QUIZ RECAP

The sweet cool Fall air was…just a few months away, so we entered the barrel-shaped paradise of Idle Hour with a little heat already surrounding the building. It was a perfect night for a night cool drink, some relaxation, and the BEST TRIVIA SHOW IN TOWN! That’s right, it was time for more King Trivia!

27 teams from all around the country arrived in our terrific trivia testing arena, eager to bring home the bacon. 

The first round lead to a three-way tie as veteran teams risked the double for an early position. Win or Booze, Snark Squad, and Sloppy Freakin’ Tots stepped out front, but that only put targets on their backs. Could they maintain the momentum as the show continued?

In Round Two, we challenged our gorgeous guessers to de-age photos of child celebrities. With a clutch play, Diana Spencer’s Gifts managed to snag more answers and take the first lead of the game! But with the rest of the board separated by only a few points, they might have only awakened a fiercer competition. 

Round Three pushed our teams to the limit…in their knowledge of northern areas of the globe…and starch. It was an odd theme round to be sure, but nothing could put off our intrepid competitors. However, a risky double kept Diana Spencer from making waves, leading to Win or Booze and Sloppy Tots taking a small but important leap ahead. 

The scores hardly moved through Round 4, keeping our leaders the same as we went into a Drinking Round. 

Our drinking round was designed around the wonderful holiday: National Sponge Cake Day! We asked our teams to show off pictures from their phones of them enjoying some cake, and boy did we have incredible answers. After a wild tie-breaker, we awarded the free shots to Jar Jar Drinks!

Round Five was a real thinker, challenging the teams to go completely outside the box to find the connection for nine disparate answers. However, a few teams were able to pull together some impressive scores. Still, after Rounds Five and Six ended, Sloppy Tots still held their lead with DSG close behind. It was going to be a photo finish!

Round Seven was the true kingmaker, challenging our players like never before. This was a harrowing time, emotions were felt, and friendships were shattered forever. But, in the end, only one team could take the crown.

As the final scores were tallied, Sloppy Freakin’ Tots took the top spot, followed by Diana Spencer’s Gifts and Win or Booze!

Come join us every Tuesday for more King Trivia action.
