QUIZ RECAP

There are few things as exciting as trivia night at Idle Hour. Perhaps skydiving while juggling chainsaws alongside angry bears, but you can't always do that on a Tuesday night! The room rumbled with energy as this Quizmaster approached the table, laptop in hand, ready to bare witness to questionable greatness. 

The show began slowly, with single-digit scores and no risk takers. It was as if the Double or Nothing didn't exist! Would this prove to be a low scoring night for our heroic Idle Hour crew? 

Oh no, reader. That was just Round One jitters. The points hit the proverbial fan just a few minutes later. 

With a thunderous double down, Party Time entered the arena a round late—but without any fear. The other competitors sensed a shift in the wind, and soon every team took swing after epic swing, trying to max out their scores whenever possible. 

While we did hit a bit of a slow patch with Round 4 (guess who is always a gamble), the Drinking Round reinvigorated our trivia titans. 

Since today was National Beer Day, we asked the teams to guess the highest ABV of Snake Venom, the most potent beer in the world. While many were close, Otrivia Rodrigo took the shots with style. The answer, for any curious travelers, is a terrifying 67.5%. 

Once we hit Round 5, our leader for the night cemented their position. Locking in with a ten point lead, it didn't seem possible to catch up...but no one told Trivia Newton John. 

In Round Six, with all the cards on the table, teams went for broke and double down like there was no tomorrow. For a few, it was the nail in the coffin. For others, the boost they needed to get within striking distance of the leaderboard. 

Finally, our Zillow question, a list to end all lists. Party time played it safe and secured an easy win with 73. It would take a mighty double to bring Trivia Newton John over the top, but they felt Snark Squad nipping at their heels. Rather than risk defeat, they took the second spot and the prize. 

If you missed this incredible night, fret not! We throw down the trivia gauntlet every Tuesday night at 8PM!

Intensity mounted, ties came and went, and by the end we were all sweating. Thanks to the five thousand people that attended and the wonderful accommodations of Idle Hour! 

We enjoyed a robust drinking round with incredible artistic renderings of the number 21, and what it meant to the players. (Inspired by this Tweet https://twitter.com/dantep__/status/1440183960508637185 and musings on the number 21).

Thanks for playing!! 

QUIZ RECAP

Oh, dear friends. Tuesday night was one for the record books. The stars aligned, the heavens merged, and we have a fully formed QUIZNADO at Idle Hour! As this QM entered the arena, I was greeted by the roar of the crowd. I'm not lapsing into hyperbole when I tell you that EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN IDLE HOUR CAME FOR TRIVIA!

30 teams gathered inside the big ol' barrel for what would become an epic throwdown. This was set to be the largest gathering of quiz-o-philes this side of a Jeapordy reunion tour. The energy was downright electric, and that's not just because the QM may or may not have touched a live wire when setting up for the show. 

With so many teams, things started off in a dead heat. A four-way tie of double-down-dominators, each ready to slug it out for the crown, lead things off in Round One. By the third round, we had three separate ties owning the leader board, with ten teams represented! CLOWNFISH TV had no fear throwing out wild guesses, yet they kept hitting big and keeping the lead!

General Washingtons, old vets of Idle Hours' trivia showcase, climbed up the leaderboard bit by bit, hoping to bring home a big win for friends that couldn't make it. Meanwhile, Come Pet Our Dogs and Two Crows cleared away from the pack and set their sights on the top spot. By the end of Round 4, it was anyone's game. 

For the Drinking Round, we had a Fast Finger Google Fest. The teams had to answer a question about the Los Angeles Zoo Commission (trust us, it was epic), and Pussy Galore took the free shots! However, it seems those drinks went right to their head and not to their scoreboard!

As we entered the final round, the top teams were only points apart. Anyone had a chance to win, and it was a fight for every single answer in the final round. 

Of course, a night like this can't end with an easy three. We had a THREE-WAY TIE for 2nd and 3rd. The three teams went into the tie-breaker with Price is Right rules...and we finally had our leaderboard!

Huge kudos to Hope This Email Finds You Well for taking the top spot, but an excellent job by CLOWNFISH and Two Crows for making the grade and winning an excellent pay day. 

EVERY team deserves a huge round of applause after that intense showdown. And YOU should join us next time. In fact, join us EVERY time; Every Tuesday at 8PM, only at Idle Hour!
