- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
June Gloom might bring feelings of doom to the room but that can’t compare to the quiz king! That’s right, Idle Hour was the place to be for America’s favorite pub style trivia game…KING TRIVIA!
25 teams (and over a 130 people) sat down for a raucous round of risk and reward.
Round One warmed up the teams with a basic batch of questions, leading to a massive ten-way tie for first place.
Round Two paid homage to the heroes writers and show runners that make our favorite series. Two teams, the Bad New Care Bears and Emergency Food: Across the Food Pyramid, took an early lead.
Round Three’s trotted out the oldies with lawn games and horror movies. E Food leapt away from the competition into first.
Round Four had our teams craving justice of the supreme variety. Bad News locked in a solid second place, but it was tight early game.
Our Drinking Round took a trip down memory lane to the first drive-ins in America. Kingbeez had their eyes on the prize and earned some delicious free shots.
Rounds Five kept things tight as our top ten teams were within TEN POINTS of each other. It was a maddeningly close game.
Round Six separated our teams into two groups: those that had done the summer reading, and the cool kids. Mercurial Boyz took a risky double and shot up from fifth place into first!
Round Seven was chaos, anyone’s game, and there was blood in the water. Doubles flew with wild abandon, and soon we had our leaderboard.
Our winners were, in a surprise twist, I know what I know, Mercurial Boyz, and Emergency Food!

The May Gray failed to overshadow the bright minds and eager guests for tonight’s brilliant episode of KING TRIVIA! While a few TV shows may be ending, our adventure at Idle Hour never will!
23 teams joined together for a spirited journey through the world of questions and answers, and we were all too happy to lead them into the fray.
Round One helped our intrepid heroes shake off a coating of quiz dust and warm up their mental muscles. Taking an early lead were Quiz Kid Donnie Smith, Spice Girls, Breakfast All Day, and Pit Vipers.
Round Two took our teams on a tour of the country’s National Parks. Quiz Kid stepped into an earlier and powerful lead.
Round Three’s theme wasn’t too favorable to Edgar Wright fans, but nonetheless Quiz Kid maintained their impressive lead.
Round Four saw Breakfast All Day and Pit Vipers jump ahead into the top spot, knocking Quiz Kid aside!
Our Drinking Round was a drawing contest, challenging our teams to come up with their best interpretation of “bad dog.” With a delightful twist on “50 shades of gray,” 80085 won the free shots.
Rounds Five we started horsing around with a Find the Connection riddle. While no one had the equestrian knowledge to take the whole derby, Pit Vipers managed to snag the top spot!
Round Six was all about Meryl Streep, which as it turns out was a group speciality for Spice Girls. With a risky double, they managed to jump into a slim lead.
Round Seven ended with a tie for second and third, and after a brief and congenial SUDDEN DEATH, we had our scores.
Our winners for the night were Spice Girls, Breakfast All Day and Pit Vipers.

The Frozé machine rumbled and churned, spinning up a vermillion concoction that satisfied every overworked customer in the bustling Idle Hour Bar. They were tired from work, commutes, and the general ennui of modern life…but they were still AMPED AS ALL GET OUT for some King Trivia!
23 team braved the overcast and near-perfect 68 degree weather to enter the barrel-shaped battlefield for a chance to win one of three incredible prizes.
Round One was a solid warm up, but our teams were feeling a bit apprehensive. Only two risked the double, which led to a tie for Legless Hippos and The Bugle.
Round Two came down to which team had ever watched an Elvis movie. Turns out…not that many! Legless took the lead and seemed unstoppable.
Round Three was a tricky new round that threw veterans and newbies alike. Legless risked a double and missed opening the ground for Three Cool Boys with a tie.
Round Four saw Bandurwagon and Bad News Cear Bears use their knowledge of veteran comediennes to snag a tie in third.
Our Drinking Round challenged our teams to come up with their best Laffy Taffy jokes. With an incredibly timely and touching joke, Bugle took the free shots! “What do you call it when QM Adam naps? His Idle Hour!”
Rounds Five wasn’t too hard to piece together, and quite a few teams locked in the connection. But only Frugs had the forethought to throw it all on the line for a third place spot.
Round Six set up the cards for a final showdown, with Legless in the lead, followed by Cool Boys and Bad News.
Round Seven ended up being the deciding round, with no needs for tie-breakers or moderators. The top spot won by a SINGLE POINT!
Our winners were decisive, humble, and model-attractive.
Legless Hippos, Three Cool Boys, and Frugs.
