- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
It’s 2022, new year and a new you! Of course, any version of you should have come down to Idle Hour at 8pm for an amazing round of King Trivia! We had 18 teams in the gridiron with money money on their minds and a lust of lists…of questions.
Veterans and newbies rubbed elbows in a packed (outdoor and safely spaced) house of quiz. With QM Adam and DJ Pandora rocking the mic, you knew it was going to be an epic showdown. Snark Squad, back from a huge New Year’s Bash, was itching for a win, and they had the trivial knowledge to prove it. Meanwhile, a rowdy group of newcomers named the Yellow Wine Club dove into the game with a fervor!
We went 5 rounds with a locked board, as most teams threw down doubles like it was V-Day after the war. A 5-way tie wouldn't do, so these teams started talking smack and building rivalries. It was enough to make a grown QM tear op.
Veteran team Bean Brigade locked down the Drinking Round, earning them free drinks that, sadly, would be their consolation prize in the game.
After a heated final half, it all came down to Round 7. Though a technical glitch nearly flipepd the scores, we managed to put the pieces together so the right parties walked away with their winnings. Third place was the always excellent Snark Squad, second went to We're the Hecking Best, and first was our newcomers Yellow Wine Club!
You don't want to miss the 2022 season of King Trivia, so come on down to Idle Hour every Tuesday night!

It's that magical time of year between Christmas and New Years, and that can only mean one thing: It's time for THE BEST TRIVIA IN TOWN. That's right, it's Tuesday at Idle Hour and we've got trivia to go around!
14 teams braved the brisk weather to grab some delightful donuts, some tasty tostadas, and big ol' burgers...as well as they're favorite brand of pub-style quizzing...King Trivia. QM Adam was in the house with his usual musical accompainment, DJ Pandora. The stage was set for an epic showdown, and boy did we get one.
While a few teams arrived late, and a few had to leave early, we still had veteran and newbie teams battling to the death for a share of that coveted leaderboard. Quizness Time and Agents of the Zeitgeist set up in their usual spots, quiz apps at the ready, with their eyes on the prize. Meanwhile, Winnaz and Shades of Green joined on a whim and quickly found themselves battling for supremacy.
In our Drinking Round, we asked how many triangles made up the famous ball of lights for Time Square's NYE celebration. Shades of Green took their drinks by a mile, and that influx of carbs and sugar was just what they needed.
As we rounded in the final few...er, rounds, Aleing Failures hit a spot of luck. World-wise travelers, they knew all the monetary denominations and doubled for a sudden rise into 4th place. Meanwhile, Shades of Green climbed within striking distance of the top spot. It was all down to the final question!
As it turned out, not many knew the full list of soap operas for the final round, but enough were guessed to shift our teams into their final spots. Zeitgeist took the crown, with Shades of Green and Aleing Failures below. What a way to end the year.
2021 has been full of ups, downs, and new challenges. We hope that these excursions into a world of questions and answers has provided some salve and enjoyment, and we can't wait to do it all over again in 2022.
Stay safe, stay strong, and we'll see you next year!
