- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
You can't ask for a better trivia showdown than we bring every Tuesday at Idle Hour. The Big Ol' Barrel was a rocking this night as 12 teams arrived with hunger in their eyes and trivial knowledge in their brains. All that remained was for one Quiz Master to lead them on this journey.
Things got off to an exciting start as three teams hit a double off the first round! With blood in the water, these Tuesday Night Troublemakers opened up the floodgates. All bets were off as—round after round—teams swapped the top seat like it was a game of musical chairs.
It was anyone's game as we entered the Drinking Round. New York Touch had the closest guess, earning some free shots courtesy of our gracious venue.
As we went into the finale, six teams had equal share of points and chance of taking the win. As Round 7 came to a close, every team held their breath to see if they had secured a victory.
While the Brojans and New York Touch delivered powerhouse performances, it was the elite team of Trey Dongz clinching the big win tonight.

The Chaos Gem was in effect at Idle Hour! Technical difficulties, crashed systems, and 10 teams all vying for the top spot amidst all the turmoil. Fortunately, it wasn't this QM's first rodeo, and the show must always go on.
Things started slow in the first few rounds as timid newcomers discovered their trivia knowledge, but didn't yet trust themselves enough to double down. That changed in round 5 as each and every team discovered a well of courage sitting somewhere at the bottom of their third and fourth drinks.
That's when good ol' Murphy arrived, as we had a sudden shutdown of the online system! With teams struggling to find their answers, this QM rushed into action...and called a 5 minute technical timeout. Thankfully, we had pens and paper enough to catch everyone one, and scores were checked and double checked to make sure they went in the right direciton. By round 6, all systems were a go and we were back in action.
By this point, the top spot had shifted four times over. It was anyone's game. And then came round 6...the DOUBLE DOWN heard 'round the world.
Readers, believe me when I say...Every. Single. Team. Doubled.
But one missed a question!
With the leaderboard shook once again, we went into Round 7 to sort out the winners from the whiners. It turned out that Dr. Spaceman was a bit savvier when it comes to British pop bands, and they secured their win by a scant 2 points.
It was an EPIC throwdown, with some bobbing and weaving as only King Trivia knows how. If you're in NoHo on Tuesday, come on down to Idle Hour for the best trivia this side of the Mississip*!

What happens when 14 teams come to dinner and didn't know they needed to study for a test? A quiztastrophe in the making! Luckily, we had some truly S-teir guessers in the crowd tonight at Idle Hour. With an amazing group of energetic and hungry triviaphiles, it was bound to be an exciting time.
Things started off slow as everyone learned the ropes of the new app, got to know their QM, and made a few wildly inventive spelling errors. It was enough to warm this Quizard's heart, but you don't earn points with affection. You earn them with right answers.
Hunky Dory took a commanding lead early on, but their team couldn't quite put together some of the latter round answers, and suddenly the game grew tighter than my favorite shirt after I gained the Quarantine 15. As we entered Round 7, it was truly anyone's game.
During the drinking round, a new group emerged from the middle of the pack as eager contestants. Singles might be hurting on the dating apps, but they were killing it on the trivia app as they came within swinging distance of the lead.
Round 7 required a bit of geographical memory, but everyone knew their planet better than expected. We ended up with a single point ladder from first to second. Top dogs were Singles, followed by General Washingtons and I Meme, You Meme Me.
As always, an amazing job by all the teams, and the entire Idle Hour crew. We can't for next week, so come on down and join the party.
