QUIZ RECAP

The Chaos Gem was in effect at Idle Hour! Technical difficulties, crashed systems, and 10 teams all vying for the top spot amidst all the turmoil. Fortunately, it wasn't this QM's first rodeo, and the show must always go on. 

Things started slow in the first few rounds as timid newcomers discovered their trivia knowledge, but didn't yet trust themselves enough to double down. That changed in round 5 as each and every team discovered a well of courage sitting somewhere at the bottom of their third and fourth drinks. 

That's when good ol' Murphy arrived, as we had a sudden shutdown of the online system! With teams struggling to find their answers, this QM rushed into action...and called a 5 minute technical timeout. Thankfully, we had pens and paper enough to catch everyone one, and scores were checked and double checked to make sure they went in the right direciton. By round 6, all systems were a go and we were back in action. 

By this point, the top spot had shifted four times over. It was anyone's game. And then came round 6...the DOUBLE DOWN heard 'round the world. 

Readers, believe me when I say...Every. Single. Team. Doubled. 

But one missed a question!

With the leaderboard shook once again, we went into Round 7 to sort out the winners from the whiners. It turned out that Dr. Spaceman was a bit savvier when it comes to British pop bands, and they secured their win by a scant 2 points. 

It was an EPIC throwdown, with some bobbing and weaving as only King Trivia knows how. If you're in NoHo on Tuesday, come on down to Idle Hour for the best trivia this side of the Mississip*!
