QUIZ RECAP

A gorgeous Fall evening here in NoHo. The weather was perfect, the crowd was energized, but our futuristic app? Not so much! Never fear, however, as these teams (and this intrepid QM) are never afraid of a little adversity. 

27 groups joined us in the barrel-shaped battlefield to test their knowledge and win prizes. It was a fight for honor, a fight for glory, and a fight for…some gift cards to Idle Hour!

In the opening rounds of the game, Kimpossible Burgers took an early lead and managed to hold out for four rounds, fending off would be leaders by a single point. 

During our well earned break in the Drinking Round, we asked our teams to discern when the first working refrigerator was invented. With a quick tie-breaker, The Ham Game took the free shots (and a little bit of knew knowledge) back to their table. 

Round Five through everything out the window, as Snark Squad and Kingbeez locked into a tie for first and pushed everyone else back by several points. But all that would change when KB dropped back to fourth and Yes Chef leapt into third, with Tequila Tots angling for an upset. 

Finally, we reached Round Seven. Snark Squad’s uncanny knowledge of Broadway kept them in the top spot, but Kingbeez and Yes Chef had to battle out a tie-breaker for the final seats. 

In the end, we crowned our champions and enjoyed a well-earned glass of water, the perfect end to another incredible trivia show.

QUIZ RECAP

The storms raged and torrents of rain fell upon the unprepared denizens of North Hollywood. Seeking shelter from the sudden downpour, throngs of soaked city dwellers descended into a barrel-shaped paradise called Idle Hour, seeking warmth and nourishment. What they found was…KING TRIVIA! 

11 teams braved the weather to test their mettle against the gridiron of guessing, the quest of quizzes, the KING of TRIVIA. 

Round One helped our teams shake off the rain and warm up with some easy, over the plate questions. Four teams held the lead with perfect scores, but their domination could last only so long. 

In Round Two, Rise of the Quizantine Empire took a single point lead over the pack, followed by a tense tie between Long Hair Don’t Care and Needy Boyfriends. 

Round Three was slim pickings as our intrepid teams weren’t as well versed in 1930s boxing or Selective Service expiration dates. Still, with the teams not moving much on the boards, it only fueled more fire for the future of the contest. 

Round Four was easy for Shonda-heads. This meant that, aside from Let’s Get Quizzical joining the tie at 2nd, the scoreboard hardly shifted. It was a tight game and only getting tighter!

For our Drinking Round, we celebrated National S.T.E.M. Day by asking for amazing science facts from our teams. With a mind blowing (and haunting) fact, Let’s Get Quizzical won free shots!

Round Five took our champions from the warm halls of Idle Hour all the way to the moon and back! With some careful thinking and reckless doubles, Needy Boyfriends took the lead!

In Round Six, we were looking for famous people and their famous mothers, like you do. A few teams followed the E network pretty close, so this was practically no work at all. With a major double, Hooligans tied Needy Boyfriends in first, while Long Hair Don’t Care jumped into second!

The final round was a mixed bag for our assembled teams, as they argued about which characters could possibly have taken the lead for most popular new Halloween costumes. In the end, we crowned three amazing winners:

Needy Boyfriends, The Hooligans, and Long Hair Don’t Care!

QUIZ RECAP

The night after Halloween is always tricky. You’re tired from an epic party the evening before, you still have leftover makeup in the corners of your face, and your blood is still 90% sugar. Sounds like the perfect time for a little KING TRIVIA if you asked me!

22 teams wore their Tuesday best for the greatest show in all of NoHo. With seven rounds of intense trivia staring down at them like an angry boulder, they set out to prove they were the best in the land. 

Round One was tougher than many were expecting, which led them to hold back on a double even though over ten teams had perfect scores. The four brave teams jumping to the lead were The Hooligans, Algorithm & Blues, Shrub, and Boats n Goats.

Round Two put our teams’ sleuthing skills to the test as they tried to guess the names of famous spokespeople. While most of the guesses were successful, only Algorithm & Blues had the nerve to double and they took a massive jump to the top of the board. 

Rounds Three and Four saw Algorithm hold their lead, but Kingbeez and Quiz Kid Donnie Smith rocketed to a tie at second and third moments later! It was shaping up to be a tighter game than any had predicted. 

For our Drinking Round, we celebrated National Author Day and had our teams give us 6-word stories Ala Hemingway. You can read them all below!

Warning. Low flying Owl. Lost Chihuahua. 

Worst of Tim has no Tim.

The last human. The door knocked. 

I woke up and chose violence. 

They came, they saw, they conquered (they plagiarized).

Trivia King chooses guitar losers team (a bit inside baseball)

Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t…

They came, they guessed, they won. 

What is the point of today (existentially terrifying!)

Our winners, The Bugle, also had to break a tie by guessing the correct date from National Author’s Day, securing their free shots. 

Round Five saw Quiz Kid Donnie Smith edge closer and closer to that top spot. It was growing into a slugfest!

Round Six was the great shakeup, as Hot Diggity Dog came out of nowhere to leap into first place, only one point away from Algorithm & Blues and just a few above Quiz Kid. Kingbeez slipped into fourth and needed a massive boost to get back into it. 

Our final round was all about Tarantino, and there were a few fans in the house! Numerous teams got perfect scores…but only a few were brave enough to double. 

Our winners were Hot Diggity Dog, Quiz Kid Donnie Smith, and Algorithm & Blues!
