UYE Trivia Night at the Brewseum

I’m in the process of learning about UYEs in order to finally do my own and was lucky enough to have Nadine C. ask me to cohost this event with her which was great practice. I couldn’t believe how crowded the Brewseum was at 5pm — there were so many groups lined up to snag tables for trivia so definitely come early if you come in the future!
I grabbed us a big table and threw my bags of brain candy all over it to claim it. Luckily our group slowly poured in and we wound up having just enough space! Team PLEY [get it? ;)] wound up coming in second place; we only lost by one point! Talk about having an amazing team! Big mahalos to all who came out: Terrence, your moral support rocked ;), Alexander our boy genius who knew it all :), Nadine C. who started running the popcorn machine and kept our snacks coming like a boss [aunty of the year!], Maka K. & Cathy T. for being our brilliant & knowledgable writers, Victoria M. & her mommy who’s wits & brains helped hold us down [so lovely meeting the lady who created such a wonderful gal], Mel B. it was amazing to finally meet you, & thanks to my plus one Lesley L. for yelling Beyoncé for every answer: she’s new to using Unilocal and is finally dipping her toes in the water, thanks for welcoming her! Finally, not to forget big thank you’s to Paul C. show up with beautiful leis for myself and Nadine plus his awesome company & Michael C. for surprising us with a visit. You both were great additions to the team & evening!
Overall, I found this to be a success! Our team had the most fun, we got to know each other on a new level and Brewseum had such the perfect, chill vibe for a Wednesday night out. I like that it’s a more ‘lax Trivia night and the service was impeccable. Looking forward to the next one kids!

I’ve been wanting to come here ever since I read a review for it several months back. I was biding my time when an UYE got posted. I knew the days were numbered.
Nadine C. and Brigette S. made a call for arms to gather on the shores of the Brewseum to protect the honor of all Unilocalers out there, to atleast make a good showing that we Unilocalers will not be pushed into the dark of the night, to disappear into oblivion. We shall make a stand, answer when ever we can and drink our rounds of dastardly poisons willing us to courage, and bouts of bravery. Let the world know, we came… and we had an outstanding, good time.
Team Pley ( Unilocal spelled backwards) showed up ready to battle, answers ready to launch. Our arms were empty when we came but they were filled quickly with the liquid courage of our choice. Thanks to our good leader, Brigette S., who supplied the brain candy. Ingenious! That definitely gave us an edge up on everyone else.
We may have been only one squad, but that’s all that was really needed, and we showed determination. Cathy T. and Maka K. were there to lead the charge making sure answers were written down correctly avoiding penalties and see if we could get away with whatever we can. When you need to be sneaky and stealthy, you can count on them.
Victoria M. and her mom, Caryl M., were our tech officers providing answers from things we shouldn’t know but they did. I don’t even want to know how they know such things. Nerds may not rule, but they are so important on a team.
Our intelligence officers, Terrance Y. and Alexander G., were very good confirming, and sometimes providing, the correct answers as intelligence information came on the screen and over the PA system. Without them, I’m pretty sure we would have never made it out alive.
When Paul C. showed up in the middle of battle we all turned to him for news from HQ. The command: Kill ‘em all with kindness! To execute the command he presented leis to our Field Generals, Nadine C. and Brigette S. I’m not sure if that’s how the command should have been executed but they sure looked good with those flowers.
Me, I’m just a newbie fresh out of boot camp, enjoying the comradery with my fellow compatriots. Sure, I gave a few answers, probably drank more than I should but you would too when you’re having so much fun amongst a bunch of Unilocalers screaming who but God knows what into misty air of Trivia madness. In the end, we became a band of brothers and sisters, wanting nothing more than to go home from this Trivia Battle standing proud. And, that we did. Second place, just 1 point away, is not shabby at all. If we had one more bag of brain food, we would have dominated winning over all.
Next time, victory shall be ours!
Thank you so much, Nadine C. and Brigette S., for providing an adventure to go down unforgotten in the anals of time. Nice meeting Alexander G. and Caryl M. for the first time. Always good company to having Victoria M., Terrace Y. and Paul C.
I hope next time you can, that’s right, YOU!, join us and stand amongst our UYE Band of brothers and sisters. You’ll have fun, and we can call you friend.

This was my first UYE and boy do I know how to pick ‘em! I had such a fun evening answering trivia questions, drinking beer, and eating unhealthy fun snacks! Big thank you goes out to the hosts: Brigitte S. and Nadine C., thanks for the goodie bags, organization, and a fun night in general!
Simply put, us Unilocalers formed a trivia team named Pley! Easily the largest team there, we did pretty well for ourselves. I appreciated being told to show up so early– even at 5pm when the doors opened there were enough people to take all the smaller tables. Team Pley took a big extra table set up for the evening. By 6pm, every seat in the house was full and stayed that way through the night’s game. The trivia was well organized, with questions in categories I actually enjoyed (thank you for very limited sports questions!). UYEs are a great way to see old Unilocal friends and meet new ones. I will be going to more UYEs in the future! Our team was jovial and well spirited all evening; it was genuinely fun to be sitting there for hours, answering questions and laughing. I hope Team Pley comes back out for a night at the Brewseum soon!

This was a great UYE organized by Nadine C and Brigitte S! Our «PLEY» team came in 2^nd out of like 10+ teams!
As Auntie Nadine mentioned I was there with her once before this UYE so I knew that this trivia game was no joke. People came with their «A» games but after a few rounds (of beer & trivia) it loosened up into a really festive and rambunctious time!
A tip for those thinking of coming down (they do trivia weekly on Wednesdays at Brewseum) GET THERE EARLY! Tables & seats are hot commodities after 5:30. Luckily our awesome organizers did get there early enough to get more than enough seats for us all!
It was really great getting to meet Victoria M.‘s mom who was the ringer in the 1^st round of questions. Alexander G is also a great secret weapon to have on your trivia team! And my own contributions were A) If it’s a soccer question answer is always David Beckham & B) When in doubt put a slash and hope the other team is nice and gives you the point!
Thanks again to Auntie Nadine C. for being such a great hostess and popcorn maker (I think Brewseum should offer her a part time gig as their popcorn girl!) and to Brigitte S. for the Brain Candy which definitely helped on that Ferris Wheel question!
To my fellow PLEY teammates all I have to say is that we were ROBBED on that last round! No Beyonce, Sam Smith, or IGGY? more like That’s NOT What I Call Music Now lol!

Ok, Granted I have Knowledge in certain things but obviously not in the right places, hey I can tell you 100 Earths can fit into the Sun, and that ET in the movie drank Coors Beer, weird things like that… but…at this UYE out of the 60 questions total I think I maybe knew 3?
But although I felt like I was not helping much I did have a great time! How can you not have fun when you are with a bunch of Unilocalers? Plus the dynamic and wonderful family running Brewseum makes it comfortable and fun too! Okay, the Beer is great too! Haha!
The venue was quite packed with many other teams who were quite good but lucky for us we had the numbers and great smart Unilocalers who have the trivia skill set I lack. And we were able to pull off Second Place just one point behind the reigning Champs!
I think the brain food was so good and so evil Haha I couldn’t stop eating them! Besides the Popcon and the Cheese balls that Brewseum provides I had a total junk food night! But it’s only once in a while so I enjoyed it!!!
Such a fun event! Thank you Nadine C and Bridget S for putting this together to get a great bunch of Unilocalers together!

As the saying proclaims, «two heads are better than one.»
In this case, a table full of Unilocalers put their heads together to combine their facts and knowledge during trivia night at the Brewseum. THANKS to Brigitte S and Nadine C for putting their heads together for co-​hosting this fun and brain-​racking UYE.
Having never been to the Brewseum before, I had to resort to the google app for additional help. Thank goodness I ran into Paul C who stepped out briefly to retrive some food from his car. I arrived about two hours into the trivia night and the groups were just finishing round four of six. The place was packed! I couldn’t believe it honestly. People were laughing, talking, racking their brains, and just having a good time overall.
The Unilocalers had a entire table to themselves, and as luck would have it, there was an one empty chair left. I guess it was meant to be that I attended, even though I was slightly late. As always at UYEs, it was great to see familiar faces: Maka K, Cathy T, Paul C, Terrence Y and trivia queens Brigitte S and Nadine C. The format for the trivia was very organized I must say. The questions and answers were presented to the crowd via the aid of a projector and screen (ala powerpoint or similar format). I thought this was a brilliant way of coordinating the game and providing clear and accurate information to the game participants (I have actually been to trivia night at another business where the questions were not presented in this way; it wasn’t very organized at all).
Although I was only present for two rounds of trivia, I had a great time helping my group and it was actually cool to learn new facts and knowledge at the same time. In the end, our group placed 2^nd with only one point separating us from the winners. Talk about a close call!
I really enjoyed myself and once again THANK YOU to Brigitte S and Nadine C for being two gracious hostesses. You guys are awesome!
BOTTOM LINE: Another fun UYE spent with great people in our Unilocal Community!

Go Team Pley!!! For those who don’t know, it’s «Yelp» spelled backwards…
I arrived late after 630pm when the event started at 5pm I saw a table of cool Yeeps all huddled up discussing possible answers as tonight was trivia night at the Brewseum. I was greeted by awesome co-​hosts Brigitte S. and Nadine C. and found an empty seat to join the team.
I was delighted to find «brain food» goodie bags of mini Kit Kat bars, $ 100,000 bar and Pixy Stix. What a sugar high!
Many in attendance were old faces of Cathy T., Maka K., Terrance Y., Mel B. and Victoria M. It was great to have met Mrs. M., Victoria’s mom who is in town! Also great to see Michael C. who just got back from Japan. And met a new friend Alexander G. tonight.
As we munched on complimentary popcorn and cheese balls we put our knowledge together and battled 6 rounds of trivia and came in second place! It was revealed that only one point separated first and second place. So close!
Big Mahalo to Brigitte S. and Nadine C. for making Hump Day a fun evening with my fellow Yeeps!

What’s brown, has a head and a tail, but no legs???
That’s one of 4 answers that I knew — out of 60 questions! hahaha! But it was so much fun that I didn’t care… better than last time when I only knew one answer! ;)
Unilocal Hawaii has some of the most brilliant people that I have ever met! I’m so proud to be a member and to have them as my friends!
Maka & Cathy were with me at my first visit to the Brewseum’s Trivia Night and they knew the drill. Armed with answer sheets and pencils, we forged ahead!
The brainy newcomers, Alexander & Michael, fit right in! They love Trivia, so I knew we had a fighting chance of winning!
The energetic Victoria M. brought her mom — straight from the airport! Poor mommy — she fought off the jetlag like a champ!
Mel & Terrance brought their game to the mix — even though they don’t think so — they are so humble!
Thanks to Paul for the beautiful lei for Brigette & me! So kind of you! You helped me learn about the popcorn machine! hahaha!
Thanks to those who messaged me, saying that they weren’t able to attend. I was able to release the saved seats to customers who were standing — yes, the place was PACKED and noisy! I appreciate your thoughtfulness, as I do worry about your safety and health (did he get lost? was she able to find parking? does she still have the sniffles? did he remember? etc.)
Mahalo to fabulous co-​host, Brigette who arrived early to save us a table. I got lost and had to turn on my GPS since I parked «far away» to leave closer spaces for our teammates. Brigette also provided «Brain Candy» which gave us an advantage over the other teams! Shhh… that’s our winning secret… (wink!)
Congratulations to Team Pley! Just one tiny point separated us from the Championship — so close! Excellent teamwork! I am so happy!!!
Unilocal Hawaii truly is NO KA OI!
