INDIANA JONES THEMED EVENT AT IDLE HOUR RECAP

This quiz belongs in a museum…fit for KINGS! It’s an Indiana Jones themed trivia at Idle Hour, and 16 teams came out to play for big prizes. 

Round One led to a strong opening start for Top Menu Fortune & Glory, The Short Rounds

Round Two was a tricky bit of globetrotting, but Short Rounds took the lead with a big double. 

Round Three saw Short Rounds extending their lead with some expert knowledge of Indy’s friends and family, but that lead slipped to only a few points come Round Four. It was as tight a half as we’d seen in a while. 

Our Drinking Round asked our heroes to remember the scribes that brought these characters to life (and who were then properly credited). Fortune and Glory took the win and the free drinks. 

Those free shots inspired Fortune and Glory to push themselves to the next level, leaping up to second place with only a few points to spare. 

Round six was a game of quotes, and every team felt confident in their ability to recite the movies by heart. Henchmen sprinted past the competition into a strong third with Top Men now at second!

Round Seven came tumbling down like a giant boulder trap. With only eight correct answers, it would take a big win to unseat the leaders. 

We ended the night with a big win. Short Rounds, Henchmen, and Top Men!

QUIZ RECAP

You’d think a historic heatwave would hold back the crowds from an outdoor trivia show, but you’ve never been to Idle Hour in the summer! 31 teams came out to throw down, drink cool drinks, and win quizzical prices. It’s King Trivia like you’ve never seen it before: wearing shorts because it is frankly too darn warm. 

Round One led to a strong opening start for The Furious Jumpers!, The Bugle, Kingbeez, Joaquin Phreezer, and Drink-182.

Round Two saw the (van) Wild Gators take an early lead, but could this newbie team hold on? Not so much, as they dropped to third in Round Three as Bugle took the top spot. 

Our Drinking Round was a Sommelier testing ground as we asked teams to pair wines with famous cheeses. Stealin my quizz like she gone girl snatched a tie-breaker win for the free shots. 

Round five proved it’s dangerous to quiz alone, so take this…clue. Kingbeez had the video game knowledge to take the lead, with Furious close behind.

Round six went to Furious Jumpers. It was still anyone’s game, with the top ten teams within ten points

It all came down to Round Seven to decide our big winner. With doubles flying and caution thrown to the wind, we tallied the scores. 

We ended the night with a big win. Furious Jumpers, Kingbeez, and Wild Gators!

QUIZ RECAP

Record temperatures and intractable studio execs couldn’t keep the teams away from Idle Hour for another session of the greatest show in all of NoHo…KING TRIVIA! 26 teams braved the sweltering heat to enjoy frozen drinks and…icy thinks? Questions, they came for the questions. 

LET’S GET TO THE SHOW!

Round One was a solid warm up with a 4-way tie at the top: Here for the Host, Bernie Maximus, Buds Lightyear, We’re the problem, it’s us.

Round Two was a massive stumper, with no one risking a double. The points came hard-earned, but Bernie Maximus founds themselves with a small lead. 

Round Three brought things back into true form, with veterans dropping doubles like they were playing hot potato. Bernie extended their lead and looked to be making moves to another sweep. 

Round Four started to shake things up as a cautious play cost Bernie the lead, with We’re the Problem leaping into first. 

Our Drinking Round played the Price is Right with bulk purchases of caviar. With the closest guess by a mile, Kingbeez earned the free shots (and just in time for a birthday!)

Round 5 saw We’re the problem take a massive lead as one of the few teams to put all the pieces together for our Find the Connection. 

But all was not lost for Bernie. With Round Six, they used their combined knowledge of film and television to put a solid double into the scoreboard and close within 6 points of first place. It would all come down to the final round.

We ended the night with a big win. We’re the problem, it’s us, Bernie Maximus, and Antlers Away!
