THE OFFICE THEMED EVENT VOL.1 RECAP
Fish your stapler out of the jello and harvest those mung beans inside your desk. It’s time for an extra special episode of The Office…trivia edition! That’s right, Dunder Mifflin. We’ve got seven rounds of pub trivia here at Idle Hour, and some amazing prizes to boot!
It was literally 100º, but that didn’t the dozens of Office fans that joined the fray to show off their knowledge of beets, boardrooms, and Battlestar Galactica. 22 teams wore their casual Friday attire and prepared to battle for glory the only way we know how…with QUIZZES!
Round One saw a small duo separate from the pack with a well-placed double down. Bippity Boppity Give Me the Zoppity and Sabre Sirens held the lead, followed by a somewhat cautious Somehow We Manage. What would happen next?
As it turns out, Sabre Sirens would stage a coup and jump into first place, knocking Bippity back to second. Somehow stayed in third, but only held their position by a few points.
Rounds Three and Four passed with little fanfare, save Schrute Farms pushing Somehow back and securing third place.
Our Drinking Round challenged the teams to determine just how many times Jim turned and mugged to camera across the ENTIRE series (653, if you’re curious). With the closest guess, Sabre Sirens earned the free shots, while 14-inch Plasma TVs earned stickers for a shockingly close second.
Round Five proved a challenge even to these dedicated teams. Still, nothing would deter these paper pushers from their prizes. With a powerful surge (possibly from their free shots), Sabre Sirens leapt into first place, and Somehow We Manage returned to their home in third.
Round Six pushed our teams to their limits. Bippity was hurting from their unseating and needed a big win, while Sirens were eager to just hold the lead as long as possible. Bippity not only reclaimed the throne, but Somehow We Manage emerged into second place! This was shaping up to be one for the record books.
Round Seven was no joke, pushing even the most seasoned Office fans to the brink. Many left with their sense of self completely shattered, while others had their fandom rejuvenated. In the end, however, only three could be the big winners.
With an amazing comeback, Somehow We Manage took the top spot, followed by Bippity Boppity Give Me the Zoppity and Sabre Sirens!
Come join us on Tuesday for a return to more trivia!
