An inspiring showing for the veteran teams of Idle Hour. With the skies in a full on downpour, they donned their raincoats and galoshes to venture down the roaring rapids and compete in the greatest of all competitions: KING TRIVIA! 

Our tempestuous teams tied the top spot for three rounds, but Bernie Maximus came to play with some healthy doubles. By the end of the first half, they seemed a sure bet. 

We honored National Cherry Pie Day with our Drinking Round, which went to Sober Bartenders for knowing the most words to the song Cherry Pie!

As the second half came to a close, Trivial Pursuit snuck in with an epic double to steal the lead…and they held their ground til the end. 

 

Our winners for the night were Trivial Pursuit of Dat Ass, Bernie Maximus, and Powerbomb!

Happy Valentine’s Day Eve from Idle Hour! With love in the air, it only made sense for the King to descend from his throne and bestow upon the hapless denizens of NoHo the greatest of all trivia shows. That’s right, friends. KING TRIVIA was in the house, and the roof was quite literally* on fire. 

The first half of the game was spent in a dead heat as no fewer than four teams locked themselves in first place with double after double. As we rounded into the half, We’re the Problem managed to squeak in ahead and earn the first shot at the gold. 

For our drinking round, we asked the teams to write the perfect pun-filled Valentine’s Day card. The Bugle snagged it with “Are you Microsoft Excel, because you’re a freak in the sheets.”

Our final half was a tale of doubles spent and doubles wasted, of love and loss, and of the power held by Nintendo’s iconic brawler. It was an epic return for some, and a dramatic fall for others. It all ended with an amazing tie-breaker for 2nd and 3rd.

 

Our winners for the night were Trivial Pursuit of Dat Ass, We’re the Problem it’s Us, and POOR THINGS!

Neither rain nor sleet nor flooded streets can keep a Quizmaster from their venue. Our teams sailed in or rowed up on makeshift rafts, but there was no trouble making a sizable crowd for tonight’s edition of KING TRIVIA here at Idle Hour. With 15 teams hungry for some action, we dove into another epic showdown. 

The first half of our game was dominated by Team Good, as they leveraged an early double to hold down the other teams in second place. The momentum shifted during the Drinking Round, as Not Natalie Portmans used their hard-earned shots to build up the courage for a few risky doubles that brought them into second. But second soon became the hottest spot in town, with a three-way tie amongst the veteran teams. 

In Round 6, Three Cool Boys made their move, slipping just ahead of the pack by a hair and nabbing the gold medal position. It was still a neck-and-neck game…and it was about to get necker!

After seven rounds of intense trivia, we still had our three teams vying for a spot, so we went to the tie-breaker. Trivial Pursuit of Dat Ass, hesitant though they may have been, risked a big jump in the final question…and earned their place in history. 

 

Our winners for the night were Three Cool Boys, Trivial Pursuit of Dat Ass, and Not Natalie Portmans!
