QUIZ RECAP

Welcome to the first Trivia Show for 2023 here at Idle Hour! With the weather still very wet and chilly, only the most fervent quiz champions (and those already back from vacation) braved the storms to claim their place in history. Seven rounds divided them from their much-deserved glory, so there was no time to waste in getting started. 

Round One was a great warm up to shake off the New Year’s Eve confetti and get back down to quizness. Five teams locked in a solid double right off the bat, but with more groups joining by the minute it was going to be a fight to the finish. 

Round Two was all about movies with short story times (though not necessarily short run times). Our in-house aficionados Diana Spencer’s Gifts, It’s Quizness Time, and Here for the Host tied in first. 

Round Three forced this QM to look up how to pronounce the “Nobel” in Nobel Prize (It’s the normal way, BTW). Diana Spencer’s Gifts took a chancy double to step into first, carving out a decent lead along the way. 

Round Four was our Guess Who Round, offering the chance for a quick leap into the leaderboard. Here for the Host went for the opportunity and earned third place!

In our Drinking Round was all about the most important invention of the 19th century: the Drinking Straw. With an outstanding bit of guesswork, Diana Spencer’s Gifts won the free shots (we were sensing a trend).  

Round Five presented a celestial challenge to our teams, but a few folks weren’t here to be fooled; they were here to win! Wonder Twin Powers Activate took the form of Third Place…and made it their home. 

Round Six was a sports fanatic’s dream, and it turned out Jellyfish Assassins were just that kind of trivia nerd. They took the opportunity to double down and rocket to second!

The Final Round was all about the music, and our teams…were mostly stumped. Still, it was enough to reach the end without a tie. 

After the dust settled, Diana Spencer’s Gifts took first, Jellyfish Assassins took second, and Wonder Twin Powers Activate earned third.
