STAR WARS THEMED EVENT AT IDLE HOUR RECAP

There are few fights in the galaxy more worthy than the battle to defeat cancer, and that brought our heroes together at Idle Hour for a special May the 4th Star Wars spectacular! 

It is a period of trivial war.

Noho natives, striking

from a barrel-shaped base, have won

their first victory against

the evil Cancer Empire.

During the battle, drunken

Revelers managed to raise untold

Funds to combat the Empire's

ultimate weapon, Cancer, an armored space

station with enough power to

destroy an entire body.

Pursued by the Empire's

sinister cells, Princess

Idle Hour races home aboard her

starship, custodian of the

stolen plans that can save

her people and restore

Health to the galaxy....

11 teams rallied together to fight the good fight, but also battle for some of the coolest prizes ever offered at a King Trivia show. With such a good cause to rally around, it was bound to be a crazy night. 

Our first few rounds went to Thala-Siren Milkers as they dominated the early game, despite rarely throwing down a double. After Guess Who, however, they were set aside for the tied pairing of The Voice Boyz and Obiwannawin!

We took a break from the regularly scheduled trivia for a quick Drinking Round, asking how many Alderaanians survived the destruction of their planet. With a close win, Boba T. Fett took the free shots (and the jealous glares of the losing teams). 

Thala’s lead could only hold so long, and after Round 5 we had a new leader in The Voice Boyz (our only non-Star Wars themed team). Sith Happens also shot up to third place, using the power of their hatred to fuel their knowledge!

Round 6 saw another shuffle as Thala took the lead and Phoenix Squadron jumped into third. It was going to be a Duel of Fates to see who took this one home. 

Our final round was a Battle of Heroes, a saber-on-saber/Jedi.v.Sith event. After 10 minutes, only three could walk away with the incredible prizes, and they truly earned it. In first place were the Voice Boyz, followed by Thala-Siren Milkers and Sith Happens!

QUIZ RECAP

Another wild and mild May evening as 22 teams joined together in a battle of wits, an assault of knowledge, and a beatdown of the quizasterous variety. That’s right; Idle Hour had King Trivia for a big ol’ show! As we slid into a Star Wars themed week of shenanigans, this was the last chance for the average team to stand up with their average trivial knowledge. But who would emerge victorious? Only one way to find out. 

Things started off slow and steady, with no teams willing to risk the double in Round 1. Clap If You Support Women’s Rights and Libra Moon took the early tie, but the rest of the crowd was quick to chase the lead. 

By Round Three, The Bad News Care Bears stepped up to secure the lead, followed closely by Women’s Rights. With few doubles coming down the pipeline, it seemed like we were in for a ground and pound show. Then, in Round 4, Libra Moon and Women’s Rights stepped back into the top spot. It was a bloody war!

In our Drinking Round, as part of Teacher’s Appreciation Day, we asked our teams when the music video for Hot for Teacher first debuted. With an astoundingly close guess, Libra Moon took the free shots and hoped for a huge victory to follow. 

Returning to the game, Round 5 saw Women’s Rights leap to the top of the pile, with Libra Moon and Bad News following right behind. It was bound to be another close call, but Round 6 shook things up once again!

While Women’s Rights held the top spot, the following ten teams were within spitting distance, only points away from stealing first place. It was going to come down to the final sprint to the finish!

After a nail-biting tie break, we saw our champions emerge. Clap If You Support Women’s Rights took first, Bad News Care Bears took second, and Quizly Bears knocked out third. Quizteama Aguilera, also winner of best name of the night, took our special 4th place mug. 

Come on down to Idle Hour every Tuesday at 8pm for more Trivia action.
