QUIZ RECAP

What a night at Idle Hour! You know we like to bring on Tuesdays, but this was something special. 15 teams, Cazadores drink specials, and the amazing energy of NoHo...it was a recipe for excellence. 

With a few returning faces, we got down into quiz town with a powerful opening round. Bill and Melinda Gates took a big risk with a Double Down, securing a lead...and they wouldn't let it go the entire game!

With such a powerful team at the top of the board, the rest of the pack grew hungry. Points were flying as teams risked it all for big wins...or shattering losses. General Washingtons rose and fell by inches, scraping at the top three for most of the game. Snark Squad equally came to play, and a true battle for the ages commenced. 

After the surprisingly difficult Guess Who round, we took a break for a few shots by guessing the overall land mass of Ukraine (like you do). While there were some wild guesses, two were wildly close. Chardonyay, true to their spirit-loving name, earned a free round a shots for the table. 

Unfortunately, as they later admitted, those shots might have robbed them of their zest for the test. Their time near the top of the boards was at an end, but what a way to go!

As we rounded into the final stretch, Five teams were only points away from one another for the top spots. With their commanding lead dwindling, Bill and Melinad Gates needed to pull out all the stops to clinch the win. 

That's when our game-long winners came over to the QM to admit they actually couldn't hear that well and didn't know their score. They had lead the game by sheer will alone! But would knowing their place actually harm their chances?

As the final grains of sand fell from the metaphorical hourglass, the final scores were tallied and three winners selected. It was a hard fought battle, but our champions earned their accolades and gift cards. 

You don't want to miss another instant of this trivia thunderdome. Come on down to Idle Hour eveyr Tuesday night at 8PM.
