It’s October in Los Angeles, so it’s a balmy 90 degrees and windless. Perfect trivia weather! Welcome to Idle Hour, the greatest show in all of NoHo…and welcome to KING TRIVIA!

26 teams joined us to celebrate the spooky season, earn a little candy, and crush a fistful of questions! 

Furious Jumpers took their lead early with a monstrous double, one of only two teams to have that confidence (next to the indomitable Legally Distinct Branding). Shortly after, Cheryl made a stand and rose into the leaderboard. Though their position was often shaken, they stayed strong all the way through to the end of the game. Silver and Bronze places swapped like Pogs in the late 90s: eagerly and questionably. It was anyone’s game, and these teams knew it. 

For our drinking round, we asked our teams to help the QM get inspiration for a Halloween costume. Drink 182 earned the free shots with a magical home-made Ursula outfit. Iconic as hell. 

Quizzie McGuire managed a sudden rise into second after Round 5, using that massive double jump to scootch passed the competition. But the surprise turn of the game came in Round 6 when Cheryl brought out the big guns (a knowledge of US State Mottos) to steal a narrow lead going into the final round! With a cunning display of patience and craft, they won the night and the (implied) golden crown. 

Our winners for the night were Cheryl, Furious Jumpers, and Quizzie McGuire!

Big teams with big dreams appeared in our barrel-shaped bastion of trivia and good times. It was the right moment for our weekly joining for the greatest game in all the land…KING TRIVIA!

25 teams arrived with a hunger for victory, but only three would emerge with their names etched in history. We began, as with most shows, with a massive tie at the top. It’s a good way to lull people into a sense of security. Round two was a shock as Bernie Maximus rose into an early lead with an impressive double…a lead they kept for most of the game. But while Emergency Food and Three Cool Boys fought over the silver spot, another team eyed the prize from the back of the pack. 

During our drinking round, Three Cool Boys beat out the competition to snag the shots. However, this liquid courage did little to add to their scorecards. 

In the final half of the game, it was Double Stuffed Oreos with some impressive doubles rising into the leaderboard, followed by an aggressive Drink 182. 

Our winners for the night were Double Stuffed Oreos, Bernie Maximus, and Drink 182.

There are few things better than King Trivia at Idle Hour. A child’s laughter, that first sip of hot cocoa on a cold day, defeating your enemies and seeing them driven before you. But little else compares to the thunderous emotions of 33 teams venturing forward toward trivial victory. 

The first half of our infamous show began with a massive tie. These were veteran teams setting themselves up for a sweep, but victory would not be so easily obtained. Bernie Maximus managed to lock in a solid lead in the third, but they were soon followed closely by Orgies and Oracles. 

For our drinking round, we honored the hallowed National Temperance Day by discussing the most powerful spirits and beers in the world. Peaches took the free shots with a narrow win in sudden death. 

In the final rounds of the night, Bernie dropped back as Montana and Furious Jumpers launched a salvo of risky doubles to rise into the top seats. 

Our winners for the night were Montana, Furious Jumpers, and Orgies and Oracles.
