- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
A chilly winter day never stood a chance against the raging fire of trivia here at Idle Hour. Over 30 teams arrives at our barrel-shaped battlefield to test their mettle and fight for points in the game of games…KING TRIVIA!
Quiz Kid Donnie Smith returned from their long hiatus with a hunger that could not be matched. From round 2, they dabbled in doubles and quickly quashed questions with unmatched ferocity. But they were not able to steal the lead so easily. Poor Things gave a tireless chase, always within two points of the top spot. It seemed these two were destined for an epic battle.
We gave our teams a needed respite with a challenging drinking round, asking them to guess what shirt QM Adam was wearing (it was a little more complicated and thematic, but that’s the gist of it). With a guess that was JUUUUUUST close enough, Drink 182 earned free shots and the liquid courage they needed for the second half.
As we returned from the free drinks, it seemed Quiz Kid had the game in the bag, but King Trivia is nothing if not fickle. In a Round 6 twist, Poor Things jumped in with a mighty double to leap ahead into first! It was all coming down to the final round! And, as it turns out, nobody was ready for what came next.
Our winners for the night were POOR THINGS, Quiz Kid Donnie Smith, and 3 Cool Boys!

Happy New Year, members of the trivia kingdom. It’s 2024, the year we get some more, and there’s only one way to really ring in the season. That’s right, seven rounds of America’s favorite pub game…KING TRIVIA.
Idle Hour was reserved and calm (as many of our veteran teams were still off on vacation), but the trivia was almost too hot to handle.
11 teams joined the show ready to rock and roll. We started off with a bang as, for the first time in Idle Hour history, we had a leader right from the jump! Bernie Maximus had the only effective double on the board, placing them in prime position to start a commanding lead.
For our Drinking Round, we played a game of “Resolutions.” With the most honest, but probably the most often broken, Kingbeez won the free shots. “Resolution not to cry in the bathroom every day at work.”
With only a few points separating our top five teams, the second half of the show was a game of inches, with each team throwing everything at the wall to try and scrape ahead. But when the dust settled, a clear winner stood above the others.
Our winners for the night were Bernie Maximus, Alligator, and Kingbeez!
