QUIZ RECAP

A wild and crazy night at Idle Hour. Standing room only as HUGE parties took up much of the dance floor…and most of the trivia teams. We had 24 groups coming to play, and no one was ready to go home early. It was about to be a throwdown…exactly how we like it. Welcome to King Trivia!

Our teams hit the ground running with a Battle Royale for the top spot. In Rounds 1-4, we swapped leaders with each new score. It was insanity! Who was destined to become our grand champion? 

As today was National Margarita Day, we asked our teams a controversial question: When was the margarita invented? While there are numerous accounts, we went with a commonly accepted year and awarded newcomers 4th Place to free shots! Sure, there was some grumbling, but nothing a few margaritas wouldn’t cure. 

Then came a thunderous Round 5, in which veteran team Agents of the Zeitgeist came roaring from the middle of the pack to the second spot. Nearly ten teams were within spitting distance of victory. As always, it would come down to our final round to decide the victor. 

As the dust settled, we crowned our leaders: Diana Spencer’s Gifts, 4th Place, and Class of ’69.

QUIZ RECAP

The day after Valentine’s Day is always tricky, but not when you’ve got a surefire date with King Trivia. 15 teams came to play at Idle Hour for the best show in town, and we surely didn’t disappoint. With seven rounds of trivia, delicious food, and some top shelf tequila, it was a night few could forget. 

We started off as usual with a MASSIVE tie after round one, but quickly this became a scrum for the top spots. Almost every team got a chance to be in a leader position as round after round became a game of musical chairs. However, Tequila Mockingbird soon earned themselves a lead that seemed insurmountable. 

In our Drinking Round, we asked our teams to decide how many Valentine’s were sent in the mail each year. Newcomers Swedish Soda took the free shots, and it seemed to give them the energy to make a come from behind pull into second place!

As with most evenings, it all came down to the last question. We were sticklers for the Italian spelling for Dante’s Divine Comedy, which led to a rise in our final team. Tequila Mockingbird took the top spot, Swedish Soda Group took second, with Agents of the Zeitgeist in third. 

Don’t miss another amazing date night (or any night) with Idle Hour and King Trivia!

QUIZ RECAP

When we say Idle Hour's King Trivia night is standing room only, we mean it. 28 teams arrived in our barrel-shaped battleground with one thing on their mind: total domination. We literally had teams in every section of the house. This QM's dogs were barking by the end, but it was all worth it. 

The opening rounds proved quite challenging, and soon we had a few teams trading the top spot back and forth for the early half of the show. When we reached the drinking round, it almost seemed like Enough to Feed an Army Hammer might sail away with the prize. 

Since today was National Kite Day, we challenged our teams with guessing the earliest written notice of the famed paper and string toy. High Tops, a veteran group of champions, nailed the estimate on the nose and earned a free round of shots!

As we sprinted toward the finish, the leaderboard became a game of musical chairs. Army Hammer fell from grace as Jason B. Gone and Quiz on Your Face threw out some meaty doubles. However, it was the come from behind spirit of Quiz Kid Donnie Smith that shocked the room!

As the final seconds ticked away, Jason B. Gone squeaked out a victory only a point ahead of Quiz Kid Donnie Smith, with Enough to Feed an Army Hammer locking down third. 

Another amazing night at Idle Hour, and you can make the next one! Join us every Tuesday at 8pm.
