QUIZ RECAP

Good gravy, what an insane night for King Trivia! 30 teams (no, that's not a typo) showed up to throw down the only way we know how. With seven rounds of trivia and plenty of prizes up for grabs, the game was most defintely afoot. 

After a few rounds of warm up, we actually had a distinct leader in the top position. Still, twenty-nine other groups weren't about to let anyone walk away with the show. By the time the Drinking Round approached, several bitter rivalries had formed. 

Since Groundhog Day was fast approaching, we asked how many days Bill Murray's character was stuck in his time loop (it's longer than you think). With the winner enjoying some well earned drinks, we dove right into the final stretch. 

Kingbeez, no stranger to the top spot, kept batting away Crouching Tiger and Quiz Kids. Meanwhile, Diana Spencer refused to be counted out, throwing down a much-needed double in Round Six. As it usual does, the show came down to the final question.

Since today begins the Year of the Tiger, we asked our teams to name 10 of 12 of the animals on the Chinese Zodiac. Many were able to hit the mark, but only a few were brave enough to double. 

In the end, Diana Spencer's Gifts took the top spot, with Crouching Tiger, Quizzing Dragon and Quiz Kid Donnie Smith right behind. 

You honestly have no excuse to miss out on King Trivia at Idle Hour. This is the best spot in the Valley, the only place to go in NoHo. Come join us any Tuesday at 8pm!

QUIZ RECAP

Another stellar night at Idle Hour! This was one for the record books, with 25 teams bringing their trivia knowledge into the gridiron for seven rounds of quiztastic action. While we had some controversy, some harsh words, and maybe even a spilled drink or two, we also had a great game with some passionate and wonderful teams. 

Basically, if you weren't there, you done messed up. 

As per usual, the early rounds allowed our newer teams time to stretch their legs and get to work. Veteran groups dropped doubles like it was nothing, leading to a pretty stark score split by the time we reached the Drinking Round. League legends the High Tops came to play, and they were giving everyone some serious competition. 

Since it was National Irish Cream Coffee Day, our Drinking Round asked the teams what year was the famous drink first served (officially) in the US. The answer (1952) led to a tie-breaker showdown where the Witches of HWood earned free shots for their table!

 Now in the final stretch, we came upon some controversy! A strangely-worded question threw a few players, leading to a bit of a points curfuffle. Fortunately, this QM was able to do the mental math (and verbal gymnastics) to clarify the scores where they were needed. Still, we had a real race on our hands moving into the final round. 

[Quick note from the QM: While some teams were awarded points after the question was amended, the top six teams for the night were unaffected by the change in points. In the future, we will be a bit stricter on wording, so be prepared! As always, we appreciate your passion greatly.]

Our final round was a real brain twister. Who did Rolling Stones Magazine twice list as the top ten artists in the world? As it turns out, our teams were better at choosing top tier talent than the magazine editors, but that's not how the question was worded. In a suprising upset, Bing Bong Babies rocked that round an catapulted into the lead!

Our final score had Bing Bong Babies on top, High Tops crushing it at second, and His Name Was Robert Paulson in third. 

Join us every Tuesday night at 8PM for more trivia action!

QUIZ RECAP

It was a packed house and an eager crowd this Tuesday night as 18 teams arrived at Idle Hour for the best show in town: King Trivia. There's no business like, oh, quizness...and we were eager to throw down. 

As per usual, the first few rounds were a chance to shake loose the cobwebs and get newbies introduced to how we get quizzy with it. By the end of Round 4, the scores were starting to sort themselves into a more manageable line, with Snark Squad sneaking an early lead. 

The Drinking Round was tough, as most of these folk didn't know that Winnie the Pooh was the only Latin book (translated) to make the NYT bestsellers list. Fortunately, a little more trivia about the world's favorite stuffed-with-fluff bear lead to It's Quizness Time earning a free round. 

As we launched into the final half of the show, Agents of the Zeitgeist battled an early deficit to rise toward the leader board. Meanwhile, My Little Pony Express stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the top teams, hoping for a clean win. 

As it often does, the show came down to the final question. Some youngsters didn't quite know all the ingredients in a Big Mac, but that's okay. They still put on a good show and earned a hefty load of points. 

In the end, High Tops took the grand prize, with Snark Squad and Agents of the Zeitgeist rounding out our leaders. 

You can't miss another night of King Trivia, so get on down to Idle Hour every Tuesday at 8pm!
