QUIZ RECAP

Summer heat can only be beat with a bowl of tater tots, a cool Frosé, and a heaping spoonful of KING TRIVIA! With 29 teams and the greatest venue in all the land, Idle Hour was alive with energy for another amazing quizzical adventure. 

Tonight was no normal night. This was a demonstration. With Strikemas Eve Part 2 just around the corner, one team pulled out all the stops. It was a Cinderella story for the ages, and well earned by all involved. 

Quiz-Teama Aguilera arrives each week with hope in their eyes and trivia in their heads. Sadly, they’ve often been the bridesmaids and not the brides, leaving with a silver or bronze in their record. It seemed like that top spot was forever out of their reach. 

Or so they thought. 

Tonight, from the jump, they fired on all cylinders. This wasn’t just a showdown; this was a quiz clinic. They dropped doubles, took risky guesses, and never blinked in the face of a crowded leaderboard. By Round 4, they had a steady lead and wouldn’t look back. 

When the dust finally settled, they had an 11-point lead and a gold medal coming their way. It was a cathartic moment, like Frodo and Sam watching the ring finally fade away in the fires of Mount Doom. It was Rudy being carried on his team’s shoulders. It was…whatever the climax is for the English Patient. 

It was a first place victory, long awaited, and deftly earned. 

To honor the most important national holiday—National Cow Appreciation Day—we asked the teams to show us pictures of cows…or cow themes. With the best picture of the bunch, Pussy Pals took the free drinks!

We ended the night with a big win. Quiz-Teama Aguilera, Furious Jumpers, and Not Natalie Portmans!

QUIZ RECAP

How do you demonstrate “spectacular?” It could be a fireworks festival, the latest Fast and/or Furious movie, and—of course—KING TRIVIA at Idle Hour!

32 teams (and nearly 150 people) joined us for the finest two hours of quizzing money can buy…because our shows are FREE.

Round One lead to the normal enormous tie, but it was a short-lived share of the top spot

By Round Two, we had a defined leader in His Name is Grogu!

Round Three swapped things around as Algorithm and Blues, back from their long hiatus, jumped into the top spot. 

Round Four saw the Furious Jumpers risk it all with a big swing to claim a single point lead. 

To honor National Sunglasses Day (for the Drinking Round), we tasked our teams with showing off their coolest sunny photos. After a harrowing tie-breaker, Emergency Food took the free shots.  

Round Five saw Furious, Algorithm, and Quiz Kid Donnie Smith holding the line, but most teams were within ten points. 

Round Six was a shocker as Quiz Kid slipped down and Bugle took its place in third!

Round Seven saw all the doubles and fails come to fruition as our teams risked it all for a final victory. 

We ended the night with a big win.  Furious Jumpers, Three Cool Boys, and Algorithm and Blues!
