QUIZ RECAP

Hold onto your hats, guys and ghouls, because it's Halloween Month at Idle Hour! Well, technically that started last week, but my patented Candy Bucket®©™ didn't arrive until now. Stuffed with all the latest in ToothRotTech, this sugar delivery vehicle was just what the teams needed to bring some serious energy. You guessed it: We had us a good old fashioned TRIVIA SESH!

We saw some amazing teams, from veterans Algorith & Blues and CHICKEN NUGGETS to an all-star rollout of newcomers: Troublemakers, Queer and Present Danger, and Crazy Kim and Her Fancy Band. With twenty teams and over one hundred players on the field, this was bound to be one for the books. 

Things started off with a stacked leaderboard. A few easy rounds lulled the teams into a false sense of security, but all that was about to change. We brought out the big guns in Round Three and got our groups thinking in terms of some salty snacks. Turns out a few of our teams were feeling a little salty themselves, and they doubled it down to grab those top spots. 

By Round Four, with teams barely missing some key clues, we had a clear frontrunner in Charlestown Chiefs. It was time for a little break, time for a drink, so we went to the candy dish for a Drinking Round. 

We asked the teams how much revenue M&Ms brought in over 2020 ($712 MM if you're curious). Thirsty Merchants earned the liquid prize with a just-under guess, and they were pumped to continue their hot streak.

In Rounds 5 and 6, we saw the leaderboard shift rapidly under the bombardment of double downs across the entire field! Crazy Kim and Her Fancy Band seemed liked a shoe-in for the top three, but then Queer and Present Danger snagged an easy 20 in Round 6. Suddenly, it was anyone's game. 

Finally, Round 7. The ultimate showdown. Nearly ten teams were all within sight of victory, but it came down to Chemistry. Specifically, the Periodic Table. As it turned out, our top three were each equally gifted in their knowledge of the elements, and the spots didn't move. 

Charlestown Chiefs took their victory by one point, leaving Queer and Present Danger and Troublemakers to fill out the leaderboard. 

While there were a few winners tonight, the greatest victor goes to the ENERGY from all these incredible teams. Are you feeling some FOMO? Need to get your quiz on all day long? Then come on down to Idle Hour every Tuesday night at 8PM!
