QUIZ RECAP

It's that magical time of year between Christmas and New Years, and that can only mean one thing: It's time for THE BEST TRIVIA IN TOWN. That's right, it's Tuesday at Idle Hour and we've got trivia to go around!

14 teams braved the brisk weather to grab some delightful donuts, some tasty tostadas, and big ol' burgers...as well as they're favorite brand of pub-style quizzing...King Trivia. QM Adam was in the house with his usual musical accompainment, DJ Pandora. The stage was set for an epic showdown, and boy did we get one. 

While a few teams arrived late, and a few had to leave early, we still had veteran and newbie teams battling to the death for a share of that coveted leaderboard. Quizness Time and Agents of the Zeitgeist set up in their usual spots, quiz apps at the ready, with their eyes on the prize. Meanwhile, Winnaz and Shades of Green joined on a whim and quickly found themselves battling for supremacy. 

In our Drinking Round, we asked how many triangles made up the famous ball of lights for Time Square's NYE celebration. Shades of Green took their drinks by a mile, and that influx of carbs and sugar was just what they needed. 

As we rounded in the final few...er, rounds, Aleing Failures hit a spot of luck. World-wise travelers, they knew all the monetary denominations and doubled for a sudden rise into 4th place. Meanwhile, Shades of Green climbed within striking distance of the top spot. It was all down to the final question!

As it turned out, not many knew the full list of soap operas for the final round, but enough were guessed to shift our teams into their final spots. Zeitgeist took the crown, with Shades of Green and Aleing Failures below. What a way to end the year. 

2021 has been full of ups, downs, and new challenges. We hope that these excursions into a world of questions and answers has provided some salve and enjoyment, and we can't wait to do it all over again in 2022. 

Stay safe, stay strong, and we'll see you next year!
