QUIZ RECAP

What an incredible night for trivia! Rain might not be the best for LA drivers, but the clean new day brought out hungry quiz-heads like never before. Even better, this Quizmaster had a teammate to share in the ride: Casey! With our powers combined, this was destined to an epic throwdown. 

The game started off with a bang as Algorithm & Blues (a top-tier team name) threw out a big double down. This soft-spoken-yet-mighty threesome came to Idle Hour to eat giant soft pretzels and win at trivia...and they'd already finished their pretzel. 

Not to be outdone, a massive party of Play Fleetwood Mac (sorry, by the way. DJ Pandora was feeling the Stones tonight) had a team member for every style of trivia, including two birthday celebrations. While they didn't always have the right answer, they always had the right attitude. 

Casey took round three and challenged the teams for a themed round of courtroom drama, and that might have been the catalyst needed to awaken two sleeping giants: CHICKEN NUGGETS and Booooooooobs (with a few more O's for good measure). These titans decided then and there that an epic showdown was due. 

Enter the drinking round, which we at Idle Hour call the Shot Round (do we call it that? Is it just me?). With the Halloween spirit in the air, we asked the teams to guess how many pounds of candy were bought in America each year. If you guessed 600 million pounds, you ought to see your doctor and have that thing checked out. You would also be right. Booooooobs took the free booze and hoped to win it all.

When it came down to Round Seven, the big kahuna, it was a nailbiter. A single point separated our leaderboard, and it was clearly anyone's game. But when we announced that the teams needed to know about metal bands, CHICKEN NUGGETS roared with excitement. It seemed we had stumbled into their sector of knowledge. 

But would it be enough?

When the dust settled, we had as close a contest as you could expect without going into a tie-breaker! Algorithm & Blues knocked it out with third, Boooooooobs brought in a respectable second, and newbie CHICKEN NUGGETS grabbed that brass ring and the grand prize!

Idle Hour is the place to be every Tuesday night at 8PM. While you might not always have the wonderful Casey backing up this humble QM, you'll always have great food, great people, and the greatest trivia game this side of Jeopardy.
