It was a packed house and an eager crowd this Tuesday night as 18 teams arrived at Idle Hour for the best show in town: King Trivia. There's no business like, oh, quizness...and we were eager to throw down. 

As per usual, the first few rounds were a chance to shake loose the cobwebs and get newbies introduced to how we get quizzy with it. By the end of Round 4, the scores were starting to sort themselves into a more manageable line, with Snark Squad sneaking an early lead. 

The Drinking Round was tough, as most of these folk didn't know that Winnie the Pooh was the only Latin book (translated) to make the NYT bestsellers list. Fortunately, a little more trivia about the world's favorite stuffed-with-fluff bear lead to It's Quizness Time earning a free round. 

As we launched into the final half of the show, Agents of the Zeitgeist battled an early deficit to rise toward the leader board. Meanwhile, My Little Pony Express stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the top teams, hoping for a clean win. 

As it often does, the show came down to the final question. Some youngsters didn't quite know all the ingredients in a Big Mac, but that's okay. They still put on a good show and earned a hefty load of points. 

In the end, High Tops took the grand prize, with Snark Squad and Agents of the Zeitgeist rounding out our leaders. 

You can't miss another night of King Trivia, so get on down to Idle Hour every Tuesday at 8pm!

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!
