QUIZ RECAP

The heavens were open this fine Tuesday eve as the rains blessed the folk out in NoHo. Despite the chilly temperature and slightly wetter weather, the crowds were out in force to enjoy the best part of the holidays: KING TRIVIA!

12 teams braved their way to Idle Hour seeking out warmth, a dry haven to manage the storm, and the best trivia show in all the lands. With our assembled teams raring to go, we kicked things off with a test of general knowledge. 

Round One was more of a maneuvering challenge as the QM wove between tables and ducked under umbrellas to spread the word and keep the guests up to speed on the contest. In the end, three teams locked in a solid double and took the top spot: The Valley Girls, Lee’s Here, and It’s Quizness Time!

Round Two placed our teams in the shoes of the Paparazzi, trying to identify celebrities based on their outrageous outfits. With such subjective material, it was only natural for the herd to thin out and a leader to emerge. The Valley Girls took the top spot, followed by It’s Quizness Time and Lee’s Here.

With a deceptively fun and catchy name, Round Three presented our teams with question about sports and spice (it was all quite nice). The Valley Girls ended up tied with Don Cheadle’s Driveway, while Lee’s Here and It’s Quizness Time took a tie for second.

In our Guess Who Round, most teams figured it out in two, keeping the scores locked as we moved into the Drinking Round. 

It’s National Fruitcake Day! We asked our teams to tell us how many fruitcakes are sold in the US every year. With the closest guess by about 800,000, It’s Quizness Time took the round!

Round Five went crazy fast as the teams needed to guess a connection between nine desperately strange answers. After correctly guessing that everything pointed toward a certain “strong to the finish” sailor, Don Cheadle’s Driveway leapt ahead into first!’

Our penultimate round was all about national parks, and these teams…just weren’t really about that. In a sudden burst, Lee’s Here took away the lead by a single point! It would all come down to the final round. 

With everything on the line, our champions threw down the gauntlet and answered to the best of their abilities. It went to a tie-breaker to settle the final score, but we crowned It’s Quizness Time our champions, with Lee’s Here and Don Cheadle’s Driveway following. 

Come join us every Tuesday for more trivia action.
