QUIZ RECAP

Another fantastic trivia night in the the barrel at Idle Hour! Guest host August had a full house this fine Thanksgiving week. It was a real rollercoaster with a shake-up for first place almost every round! Some questions seemed easy, almost TOO easy, while others had most folks stumped. (If you recognized the Famous Amos spokesperson by sight before tonight, I salute you.) 
For our drinking round we had the teams come up with the most ridiculous reasons our fabulous regular host Adam was not in attedance, with the winning excuse being "Trivia addiction: family is staging an intervention at Thanksgiving."
The game finished out with Hot In Topeka taking 3rd after a solid and consistent game, Lady and the Tramps in 2nd after a meteoric rise, and Paloma's Team in 1st repping birthday girl Paloma! What better gift than both victory and a $35 gift card to this fabulous bar? 

Big thanks and great job to all the teams! Hope to see you again next Tuesday for more trivia!

QUIZ RECAP

A gorgeous Fall evening here in NoHo. The weather was perfect, the crowd was energized, but our futuristic app? Not so much! Never fear, however, as these teams (and this intrepid QM) are never afraid of a little adversity. 

27 groups joined us in the barrel-shaped battlefield to test their knowledge and win prizes. It was a fight for honor, a fight for glory, and a fight for…some gift cards to Idle Hour!

In the opening rounds of the game, Kimpossible Burgers took an early lead and managed to hold out for four rounds, fending off would be leaders by a single point. 

During our well earned break in the Drinking Round, we asked our teams to discern when the first working refrigerator was invented. With a quick tie-breaker, The Ham Game took the free shots (and a little bit of knew knowledge) back to their table. 

Round Five through everything out the window, as Snark Squad and Kingbeez locked into a tie for first and pushed everyone else back by several points. But all that would change when KB dropped back to fourth and Yes Chef leapt into third, with Tequila Tots angling for an upset. 

Finally, we reached Round Seven. Snark Squad’s uncanny knowledge of Broadway kept them in the top spot, but Kingbeez and Yes Chef had to battle out a tie-breaker for the final seats. 

In the end, we crowned our champions and enjoyed a well-earned glass of water, the perfect end to another incredible trivia show.

QUIZ RECAP

The storms raged and torrents of rain fell upon the unprepared denizens of North Hollywood. Seeking shelter from the sudden downpour, throngs of soaked city dwellers descended into a barrel-shaped paradise called Idle Hour, seeking warmth and nourishment. What they found was…KING TRIVIA! 

11 teams braved the weather to test their mettle against the gridiron of guessing, the quest of quizzes, the KING of TRIVIA. 

Round One helped our teams shake off the rain and warm up with some easy, over the plate questions. Four teams held the lead with perfect scores, but their domination could last only so long. 

In Round Two, Rise of the Quizantine Empire took a single point lead over the pack, followed by a tense tie between Long Hair Don’t Care and Needy Boyfriends. 

Round Three was slim pickings as our intrepid teams weren’t as well versed in 1930s boxing or Selective Service expiration dates. Still, with the teams not moving much on the boards, it only fueled more fire for the future of the contest. 

Round Four was easy for Shonda-heads. This meant that, aside from Let’s Get Quizzical joining the tie at 2nd, the scoreboard hardly shifted. It was a tight game and only getting tighter!

For our Drinking Round, we celebrated National S.T.E.M. Day by asking for amazing science facts from our teams. With a mind blowing (and haunting) fact, Let’s Get Quizzical won free shots!

Round Five took our champions from the warm halls of Idle Hour all the way to the moon and back! With some careful thinking and reckless doubles, Needy Boyfriends took the lead!

In Round Six, we were looking for famous people and their famous mothers, like you do. A few teams followed the E network pretty close, so this was practically no work at all. With a major double, Hooligans tied Needy Boyfriends in first, while Long Hair Don’t Care jumped into second!

The final round was a mixed bag for our assembled teams, as they argued about which characters could possibly have taken the lead for most popular new Halloween costumes. In the end, we crowned three amazing winners:

Needy Boyfriends, The Hooligans, and Long Hair Don’t Care!
