QUIZ RECAP

Clear skies and french fries brought out the crowds as King Trivia returned to the barrel-shaped battleground of Idle Hour for another epic event. Hot food and cold drinks fueled the throng of trivia titans for what would become a night to remember. 

32 teams crammed into the bar for the most epic game of pub trivia ever performed. With the bucket o’ candy primed and the QM properly caffeinated, it was time to start the show. 

Round One was an easy setup for most of our teams, but also separated the Wild Wendys from the Cautious Cathys. Doubling down is the name of the game, but with so many teams we ended up with a massive tie.

Round Two asked our teams to identify famous green celebrities, both real and fictions (okay, mostly fictional). After some classy doubles, we had a four-way tie at the top: Diana Spencer’s Gifts, 720 of emotions, We Cool, and Emergency Food: Cocaine Gummi Bears. 

Round Three was a theme that had our teams thinking about the mad science behind the produce section. Diana Spencer’s Gifts and Emergency Food locked into a heated tie at the top. 

Round Four saw Idle Sour take second, but could they maintain their position against such tough competition?

For the Drinking Round, we had a series of tougher and tougher questions about cereal (like you do).  Morella Panthers managed to knock out the other contenders and win the free shots. 

Round Five taught our teams not to mess with Texas. No change in scores, but 720 of Emotions and Snark Squad won “best wrong answers.”

Round Six put our teams to task for not knowing their WNBA teams, but it was Agents of the Zeitgeist that shook the court by taking the lead!

Round Seven was a nail biter, but we ended up with a clean line up of winners. 

When the dust settled, we crowned Agents of the Zeitgeist, Diana Spencer’s Gifts, and Idol Sour!

QUIZ RECAP

Rain, rain, go away! You’re harshing the vibe here at Idle Hour…oh wait! What’s that? 26 teams still braved this crazy storm to engage in the greatest show of all…KING TRIVIA! What a surprise. 

Actually, it’s no surprise at all when you’ve got the best show in all of NoHo. These trivia titans brought umbrellas, rain coats, and insane energy as we dove into seven rounds of incredible quizzical action. 

Round One proved slightly more of a challenge for a crowd of mostly new players, but our vets were here to show them how it’s done. We had a four-way tie for first: Emergency Food: Let’s a-Go gurt, 720 of emotions, Trivia?, and Da Bears.

Round Two took our teams to cinematic snow drifts, and allowed Da Bears to sled into the lead. 

Round Three in put love in the air, but the top spot wasn’t moving. Second place whittled down to Alcohollabackgirls and The Downhill Sassholes.

Round Four took no one by surprise, and our teams hardly moved their positions. It seemed like we needed to break the tension with a little free booze. 

Drinking Round asked the question…why does February only have 28 days? With the winning answer, the free shots went to Garf!

Round Five was a deelish connection served at an easy medium-rare. Half Straws followed their stomachs and took the lead. 

Round Six was no one’s friend, but that just meant it was a boon for the readers of the pack. Diana Spencer’s Gifts, lingering in the shadows for so long, suddenly jumped into the lead!

Round Seven went fast and furious, and proved a challenge even for the veterans, but soon the way was clear for a winner. 

We held a rapid-fire tie breaker and crowned our winners: Diana Spencer’s Gifts, Half Straws, and Da Bears!

SUPER MARIO THEMED EVENT AT IDLE HOUR RECAP

It’s a ME. King Trivia!

Welcome to a very special edition of the greatest quiz show on Earth. Or should we say, the greatest quiz show in the entire Mushroom Kingdom! That’s right, the monarch of mystery has taken the show through a giant green pipe and into the world of Super Mario. 

23 teams warped in to collect 100 coins, consume some mushrooms, and defeat the tyrannical lizard kings (Editor’s Note: King Trivia has released no comment regarding the political situation in the Mushroom Kingdom).

Round One warmed up the teams’ trivia muscles and prepared them for the epic war to come. Ten teams held a tie for first place, but all that would change quickly. 

Round Two immediately separated those teams that had prepared for this game with those that had not. Emergency Food: None Pizza, Left Mushroom, The Koopalings, The Bleeding Birdos, and Hot Diggity Dogs took a tie for first, beginning a bitter rivalry that would carry to the end of the game. 

Round Three was a theme round within a theme show, a turducken of trivial mastery. Emergency Food and Hot Diggity Dogs locked horns in first.

Round Four saw the top spot hold position, with Bleeding Birdos and Koopalings in a tight second. 

For our Drinking Round, we paid homage to the original live action Mario, Lou Albano. With a tie-breaker win, Third Mario Brother earned the free shots. 

As this was a competition with some iconic characters at the center, we held a Voice Acting competition to see which team could do the best impression of these legends of the 8-bit cartridge. While we crowned many winners, it was IDK that took home the coveted “best Mario” award. 

Our leaderboard remained nearly unchanged through the latter half of the show, though Bowser’s Bitches and Bob-omb’s Burgers both made bids for the third place trophy. In the end, it took a tie-breaker to settle the score and award the big prizes. 

We crowned Hot Diggity Dogs as our grand champion, followed by Emergency Food: None Pizza, Left Mushroom and Bleeding Birdos.
