QUIZ RECAP

Mark your calendars. November 2nd is going down as one of the biggest, boldest shows Idle Hour has ever seen! 15 teams from all across the country (or possibly just two states) joined under the awnings of the outdoor dining area for what can only be described as an epic poem come to life. That's right, it was time for King Trivia!

We saw returning champions, eager veterans, and a huge roster of newbies join the fray to fight for a spot at the top of the board. It was time to test their trivia mettle, so we settled in for Round Number 1. 

Only minutes into the show and we had a massive 8-way tie at the top with double downs flying! But by Round 2, Quiz Kid Donnie Smith leapt far ahead of the competition and took the top spot. They seemed almost uncatchable round after round, and their victory was almost assured.

But then, of course, came the drinking round. Since we'd recently celebrated Halloween, we invited the teams to show off pictures of their costumes and be judged by the helpful servers of Idle Hour. Our winner, Play Fleetwood Mac, showed up with a homemade, award-winning Zuko suit! Of course we love Zuko more than we fear you, so they had to take the W and the free drinks!

Round 5 landed with a fury, and suddenly our top spot became anyone's game. The top ten teams were each within striking distance, whether Algorithm and Blues or Agents of the Zeitgeist

Still, one team had a card yet to be played.

During Round 6, it seemed that few teams knew their monarchy history (or had at least binged The Crown). That is, except for C&K. With a sudden double down, they were in the lead by mere points. It was a coup!

Round 7 was a little controversial (The Nintendo Switch is technically a portable system, though Nintendo Co. does refer to it as a console), but the final score was settled without any issue. Quiz Kid took the third spot, followed by Zeitgeist, with a come-from-behind victory for out of towners C&K!

You don't want to miss another minute of trivia actions, so come on down to Idle Hour every Tuesday at 8PM!
