QUIZ RECAP

Fall has finally arrived in Los Angeles! Granted, that only means we’re down to the seventies, but it was enough to bring out the winter coats as Angelinos flooded the streets of NoHo with only one goal in mind…TRIVIA! That’s right, party people, it’s trivia night at Idle Hour. 

21 teams joined our barrel-shaped haven to enter into fierce quizzical combat. While their tastebuds were delighted by the delicious food, their brains were on fire from a never-ending onslaught of questions. 

Round One led to an absolutely massive tie at the top of the board, and was truly humbling for many teams that THOUGHT they remembered math. 

Round Two inspired a number of teams to watch American Horror Story, although that realization was far too late to help them in this moment. Two for Tea used the confusion to leap ahead into first, with Dynamic Duo and Emergency Food locking in a tie for second and third. 

Round Three had our teams comparing apples and oranges, which is something most city leader warn against! It was a straightforward round that offered the chance to advance…but were our teams too stunned to take advantage? As it turns out, Emergency Food and Dynamic Duo were both still in it to win it, and they unseated Two for Tea to take first place. 

In Round Four, Emergency Food proved they were bigger Rush Hour fans than anyone else, securing the top spot all to themselves. It was the best of times, it was the worst of Tim took second, and Dynamic Duo slinked back to third. 

Our drinking round was all about greasy foods, and we had our teams share photos from their most decadent meals. With a deep friend pork butt and an intimate knowledge of deep fried Oreos, Tequila Tots earned their free shots!

Round Five was a furious rush of questions and connections, and the teams were eager to earn those sweet double points. In a stunning turn, Camp Mohawk launched into first place, followed by Emergency Food and The Worst of Tim! 

Round Six was as tight as they come, with both of our top two teams earning perfect scores…but not doubling down! It would come down to the last question in Round Seven to decide our winner. 

As the dust settled and a tie was broken, we crowned Camp Mohawk as two-time winners, Emergency Food in second, and Kingbeez in third.

Another wild and crazy night of King Trivia at Idle Hour this fine Tuesday. While the temperatures were a little on the higher side, so was the atmosphere as we welcome 25 teams into our barrel-shaped battlefield. 

Round One opened with a few easy questions to get the ol’ juices flowing. This of course led to a massive 9-way tie that would take all of one round to disperse. 

In Round Two, our teams’ lack of knowledge regarding the honorifics of England left the champs scrambling…and a few doubles came up empty! Two teams, however, rose to the top: O-trivia Wilde and Trivial Pursuers! 

These two champs managed to hold their own through Round Three as the storms raged around them (trivially speaking), but Round Four saw a shock to the system as O-Trivia Wilde took the lead! We also saw a four-way tie for thirds with Trivial Pursuers, Know Nothing Newbies, Cabot Cove’s Ghost, and Murder Hornets.

In our drinking round, we paid homage to the most revered of national holidays, National Leggings Day! With a killer guess, Benis Palls took the free shots! 

Round Five proved a lesser challenge to these savvy soldiers of sleuthing. Scores rose like the tide, leading to a sudden tie at the top by Cabot Cove’s Ghost and Murder Hornets. 

Then in Round Six, our vain vagabonds shifted the scores again with some inconsistent doubling, leading to a new tie at the top: Murder Hornets and Camp Mohawk. 

As the final scores were tallied following a harrowing Round Seven, we still had one final tie-breaker to win. With a spot on guess, O-Trivia Wilde took third place, led by Murder Hornets and Camp Mohawk.

QUIZ RECAP

The winds were blowing and several drops of water (aka an LA downpour) splattered the barrel-shaped roof as a tournament of champions opened upon the trivial field of battle. With delicious food and satisfying libations flying around the room, it was the perfect atmosphere for a truly epic game of King Trivia!

18 teams arrived eager to continue the spooky season with some free candy (courtesy of this QM) and some challenging questions. Fortunately, we had both in spades. 

Round One of course led to a massive 7-way tie, but our teams weren’t discouraged. It proved that these folks were ready to risk big to win big. But would that foolhardy nature serve them well…or bring their ruin?

Round Two was all about the much beloved 2010 video for “We Are The World.” You know the one. Two teams managed to leap ahead of the competition: Camp Mohawk and Cabot Cove’s Ghost!

Round Three saw Camp Mohawk shoot into first place, leaving the other teams scrambling a few points behind. While they were able to hold this lead after Round Four, Cabot Cove’s Ghost and Algorithm and Blues collided in a tie at second place. It was heading toward a powerful brawl  for the top spots!

For our Drinking Round, we asked the teams for advice on what costume this QM should wear. While there were AMAZING suggestions, we are nothing if not a sucker for wordplay, which is why we award Algorithm and Blues for their suggestion of Norma Jean Val Jean!

Round Five forced our teams to think about their childhood, all the way back to the first books they might have read. Campy Mohawk maintained position while Cabot Cove rose a few points ahead. With little time left, could anyone unseat these champions?

Round Six was all about the heroes and villains of comic book movies, which should have been a snap! With some impressive doubles, we saw the scores…not change at all, as everyone moved up together. It would all come down to the final few questions. 

Round Seven was all about rap artists and telecommunications…totally normal stuff, you know. It pushed our champions to the limit of their trivia knowledge.

After a nail-biting tie-breaker, we crowned our winners for the evening: Camp Mohawk, Algorithm and Blues, and Cabot Cove’s Ghost!
