QUIZ RECAP

As the heat returned to the Valley, so did America’s favorite trivia show. That’s right, loyal readers, this barrel-shaped paradise was once again hopping with quizzical questers and champions of challenges. It’s King Trivia at Idle Hour!

25 teams packed the house to show their support for local bars, delicious food, and flop-sweating quizmasters. With three prizes and a bucket of candy in hand, the show began with aplomb. 

Round One ended in our normal tie, but with nearly a third of the teams represented! It was an opening bout that would set the tone for a bout of legendary proportions. We’re talking Rumble in the Jungle. We’re talking Vader versus Luke. We’re talking King Trivia, baby. 

Rond Two whittled down the competition slightly, but still held a 4-strong tie at the top: Daisy’a Dukes, The Rise of the Quizantine Empire, Win or Booze, and Seriously Silly Goose. 

Round Three and four split the top teams into two groups, with Daisy and Goose taking the top spots and Empire and Booze falling behind. 

Our drinking round challenged the teams to discern in what year human beings could possibly have enjoyed a glass of chocolate milk (as we were celebrating National Chocolate the Milk Day). With the closest guess by far, 720 of Emotions took the free shots!

Round Five turned out to be a bit of a stumper, but our intrepid heroes weren’t about to let a little adversity get in between them and the amazing prizes on offer. With a bit of gumption and more than a little guesswork, they persevered. We had a first, as we exited Found Five with more leaders than we arrived: Daisy’a Dukes, The Rise of the Quizantine Empire, Win or Booze, Seriously Silly Goose. and Tequila Tots!

Round Six was a fairly easy bit of US geography (at according to some). After only a few minutes of play, we managed to separate our leaderboard. Seriously Silly Goose managed to take over the top spot, tied with newbies Little Buff Bois!

As the final seconds drained from the hourglass, we called an end to our competition. Round Seven caused both elation and anxiety, but proved a worthy sorting mechanism for our leaders. Still…a TIEBREAKER WAS DEMANDED!

Our final winners were Little Buff Bois, Seriously Silly Goose, and Daisy’a Dukes!
