QUIZ RECAP

What an incredible night at Idle Hour! Can you smell what's cooking? Because it's the holidays, and we were serving up some Candied Questions, Roasted Requests, and Trivia Turkey! 17 teams joined the fun at Idle Hour for seven rounds of the best trivia this side of the 101. 

Returning champions CHICKEN NUGGETS hoped to see their winning streak continue, but their competition was hungry to steal away that crown. 

Our first few rounds, as they often go, were ties on ties on ties. These were mostly veteran players and fearless newbies, so Doubles were flying left and right. It meant the leaderboard remained locked up tight, even while the scores bounced all over. 

As we finished the first course and took a break for a drinking round, three teams still held together in a lock for first place. We needed some difficult questions to break the tie. 

Kingbeez, no strangers to this particular show, came closest in our Drinking Round game and earned free shots. As it turns out, they were laced with KNOWLEDGE. While KB had been flirting with the leaderboard, they had yet to make a real move. That all changed in Round Five.

Newbies Burnt Corks saw their enviable run fall behind, and even the dog-powered Potato's Friends couldn't keep pace as local legends Snark Squad and Quizness Time earned the top two positions leading into the final showdown. 

When the dust settled, a shocking twist! Kingbeez had risen from the middle of the pack to take a dominant lead...and the whole enchilada! Snark Squad had a close second finish, with Quizness Time rounding out the third. 

You don't want to miss a moment of our show, so come on down to Idle Hour every Tuesday at 8PM.

Holy cow! Over one hundred people came back from Thanksgiving with only one thought on their minds: Dominate in King Trivia! 25 teams arrived in our barrel-shaped bar to throw down in a contest of champions, bringign with them all the fire and hunger you'd expect for a Tuedsay night NoHo crowd. 

With newbies and veterans champing at the bit to get started, this QM readied a salvo of trivial missiles and set to work giving these folks the show they deserved. 

Round One went down easy, with eight teams earning perfect scores. Soon, however, it became anyone's game. The leaderboard shifted faster than the gears in a Fast and Furious film. By the end of Round Four, our top ten were mere points apart. 

As this was the Third Night of Chanukah, we decided to hold a good ol' fashioned Dreidel-Off! Every team played in a bracket, whittling down the competition until only 5 remained. It was a test of endurance, with the longest spin winning the free shots! In the end, with an amazing score of 12.44 seconds, Quiz Kid Donnie Smith took home the drinks and accolades. 

Our second half separated the teams even more, with a few ill-advised doubles sending some fresh-faced teams toward the back of the pack. By the time we reached Round Seven, CHICKEN NUGGETS and Bean Brigade seemed destined for victory. But it's not over until it's over. 

Round Seven took everyone by surpise, and it came down to a tie-breaker and a single point of victory. Buttery Smooth Brains eked out a narrow lead over Cul De Sac Crew, and CHICKEN NUGGETS took the top spot from Danger Nights Crew (who were warned twice about Sloppy Steaks). 

You just had to be there to feel that energy...so don't miss out next time! King Trivia goes down every Tuesday night at 8PM, and we can't wait to see you.

Tonight's trivia was a blast! We had 17 teams with not an open seat in the house! With team names like The Christian Mingles, Midnight Powerwalk and Law School Dropouts, how could you not have a fun time?!

Teams did an amazing job tonight - a very dedicated and knowledgable group! The knots round turned out to be a strong area for most teams - woo! I wish I knew knot education like the teams did tonight!

The connection round was a toughie for most, but the teams who figured out the bridges connection were feeling great after successfully discovering the common theme.

The drinking round was thoroughly entertaining when the underdogs (The Christian Mingles) came out on top and were awarded tequila shots! Congrats!

I was able to mingle with a lot of the teams tonight - which I love! Tons of fun locals and some out of towners. And let's not forget the cute pups that made an appearance - Bunny and Shady!

Shoutout to the two teams from Texas (my home state!) I love finding fellow Texans in California.

Overall, it was a great night of people, trivia and music! The Idol Hour staff was incredible - per usual! 🙂
