QUIZ RECAP

Twas a nice, cool summer evening as teams gathered in the barrel-shaped bastion of NoHo with one thing in mind: ultimate trivia domination. That’s right, it’s time for more King Trivia!

Nineteen teams joined the fray to test out their trivial knowledge against the best of the best. With the apps served and entrees on the way, it was time to dive into the real show. 

Round One left a monster tie in first and second. Kingbeez, Bad News Care Bears, and Here for the Host took the top spot, with Quiz Kid Donnie Smith, Quiztina Aguilera, and Forrest Gump’s 21st Century Adventure tied below. 

But it only took one more round to set us up for a real contest, as Bad News took first place in Round Two with a clutch double, with Quiztina Aguilera securing the second seat. 

Bad News managed to hold onto their lead throughout Round 4, with Here for the Host sneaking up to second place before the break. Then it was time to celebrate National Cow Appreciation Day! We asked our teams to share photos of them appreciating cows, and Tequila Tots had the best shot of the bunch…so they won free shots!

Round 5 saw Quiztina Aguilera and All Hail the Magic Conch Alooloolooloo rise in the ranks. Bad News still held the high ground, but scores were tightening up in the latter half of the game!

As Round 6 came to a close, it was as tight a game as we’d seen, with Kingbeez and Here for the Host fighting it out for that third place spot. It would all come down to our final cheesy round. 

In a surprise twist, Kingbeez jumped into second, with Quiztina Aguilera locking up third. Bad News Care Bears secured their sweep of the game for a first place finish, and that as all she wrote!

QUIZ RECAP

After a day of polishing off BBQ leftovers, there’s only one way to truly celebrate: King Trivia at Idle Hour in NoHo! Teams from all across the city sojourned to our barrel-shaped oasis for libations, fine eats, and intense quizzical action. 

17 teams joined the fray for a post-food binge trivia sesh, and boy were they ready to get down to quizness. Round 1 saw a calmer, more cautious group of teams, with only Here for the Host and Tater Bots dropping that double. 

In Round 2, Here for the Host jumped to number one, with I’m So Confused and Kingbeez rocking a tie in third. 

In our drinking round, we asked the teams to figure out how many hotdogs were consumed on July 4th, 2020. With a spot on guess, Squadron of Moles took the free shots and earned some new enemies. 

Round 5 brought a fearsome new energy from out competitors. This wasn’t going to be a runaway game for anyone. Tater Bots stepped into the top spot, followed by Squadron of Moles and Kingbeez. In fact, the entire top ten board was off by only a point each!

Kingbeez climbed into second place after Squadron missed on a double, and Diana Spencers Gifts took third, setting up for a major showdown in the final round. Who would take it all?

After an amazing DOUBLE TIE-BREAKER, we crowned our winners. Tater Bots took the top spot, Kingbeez earned second, and Diana Spencer’s Gifts locked in third. Squadron of Moles earned stickers for their near-win!

MARVEL VOL. 1 THEMED EVENT RECAP

Trivia-vengers…ASSEMBLE! It’s an MCU-themed night here at Idle Hour, and we’ve got the best show in town. 17 teams arrived to share their marvelous knowledge, trying to prove that they were incredible, amazing, and the ultimate champions of their universe. 

In round one, two teams landed perfect scores…but only one was brave enough to make the risky play. Agents of the Zeitgeist of Shield took the lead, with Snowflake safely in second. With our nemeses established, it was time to continue the show. 

Round two saw a new age arise as ThirstyForThanos snapped into second place. This was turning into a regular two-parter! Who would take home the might Mjolner?

Round 4 was a little easy as Mjolnir was literally sitting on the table in front of the QM, so we went into he drinking round with a little less fanfare. But teams were asked to decide how many cameos the late great Stan Lee had across all Marvel movies, TV shows, and video games (including outside the MCU). Agents of the Zeitgeist of Shield took the free drinks…and the evil eye of every team in the bar. 

In round five, Snowflame leapt to the top of the pile with a CLUTCH double, taking the lead away from the Agents. It was now a 1 point game!

Round six saw another shakeup as ThirstyForThanos tied Agents for second place, only points behind Snowflame. It would all come down to the final round…but who was worthy to raise the might hammer? Would our heroes arrive in time?

As the dust settled and the villains spread like ashes in the wind, we crowned our victors. After and incredible double tie-breaker, Agents of the Zeitgeist of Shield took first, ThirstyForThanos took second, and Snowflame earned third.
