The 2017 NAPA Auto Parts Ultimate Sports Trivia Challenge “Final Four” event had something for everyone, including two past champions and a surprise newcomer making it to the title match. In the end, however, it was Royden Muranaka claiming his fourth Trivia Challenge championship, earning a year’s worth of bragging rights, plus a trip for two to Las Vegas to see the UH-UNLV football game!

Our good friends at Dave & Buster’s hosted our “Final Four” event in their beautiful Pa’ina Hale Showroom.
