature's Can Opener: Learning that falcons have a specially modified beak feature called a "tomial tooth" to act like a can opener! 🦅

• The 'Hit' & 'Run' Halftime: From Pat Benatar’s Hit Me With Your Best Shot to Billie Eilish, Chicken Run, and Ray Charles' Hit the Road Jack, halftime had everyone humming along!

• High-Stakes Final: While incorrect wagers in Rounds 1–4 didn't deduct overall team points, the Final Question carried real stakes! Identifying the Tasmanian Devil as the largest living carnivorous marsupial rewarded brave teams with +20 points to seal the win.

• Battle of the Sticks: Friendly venue rivalry shoutout to Big Sticks taking 1st with 93 points, while Lil Sticks fought hard to finish with 28 points!

Special shoutouts to all 11 amazing teams—including 50% Swamp Ass, 100% More Fun, Jeopardy's Nuts, Plays With Squirrels, and Team Zissou—for making this record-shattering patio night so much fun!

See you all next time at Primal'Cue for more smoke, drinks, and trivia showdowns! 🥩❓
