- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
Don’t let those post Thanksgiving blues knock you down. You might have missed out on Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and whatever the heck people were up to on Saturday, but Tuesday night is always a great night…for trivia! That’s right, it’s time for the best show in all of NoHo: King Trivia at Idle Hour!
22 teams arrived in our hallowed hall of historical knowledge (a smaller crowd than we usually see, but people are still getting home from the holidays).
We got things started off slowly with a tie at the top of Round 1. Quizness Time and Good Question had the right stuff to double down, but could they hold onto the lead? As it turns out…one of them could! Good Question stepped ahead with a small lead in Round 2, hoping to hang on through the rest of the game.
Not so fast! Round 3 ended up going top #ChargeOn, and Round 4 switched over to Bernie Maximus and Grandma’s Ghost!
For our Drinking Round, we paid respect to the big Red Planet. Good Question had the NASA Knowledge to put that victory in the can and free shots on their table.
Bernie took the lead coming into the second half, but Montana and #ChargeOn were only points behind in second. It was going to be a photo finish for the big win. Montana tied it in Round 6, leaving only a few points left to win the entire game.
It came down to a SINGLE POINT to declare our champions.
Our winners for the night were Bernie Maximus, Montana, and Christmas Sweaters!

The players came out to play on the Tuesday before thanksgiving. Trivia and not Turkey was on the brain as the race for the top prize was very close.
In the end, Good Question, Next Question claimed the top spot and bragging rights.
The drinking round consisted of presenting a $50 bill and folding it into the best Turkey. (Turkey was kind of on the brain).

We’re getting thankful up this barrel-shaped house. Why shouldn’t we? It’s a Tuesday, the weather is nice, and we have seven rounds of KING TRIVIA to look forward to!
31 teams arrived for what would turn out to be a truly epic evening of questions, answers, and self reflection.
The first half of the game opened with an unheard of 12-way tie for first place. Round after round, we whittled down the groups, but could not find a single leader. In fact, up until the very last moment of the game, this was a shared seat at first place.
We honored National Pickle Day for our drinking round, and Legally Distinct Branding managed to sneak in the victory and earn their free drinks. But then the true battle began.
Paul Giamatti (team not the actor) and Union Barbie had a lock on the top spot for the entire game…up through Round 6. During a tricky mix and match round, a few teams chose the cautious path forward, while others threw caution to the wind. With a risky double leapfrogging the competition, new champion emerged in time to steal victory from the jaws of defeat.
Our winners for the night were Jakes Varjynia by Ronald Mcdonalds Charlotte House, Paul Giamatti, and Grandma’s Ghost!
