How do you demonstrate “spectacular?” It could be a fireworks festival, the latest Fast and/or Furious movie, and—of course—KING TRIVIA at Idle Hour!

32 teams (and nearly 150 people) joined us for the finest two hours of quizzing money can buy…because our shows are FREE.

Round One lead to the normal enormous tie, but it was a short-lived share of the top spot

By Round Two, we had a defined leader in His Name is Grogu!

Round Three swapped things around as Algorithm and Blues, back from their long hiatus, jumped into the top spot. 

Round Four saw the Furious Jumpers risk it all with a big swing to claim a single point lead. 

To honor National Sunglasses Day (for the Drinking Round), we tasked our teams with showing off their coolest sunny photos. After a harrowing tie-breaker, Emergency Food took the free shots.  

Round Five saw Furious, Algorithm, and Quiz Kid Donnie Smith holding the line, but most teams were within ten points. 

Round Six was a shocker as Quiz Kid slipped down and Bugle took its place in third!

Round Seven saw all the doubles and fails come to fruition as our teams risked it all for a final victory. 

 

We ended the night with a big win.  Furious Jumpers, Three Cool Boys, and Algorithm and Blues!

The only thing better than King Trivia with a board certified Quizmaster? TWO QUIZMASTERS! QM Trainee Daisy was in the house at Idle Hour to show off her skills and deliver the thrills. 

31 teams join us in quiztastic combat for a chance to win big…or live in the deepest shame any human can feel: losing at pub trivia. 

Round One warmed up the teams with a few easy lobs, leading to a massive twelve-way tie for the top spot. Like most nights. But that’s where the realm of the normal ended.

See this was no usual evening at Idle Hour. Normally, teams double with regularity, risking it all for a big jump that keeps the scores high and the morale higher. But tonight, our devious designers at King Trivia HQ crafted a tricksy trap of trivia teasers. Doubles flew for sure…but most crashed and burned. 

In Round Two, not a single double landed and only Three Cool Boys emerged with a single point lead. In Round Three, Kingbeez and Quiz Kid Donnie Smith inched closer to the top with just a few points on the board. In Round Four, most teams could hardly add six to their ledgers!

Our Drinking Round took a break from the regular and dove into the spectacular as we honored Quiz Master Adam’s upcoming birth-a-versary. While many teams performed well at “Do You Know Your QM,” it was MotherQuake with a Mr. Clean-themed musical that took the free shots. 

Round Five was another stumper, and it looked like Three Cool Boys might take it all home…until…

Round Six was a sports round, which always throws our teams for loops. This night, however, we had some college sports fans in the house…and their successful doubles changed the game. 

 

We ended the night with some surprise victories.  Montana, jackyboys (and girls), and Three Cool Boys!

Round One hit the ground with some crowd pleasers and brain teasers, leading to a massive 6-way tie at the top spot. 

Round Two narrowed down the leaderboard to Quiz-Teama Aguilera, Quiz Kid Donnie Smith, and Three Cool Boys!

Round Three and Four saw Three Cool Boys lock in an early lead, but with second and third only points behind. 

Our Drinking Round challenged the teams in their knowledge of the ancient trade of…sewing. With a sudden death with, Trivia Feels Good in a Place Like This earned the free shots!

Rounds Five mixed it up as Quiz Kid separated into a solid second spot with Quiz-Teama in third. 

Round Six and Seven were the battles of the doubles as teams risked it all for one chance at glory. However, some key mistakes kept them from rising to the top.
