QUIZ RECAP
G’mar chatima tova! It’s Erev Yom Kippur, a time of atonement and judgement…and apparently TRIVIA! That’s right, Idle Hour was popping off as teams descended on our barrel-shaped temple to pay homage to the lord of lessons…King Trivia.
20 teams arrived hungry for knowledge (and perhaps some of Idle Hour’s famous burgers) and the game soon began. With a light breeze breaking the “Fall” heat, the stage was set for an epic showdown.
Round One was a shocker as only one team managed to snag all the answers and drop a double. Kingbeez started the show with a big lead, followed by Emergency Food: Monsters Unleashed.
Round Two had our heroes searching through their memory banks for famous monsters. This was a little easier, maybe to lull our teams into a false sense of security. This led to a leaderboard shake up as Emergency Food took the top spot and a quartet of teams leapt ahead of Kingbeez!
Round Three focused on a collection of crimsons, and our teams did not disappoint in their ferocious answers. In another shock to the system, Mighty Mighty Puffins took over the first place position while Emergency Food and Set locked into a tie behind them. This leaderboard persisted through Round Four as well as too few teams knew the villain of Theranos (but had it been Thanos, they would have been all over it).
For our drinking round, we celebrated National Cinnamon Bun Day by counting our calories. Emergency Food, with an impressive guess, earned the free shots and perhaps a little cinnamon treat of their own.
Round Five had our champions thinking about money, but would that be too much of a distraction for them to stay on track? Puffins maintained their lead, followed by the rising tides of Hulk Hogan’s Pastamania and North X North East Coast!
Round Six kept things pretty simple for our teams as scores tightened and anxiety flared. Something Punny exercised their 1st amendment right to knocked North X out of third and took over the spot, leading to a bitter rivalry that would fuel the fires of the final round.
In Round Seven, we asked our contestants to think about Britney, B***h. It was a musical malady that pushed their brains to the limit. It was going to be a photo finish to crown the winners!
As the dust cleared, we crowned our champions: Mighty Mighty Puffins, Hulk Hogan’s Pastamania, and (in a surprise return) Emergency Food: Monsters Unleashed.

QUIZ RECAP
As the heat returned to the Valley, so did America’s favorite trivia show. That’s right, loyal readers, this barrel-shaped paradise was once again hopping with quizzical questers and champions of challenges. It’s King Trivia at Idle Hour!
25 teams packed the house to show their support for local bars, delicious food, and flop-sweating quizmasters. With three prizes and a bucket of candy in hand, the show began with aplomb.
Round One ended in our normal tie, but with nearly a third of the teams represented! It was an opening bout that would set the tone for a bout of legendary proportions. We’re talking Rumble in the Jungle. We’re talking Vader versus Luke. We’re talking King Trivia, baby.
Rond Two whittled down the competition slightly, but still held a 4-strong tie at the top: Daisy’a Dukes, The Rise of the Quizantine Empire, Win or Booze, and Seriously Silly Goose.
Round Three and four split the top teams into two groups, with Daisy and Goose taking the top spots and Empire and Booze falling behind.
Our drinking round challenged the teams to discern in what year human beings could possibly have enjoyed a glass of chocolate milk (as we were celebrating National Chocolate the Milk Day). With the closest guess by far, 720 of Emotions took the free shots!
Round Five turned out to be a bit of a stumper, but our intrepid heroes weren’t about to let a little adversity get in between them and the amazing prizes on offer. With a bit of gumption and more than a little guesswork, they persevered. We had a first, as we exited Found Five with more leaders than we arrived: Daisy’a Dukes, The Rise of the Quizantine Empire, Win or Booze, Seriously Silly Goose. and Tequila Tots!
Round Six was a fairly easy bit of US geography (at according to some). After only a few minutes of play, we managed to separate our leaderboard. Seriously Silly Goose managed to take over the top spot, tied with newbies Little Buff Bois!
As the final seconds drained from the hourglass, we called an end to our competition. Round Seven caused both elation and anxiety, but proved a worthy sorting mechanism for our leaders. Still…a TIEBREAKER WAS DEMANDED!
Our final winners were Little Buff Bois, Seriously Silly Goose, and Daisy’a Dukes!

QUIZ RECAP
With the heat fading and Fall in the air, it seemed like the perfect weather for a trivia storm fo the century! Ring the bell, Quizimodo, it’s time for more King Trivia out at Idle Hour in NoHo!
28 teams joined in battle for the coveted gift cards and free shots, braving the 101 and 405 to arrive into our gridiron. Fueled by the return of the Candy Bucket™, these champions set out to prove their parents wrong and win a pub trivia game!
Round One of course brought a massive tie as these veteran question questers knocked out those easy lay-ups without breaking a sweat. Round Two proved a little more difficult, as apparently few of our teams knew the names of even our most famous Bewitched stars. Yet with this simple round, our leaderboard was forever rent into pieces. Born in the USGay took first place, with Algorithm and Blues close behind in a race to the top.
Round Three presented a Seussian challenge to our heroes, but they charged forward undeterred. With an easier round, the scores moved up but the teams didn’t We’d have to settle our difference down the road with more questions!
Round Four revealed which teams hadn’t done the summer reading, but again didn’t move the dial on the leaderboard! Who was going to unseat the top point hoarders?
As it was National Bald People Appreciation Day (and this QM is a proud follicularly-opposed host) we invited our teams to play a game of “Best Pickup Lines.” With the amazing Carol guest judging, we awarded the free shots (and a hearty slap across the face for being so fresh) to Hooligans!
The winning pickup line? “I know I look like Mr. Clean, but I’m also Mr. Right.”
Round Five went fast and furious, but your couldn’t slip these clues past our quick-witted challengers. In an astounding turn of events, a misplaced double knocked our leader down to 4th place, allowing Algorithm and Blues to leap into first! Not a Car Chase was a point behind in second, and Hooligans nipped at their heels in third.
Round Six kept the points flowing but also kept out teams locked in their respective spots. It was up to the final ten questions to separate the winners from the losers. WHO WOULD IT BE?
As the smoke cleared, we crowned our winners: Algorithm and Blues, Not a Car Chase, and Kingbeez (rising from the ashes in amazing fashion).
