This one was one for the record books, folks. Idle Hour is known for its great food and beverages, but tonight we saw KT history in the making. 22 teams packed the house at every angle, crammed in tight so they could each fight for a piece of that sweet quiz-licious pie. It was a down and out rumble, and this QM was only too ready to begin.
With so many teams, there was of course the usual jockeying for top position...yet surprisingly little trash talk. Players were packed so tight together that, on at least one occasion, and overly excited exclamation of the correct answer spread like wildfire from table to table.
By the midway point, we were looking at a stacked leaderboard. It was time for a quick break for the drinking round. The QM asked about the length of the Canadian coastline. While guesses were mostly wild and innaccurate, one team took an amazingly accurate shot in the dark. While still off by a few thousand kilometers, they were far and away the closest and won free shots for the table.
When it came down to Round 7, the first place spot was all but secured. Newbies had doubled nearly every round, and it was a powerful performance to say the least. But the leaderboard was far from spoken for. It was anyone's guess who would come out on top.
As it turns out, three teams wanted it, and we had a tie-breaker round to decide Third Place. With a decent guess, Fartin Van Buren took their place in trivia history.
Idle Hour puts on a great show every Tuesday night at 8PM. Come and join us, but bring your A game. The locals play for keeps.
