QUIZ RECAP

Another scorcher keeping the hot streak alive in NoHo…which worked perfectly as Idle Hour was running a hot streak for the BIGGEST TRIVIA SHOW IN TOWN! That’s right, you question-hungry kiddos. It was another great Tuesday night for King Trivia!

31 teams arrived, swathed in fanciful colors to denote their allegiances and kingdoms, prepared to do battle upon the barrel-shaped field. But only 3 could emerge from our tournament victorious…so who would it be?

While Round One ended with the usual massive tie of teams, Round Two ended with Algorithm and Blues jumping ahead of the pack with a clutch double. Second and Third place were tied up, with teams fighting for their spot on the leaderboard. After stuffing yet another team into the corner, we continued the show. 

Rounds Three and Four went fast and furious, with our leaderboard remaining tight at the top. Snark Squad took over second and held on tight, with Baby Geniuses 3 emerging into 3rd before the half. 

With the heat still beating down, we took a break for a drinking round. For National Ice Cream Sandwich Day, we challenged our teams with history and finance questions about the summertime treat. Emergency Food Birthday Cake Edition, celebrating an actual factual birthday, earned the right to some free shots courtesy of our amazing hosts!

While Round Five went by without much issues (aside from one team miraculously calling the connection after one question), Round Six saw a major shakeup on the leaderboard as Trivia Munn took second and Kingbeez jumped into third! With mere points between the top ten and victory, it was time for a final showdown. 

When the answers finally rolled in and “Final Countdown” ended, it was time to tally the scores and elect a true winner…after a quick Tie Breaker!

Algorithm and Blues took the grand prize, followed by Trivia Munn and Kingbeez! Snark Squad earned the coveted fourth place tin cup, while the rest of the teams left with new memories and bitter rivals. 

Come join us every Tuesday for more trivia action!
