90S MOVIES THEMED EVENT AT IDLE HOUR RECAP

Wed Aug 30 2023
| by Quizmaster Adam Korenman |

Now that's what I call 90's trivia! 16 teams arrived at our hallowed arena for seven rounds of the most intense question and answer game this side of the Berlin Wall. With major prizes on the line (and some sweet jams courtesy of DJ Pandora) we got right down to quizness. 

While this was an excellent battle of wits between some amazing teams, it was also a display of dominance by one group in particular: 🎶Rolling with the Homies 🎶

While they took a moment to establish themselves on the leaderboard, once in the top spot they never let off the gas. It was...well, much like the movie Speed. If their score dropped below first place...they would SPLODE!

Meanwhile, in second and third, the infamous Guardians of Trivia and Film Academy battled back and forth for the silver medal. 

For our Drinking Round, we played a little "Don't Forget the Lyrics" with Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit." We knocked out the entire board on the VERY FIRST WORD...except for our winners, Poops I Did It Again. 

Come on down to Idle Hour every Tuesday for more trivia action.

Can't stop won't stop with this insane trivia show! Idle Hour in NoHo is THE place to go for King Trivia, and our second-to-last show in August was no exception. 30 teams, nearly 150 players, and enough cold drinks to keep the latest heat wave at bay. It was time for an epic throwdown. 

Round for Round, this was a showcase by returning champions Quzzie McGuire and Algorithm & Blues. Our veterans champs went back and forth on points, trading doubles and disasters as they raced to the top of the leaderboard. Not to be outdone, The Bugle stay on their heels the entire time, searching for an opening into the golden throne. 

For our Drinking Round, we celebrated Chop Suey day with a "Don't Forget the Lyrics" round of...System of a Down's Chop Suey! Newbie team Yam Time for Yonzos took those free shots home with an outstanding performance. 

As the evening drew to a close, we crowned our champions: Quizzie McGuire, Algorithm & Blues, and The Bugle!

QUIZ RECAP

It was a battle of wills at Idle Hour this past Tuesday as Destiny and Determination locked horns in a wild and furious clash of quizzical supremacy. With 32 teams vying for the top spot, and veterans and newbies evenly matched, it was bound to be a showstopper. 

In our early rounds, Furious Jumpers made a furious showing as they took and early lead and secured their spot with expertly executed doubles and a strategic feint in the fifth. They wanted that win…but they weren’t the only ones. 

Birthday Barbie, a new group with an unquenchable thirst for victory, charged into the fray with wild abandon. They grew neck and neck with our veteran winners. 

During our drinking round, we asked our teams to come up with pick up lines utilizing non-traditional dairy products. 720 of Emotions took the win, though we are unable to reprint it here…as this is a family show. 

As the rounds ended the show drew to a close, it came down to the final round to find our winner. While Furious Jumpers and Birthday Barbie put up amazing numbers, it was Trivia Rodrigo coming in with a clutch double right a the end to seal their victory.
