The winds of change may be blowing throughout the streets of Los Angeles, but one thing remains immovable here in NoHo: Idle Hour is THE BEST place to play…KING TRIVIA! 

23 teams joined us in our barrel-shaped bar for a barrel of fun, seven rounds of questions, and the tastiest cocktails this side of the 101.

Round One was simply trivia training wheels, getting our teams up to speed with the way the game is played. We had the usual tie, pumped up our players’ egos, and moved along. 

Round Two was decidedly spicier as our pictures asked players to think beyond the superficial and give us the titles and names of iconic tyrants. Jake and all of his lovely friends tied with Wildly Inconsistent in first. 

Round Three saw Wild take the lead by a single point, leaving Jake in second.

Round Four was simply too easy for these seasoned bingers, so no positions changed for our teams. 

Our Drinking Round focused not he discovery of magnets…because why not? After a sudden-death tie breaker, Successful Beards earned the free shots…and gained a boost they sorely needed for future rounds. 

Round Five certainly needed a bigger boat as our teams through our risky doubles to leap into the lead. Successful Beards, fresh off their free drink win, snatched that top spot!

Round Six asked which of teams were most familiar with the Game Show Network. As it turned out, quite a few! Beards maintained their lead, but Bad News Care Bears and Wildly Inconsistent pushed hard to take back their spots!

Round Seven came down to who watched the most Shark Week. When all was said and done, we crowned our winners. Successful Beards, Bad News Care Bears, and Wildly Inconsistent!

Merry Strikemas to all who celebrate! The streets may be crowded with word-smiths, but the hallowed halls of Idle Hour were packed with answer-smiths eager to cement their place in history. Welcome to KING TRIVIA!

30 groups rested their feet after a long day of picketing to enjoy the best trivia in the Valley…nay, THE WORLD.

Round One landed at a massive tie at the top, but most important is that every team submitted on time. 

Round Two took a turn toward spots in TV and film, which combined our teams’ least and most favorite topics in one arena! Drunk and on Strike jumped into an early lead and hoped to hold it.

Round Three saw Camp Mohawk demonstrate their knowledge of spines and space as they tore into second.

Round Four saw the silver spot swap again as Three Cool Boys snagged the title from Mohawk. 

Our Drinking Round honored the struggle of our brothers and sisters protesting for their right to a living wage. That’s right, it was a Union Strong celebration, and we had some hard-hitting questions for our teams. Jimmy Timmy Power Hour battled a few rounds before taking the free shots. 

Round Five had our teams thinking about tossed salads and scrambled eggs. Team Charcuterie managed a tricky double to snag second place away, but gold remained firmly with Drunk and on Strike. 

Round Six was a boon for those fools taking Latin in high school. No Thoughts Head Empty managed to rise to the occasion, and suddenly this was a real ball game…because while Drunk and on Strike had a perfect round, they didn’t double. 

Round Seven came down to the choices made throughout the game. When to double, when to skip, when to forget to hit submit. 

Our winners for the night were Breakfast All Day, Drunk and On Strike, and No Thoughts Head Empty.

There’s nothing quite like a night at Idle Hour. Teams come from all around the city to join in the best show in all of NoHo: KING TRIVIA!

33 groups gathered for a night of revelry and riddles, led by yours truly. Without much ado (about nothing) we got down to quizness. 

Round One of course started with a tie, but this was truly massive: 15 teams toppled over each other for first place. However, by Round Two, Quiz Team-A Aguilera had already moved into second. 

Three Cool Boys waiting until Round Three to make their move, and the Wildly Inconsistent folk jumped into the leaderboard after Four. 

Our Drinking Round asked the question: Who was on the receiving end of the first EVER phone call. With what would become their new routine, Emergency Food took the win. And they never looked back. 

Round Five was a downright brutal slugfest as our top teams began lobbing doubles like they were made of them. Unfortunately, that reward also comes with a hefty bit of risk. Leveraging the stakes, Emergency Food jumped into a narrow lead with a single point over Quiz Team-A. 

The top two battled it out round over round, and in the end it was a mere few points that separated the scores. 

Our winners for the night were Emergency Food: All 'Tucker'd Out, Quiz-Team-A Aguilera, and Wildly Inconsistent.
