Hello Trivia Heads!
We hit you with a super-hard trivia tower last week all about odd outdoor festivals held globally. And while it was a close race, there were people who jumped up in the ranks for answering the bonus question for three (3) extra points. UNFORTUNATELY, we had a few contestants Google answers and they were disqualified (BOO!) So moving forward, make sure you are playing with only the information in your brain so it's fair for everyone.
