QUIZ RECAP

Tue Aug 30 2022

Another delightful Tuesday in NoHo. The air was on fire, sure, but that just meant the stage was heating up…for an epic trivia throwdown! That’s right, loyal readers, it was time for King Trivia at the one and only Idle Hour!

34 teams joined the fun for a sweaty, satisfying sleuthing adventure. With cold drinks and hot apps flying around the barrel-shaped bar, it was going to be one heck of a show. 

Round One was a first for this QM and this venue as ZERO TEAMS had perfect scores! We did have a massive tie at the top with 5 points, but it was a shocker to say the least. 

Round 2 saw a quick shift as teams decided to stream and chill with 8 images of famous streaming networks. With some momentum now, Hooligans jumped into first place, followed by Quizzy McGuire and Quiz Kid Donnie Smith.

Round Three took us to the land of Hyrule and 6th grade literature, looking at Zeldas of various notorieties. While Hooligans held their lead, Kill the Siren and Jimmy Timmy Power Hour knocked out the other top two!

Round Four saw Jimmy Timmy move from third to second, but the scores only grew closer. This was shaping up to be an incredibly tight game!

During our drinking round, we pad homage to the greatest of campfire treats: the marshmallow. With an outstanding guess regarding the invention of the Extruder (for shaping mallows), Hackmigos earned some free shots. 

Round Five saw the points grow tighter but the leaders stay in roughly the same spot. This was all going to come down to bravery. Which team was willing to risk it to get the biscuit and go for that DOUBLE DOWN? 

Round Six tasked our teams with combining Pixar Antagonists with their associated films. After a few grueling minutes, our leaders emerged ready for the final showdown. With no movement on the board yet again, it would all come down to these final ten questions. 

As Round Seven came to a close (and Europe sang its fateful song), we crowned our champions: The Hooligans took first, Kill the Sirens had second, and Jimmy Timmy Power Hour earned third. 

Come join us every Tuesday for more trivia action.
