QUIZ RECAP

Happy Fat Tuesday, peasants of the trivia kingdom! The crowds were out in force for some brilliant revelry, but they didn’t want colorful cakes or fancy beads. They wanted KING TRIVIA!

28 teams assembled in our NoHo paradise to battle in the most sophisticated of ways: With cold beers, delicious burgers, and a near-manic host. 

Round One was an easy warm-up, allowing some newbie teams to flex their creative muscles. We of course ended with a massive ten-way tie, but this wasn’t bound to be a normal day at the racetrack. 

Round Two was a boon for followers of that shady foot-based website, as we asked our teams to analyze pictures of famous feet (in shoes, calm down). Quiz Kid Donnie Smith jumped into an early lead, followed closely by Murder Hornets.

Round Three was filled with sax and violins, but no change to our top spots. Third place, however, whittled down to just two: Sugundies and Move Over Jay-Z, it’s Gay-Z.

Round Four again didn’t move the needle much, but Sugundies was able to secure the third spot all alone. Perhaps a nice drinking round and some fancy beads could give this show the shake up it craved.

Our Drinking Round had our teams showing off their best costumes, masks, and bead pics (SFW only). Girls Trip absolutely crushed the competition by dressing up AS the AMC Burbank and Nicole Kidman. Heartbreak truly felt good in a place like this.

We also awarded our final QM Valentine to Heat Lamp for what has to be the saddest Valentine’s Day story we’ve ever heard. It’s the sort of thing a country music star would write a hit song about. The music video would feature keyed cars and probably an exploded RV.

Round Five was a real shock as Downtown Sasquatch snatched the lead away from Quiz Kid, followed by Curse the Gods and Montana in a tied second.

Round Six was another shocker as Curse the Gods and Montana took first place with a tie. Who would finally win the lead!

Round Seven asked the most important question of all: in an age of streaming EVERYTHING, who’s still going to libraries? (The answer? Smart people. Go support your local library). 

We finally crowned our winners after a photo finish. Montana, Curse the Gods, and Bean Bag!

Valentine’s Day is for the lovers, but tonight it became a battlefield for the precocious paramours of questions and answers. That’s right, the monarch of mystery descended on Idle Hour for a special Love Day evening of KING TRIVIA!

25 teams gathered in couples, thruples, and groups so numerous they begot new terms of polyamory. Each arrived with only one goal in mind: Total Victory!

Round One warmed up their quizzical muscles with some easy questions (although we all learned something about the proper Greek name for Cupid). A massive tie left many wondering who could rise to the top of this trivia triangle. 

Round Two was a boon for our celebrity-aware crowd. However, no one was keen to drop another double, so we ended with a three-way tie: Ladies Who Lunch, It was the best of times, it was the worst of Tim, and Drunk in Public!

Round Three had us all singing “Baby Shark” (much to the chagrin of the staff). Best of Tim took the early lead and hoped to hold out through the rest of the show. 

Round Four seemed to be a gift to our Philosophy majors in the house, as Hooligans snuck in to grab the title away from Tim. 

For Valentine’s Day, we asked our teams to express a little self love and give us the best pickup line they would use…on themselves. Emergency Food delivered perhaps the strangest combination of confidence and prop work with, “What’s your sign? I’m a spicies.” And then they handed me a  cup of tobacco sauce. 

For our Drinking Round, we asked our teams which English poet is credited with inventing Valentine’s Day. English majors The Weiners had the answer in their back pocket and took the free shots!

Round Five had our teams stretching into position as they tried to find the connection between some rather odd answers. Best of Tim jumped back into the lead, with Drunk in Public only a point behind. 

Round Six proved that our teams watch a little too much celebrity gossip, but it meant that our leader board remained unchanged going into the final showdown. 

Round Seven proved one thing more than anything else: Some of our players are too young to know America’s sweetheart, Meg Ryan. They were throwing out movies that features any blonde actress. However, a few managed to eke out a point in the end. 

As the dust settled, we crowned our Valentine’s Day winners: Drunk in Public, It was the best of times, it was the worst of Tim, and The Hooligans!

There’s only a week left before Valentine’s Day, which means you’d better get to shopping! There are flowers to buy, reservations to be made, and boxes upon boxes of chocolates to stack high upon your paramour’s doorstep. Of course, none of that mattered to the throngs of trivia titans descending on Idle Hour this Tuesday night. They craved a different kind of romance. They desired…KING TRIVIA!

29 teams arrived fresh and ready for an epic show, and they brought their talent and 

Round One was a challenge for many of our less chemically minded folks, but still ended with a 6-way tie at the top of the board. These teams were feeling the competitive energy and seemed ready for anything. 

Round Two was all about the clock app, which threw some of our less-online teams for a loop. Fortunately, these celebrities had jumped into the mainstream, helping Geralt of Trivia jump into the lead!

Round Three had our teams grabbing gnarly waves and landscaping shaves. Geralt kept their lead, but Live, Laugh, Love took a chance to close to striking distance.

Round Four was a big win for fans of The Crown. Live, Laugh, Love took a step into first, and Morella Panthers climbed into second. 

For our Valentine’s Day Round, we asked for the best (worst) puns for a holiday card. Kingbeez brought some old school wordplay (and some quality artwork) to take the win. 

In the Drinking Round, we celebrated National Period Table Day with a question about oxides. While each team did their best to remember 5th grade chemistry, Live, Laugh, Love took the win and the free shots!

Round Five pushed our teams to think outside the box to find connections between some zany answers. Live, Laugh, Love kept their lead, but Panthers and Geralt tied in second with only a couple points keeping them from the top.

Rounds Six and Seven proved the biggest shockers of all. Doubles arrived with wild abandon, allowing some teams to rise while others fell. It was basically the first few seasons of Game of Thrones, with epic heroes battling for a single spot!

As the dust settled, we crowned our new champions: Geralt of Trivia, Ducks Unlimited, and Downtown Sasquatch!
