Trivial Blitz game

[ondeadline]

<a href="http://www.joytube.com/trivial-blitz-2/">
Here's another time-wasting game. You get a category and, on a board that looks like a Jeopardy board, you have 16 items. You try to pick the 11 items that fit the category without getting one wrong. The more you get, the more "money" you get. Once you get one wrong, it's own to the next category. If you know the category, it's easy. If you don't, it's a guessing game.</a>

Ran one category, Baseball Jargon. Did ok in First Lady First Names.

Bonus category was Egyptian Pharoahs of the 15th Century (or something like that).

Ended up with $2025.

Addicting. But if I get "Stringed instruments" one more time, I'm gonna barf.

 

[ondeadline]

With the help of my 9-year-old running the Pokemon category, I got $3,300.

 

[spup1122]

I got all the Computer Animated films if that counts. All the baseball movies, too.

 

[EStreetJoe]

Why can't I get those categories.
I get stuck with categories like Beauty & the Beast characters, medical equipment, marsupials, drummers, Mickey Mouse Club Mouseketeers.
and the categories I should do good in (Grammy Song of the Year winners, Slam Dunk Contest winners), I crap out on after 7 correct and get the Blitz.

Got Seinfeld characters, U.S. states bordering Canada, Actors who played fictional U.S. Presidents and one other that I can't remember. Ended up with $5,550.

This must be a pretty wide-ranging game because I haven't seen some of these categories y'all are mentioning.

I've seen that damn Pokemon Characters category more than I care to, tho.

4175, thanks to the last two questions being NBA champs and World Cup champs.. got all but one of hte nba, and all of the world cup.

Damn, this game is addicting...

$6,475... and I'm really, Really, REALLY tired of getting Robert Frost poems, Red Hot Chili Peppers singles, Titans (and not the CS Fullerton types) and Quentin Tarantino characters.

Oh, and WTF is "Egyptian Pharoahs of the Fourth Dynasty" doing here? Are you kidding?

WW I battles, Heisman winners, FIFA World Cup Champions, Brady Bunch and Shakespeare plays have come to the rescue. I ran all five of those. ;D

 

[sportschick]

Thank God for LOTR characters and Santa's reindeer. That is all.

 

[mike311gd]

$4,225, with facial hair, artists on "MTV Unplugged," some others and bottled waters in the bonus round.

 

[Chi City 81]

I caught the Holy Grail of four topics: Baseball jargon, Quentin Tarantino ..., NBA Championship teams, Winners of the NBA slam dunk contest and Bottled Water brands for the bonus. $9,750.

 

[mike311gd]

And a $4,425 after sweeping New York Pro Sports Teams.

I caught the Holy Grail of four topics: Baseball jargon, Quentin Tarantino ..., NBA Championship teams, Winners of the NBA slam dunk contest and Bottled Water brands for the bonus. $9,750.

Jesus Christ.

 

[ArnoldBabar]

And yet I keep getting Titans, Fictional Horses and Hasbro Subsidiaries.

 

[Precious Roy]

Got 6,475 with someone coming up behind me to tell me all the answers to the Rolling Stones Songs part.
Now to go and see if I can get that myself

 

[mike311gd]

I swept two categories: NBA Championship Teams and Baseball Jargon, and thanks to my lack of knowledge of Hasbro Subsidiaries, Quartz Varieties and Shakespeare Plays (which I exited with a few bucks) and Hitchcock movies for a bonus, I only collected $3,675.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

My highest so far has been $3750...

 

[ondeadline]

The only sports one I've gotten: New York pro teams and NBA champions. Obviously those were easy.
