QUIZ RECAP

This one was one for the record books, folks. Idle Hour is known for its great food and beverages, but tonight we saw KT history in the making. 22 teams packed the house at every angle, crammed in tight so they could each fight for a piece of that sweet quiz-licious pie. It was a down and out rumble, and this QM was only too ready to begin. 

With so many teams, there was of course the usual jockeying for top position...yet surprisingly little trash talk. Players were packed so tight together that, on at least one occasion, and overly excited exclamation of the correct answer spread like wildfire from table to table. 

By the midway point, we were looking at a stacked leaderboard. It was time for a quick break for the drinking round. The QM asked about the length of the Canadian coastline. While guesses were mostly wild and innaccurate, one team took an amazingly accurate shot in the dark. While still off by a few thousand kilometers, they were far and away the closest and won free shots for the table. 

When it came down to Round 7, the first place spot was all but secured. Newbies had doubled nearly every round, and it was a powerful performance to say the least. But the leaderboard was far from spoken for. It was anyone's guess who would come out on top. 

As it turns out, three teams wanted it, and we had a tie-breaker round to decide Third Place. With a decent guess, Fartin Van Buren took their place in trivia history. 

Idle Hour puts on a great show every Tuesday night at 8PM. Come and join us, but bring your A game. The locals play for keeps. 

QUIZ RECAP

You can't ask for a better trivia showdown than we bring every Tuesday at Idle Hour. The Big Ol' Barrel was a rocking this night as 12 teams arrived with hunger in their eyes and trivial knowledge in their brains. All that remained was for one Quiz Master to lead them on this journey. 

Things got off to an exciting start as three teams hit a double off the first round! With blood in the water, these Tuesday Night Troublemakers opened up the floodgates. All bets were off as—round after round—teams swapped the top seat like it was a game of musical chairs. 

It was anyone's game as we entered the Drinking Round. New York Touch had the closest guess, earning some free shots courtesy of our gracious venue. 

As we went into the finale, six teams had equal share of points and chance of taking the win. As Round 7 came to a close, every team held their breath to see if they had secured a victory. 

While the Brojans and New York Touch delivered powerhouse performances, it was the elite team of Trey Dongz clinching the big win tonight.

QUIZ RECAP

The Chaos Gem was in effect at Idle Hour! Technical difficulties, crashed systems, and 10 teams all vying for the top spot amidst all the turmoil. Fortunately, it wasn't this QM's first rodeo, and the show must always go on. 

Things started slow in the first few rounds as timid newcomers discovered their trivia knowledge, but didn't yet trust themselves enough to double down. That changed in round 5 as each and every team discovered a well of courage sitting somewhere at the bottom of their third and fourth drinks. 

That's when good ol' Murphy arrived, as we had a sudden shutdown of the online system! With teams struggling to find their answers, this QM rushed into action...and called a 5 minute technical timeout. Thankfully, we had pens and paper enough to catch everyone one, and scores were checked and double checked to make sure they went in the right direciton. By round 6, all systems were a go and we were back in action. 

By this point, the top spot had shifted four times over. It was anyone's game. And then came round 6...the DOUBLE DOWN heard 'round the world. 

Readers, believe me when I say...Every. Single. Team. Doubled. 

But one missed a question!

With the leaderboard shook once again, we went into Round 7 to sort out the winners from the whiners. It turned out that Dr. Spaceman was a bit savvier when it comes to British pop bands, and they secured their win by a scant 2 points. 

It was an EPIC throwdown, with some bobbing and weaving as only King Trivia knows how. If you're in NoHo on Tuesday, come on down to Idle Hour for the best trivia this side of the Mississip*!
