IDLE HOUR RECAP

Trivia so nice they needed it twice. Idle Hour welcomed back teams for a second round of the most popular show in all of NoHo…KING TRIVIA! 

Nine teams entered the barrel-shaped battlefield, but they weren’t prepared for the sheer amount of chaos a solid quiz show can provide. 

Team Mango managed to hold a respectable lead for most of the first half, but People quickly saw an opportunity to double and leapt into the top spot. With that momentum, it almost became a destined event. 

But People (the team, not a generic term for the crowd) was unwilling to accept this victory as fated. They launch into a series of risky doubles, quickly matching and then overtaking Mango as the dominant life form in this trivia-mordial soup. 

In the final round, it came down to a knowledge of filmography…and only one team had apparently ever seen a movie. 

Our winners for the night were Team Mango, Chewbacca’s Co-Pilot, and People!

QUIZ RECAP

On the waning eves of the Festival of Lights, there’s no better place to spin your dreidel than Idle Hour for KING TRIVIA. 24 teams arrived in our barrel-shaped battlefield for the quizzical art of war. 

The first half of the show was dominated by the team of strutting peacocks known as NBC. With a large group and plenty of shared knowledge, they seemed unbeatable…but some teams weren’t so ready to give up on the big prize. 

During our drinking round, we held our annual Idle Hour Dreidel throw down. Amazingly, we saw a return of the champions from Kingbeez, spinning masterfully to defend their crown. 

In the second half of the game, Totem Pole arrived with a fury and some well-played doubles, extending a lead that would carry them to the finals. But Bernie Maximus and Poor Things refused to go out so quietly. In the end, it came down to mere points. 

Our winners for the night were bottom of the totem pole, Bernie Maximus, and POOR THINGS - NOW IN THEATERS!

QUIZ RECAP

Oh the weather outside was…80. And the crowds were hot and lazy. But since they’ve no place to go…trivia show, trivia show, trivia show! It’s King Trivia time here at Idle Hour in NoHo, and 19 teams were itching to go. With the delicious food and seasonal drinks flowing, we got right down to quizness!

Things opened with an outrageous play as 60% of our teams doubled down for a spot at the top! For many, it would be their only time in first place. For others, it was a portent of greatness to come. 

We’re the Problems managed to sneak into a lead for the first half of the show, but their success only fueled the fires of competition. 

For our Drinking Round, we celebrated Krampusnaucht with a special quiz. Bernie Maximus had the holiday spirit on lock and took home the free shots (for legal reasons, we should clarify that these shots were consumed on the premises).

The final rounds came down to single digit spreads as our teams through caution to the wind and doubled early and often. With a final tie-breaker (and a nail-biter) we crowned our winners.  

Our winners for the night were It’s Quizness Time, We’re the Problem it’s Us, and Kingbeez!
