QUIZ RECAP

Warm weather and cool drinks make a fine pair, just like Tuesday evening and INTENSE TRIVIA ACTION. That’s right, heroes. The crowds descended upon our barrel-shaped bastion of good times for another session of King Trivia!

23 teams cast their hats into the ring, ready to face off in quizzical combat for the coveted prizes of the leaderboard. With everything at stake and their beers getting warm, it was time to start the show. 

Round 1 left us with the biggest tie we’ve ever had as more than ten teams doubled and won. With spirits high, we launched into Round 2…which was destined to humbled our champions. 

With iconic images of feminist leaders flying, only two teams were able to scrape together the points to climb higher in the ranks: Algorithm and Blues and Stu and the Soups. Our top ten was mere points away from one another, so this was destined for a scrum. 

Round 4 saw a major shakeup as InFactuated and Jack and the Offs leapt ahead with clutch guesses, securing the top two spots away from our former leaders. It was time to lower the temperature of the room with some cold drinks.

As it was National Airborne Day, we celebrated the founding of our fearless fliers from the 101st Airborne. With an absolutely spot on guess, Landback won free shots and the honor of all those heroes in AC-130s around the world. 

Round 5 saw another scuffle for the top spots, with barely a point separating the future winners of the grand prize. Jack and the Offs unseated their rivals with a massive double, taking the lead with only a few rounds left to play. 

Round 6 brought even more chaos as our cooks turned up the heat in the kitchen, mixing and matching dishes and ingredients. When the smoke cleared and the meals were served…every team had pretty much known the correct pairing! Which meant our scores weren’t so different heading in to the final round!

With everything on the line, the teams dug deep into their knowledge of the World Cup, but there could only be one to emerge triumphant in the end. 

As we held our closing ceremonies, we crowned our new champions: Jack and the Offs, Leg Day (never forget), and Win or Booze!

They said it couldn’t be done. They told us it was too crazy, too risky, too slapdash to actually pull off. But the trivia titans of Idle Hour know no such fears. Despite 90+ degree temperatures, they braved the scorching heat to attempt the impossible: King Trivia! That’s right, it’s Tuesday in NoHo, so you know there is only one place to be!

29 teams arrived into the bubbling barrel-shaped cauldron for some intense quizzical action, and we delivered as only Idle Hour knows how. 

Round One saw the usual tie, but only three teams were brave enough to throw out that first double: Baby Geniuses 3, Diana Spencer’s Gifts, and Vandalay Industries. 

Round Two proved a bit more challenging, allowing Baby Geniuses 3 to sneak into the lead. Quiz Kid Donnie Smith took their deserved position in 2nd, and 3rd was tied with Sloppy Tots Maverick and Bad News Care Bears. 

Baby Geniuses were able to hold their lead moving into the second half of the show as we paused play to have a quick drinking round and celebrate this nation’s Vice Presidents! Box Unchecked won a tight tie-breaker to earn free shots for the table!

Round Five brought out the fighting spirit, and suddenly Bad News Care Bears advanced into second place, followed by a feisty Sloppy Tots Maverick. With only a few rounds left, who would be able to toppled the unmatched Baby Geniuses?

As it turns out, neither of those teams had the itch, because Diana Spencer’s Gifts came out of nowhere to steal the lead with only one round to go!

With everything on the line, our champions went into the final round. But who could possibly emerge victorious? Who would best these executors of examination?

When the smoke cleared, Diana Spencer’s Gifts stood tall, followed by Vandalay Industries and Bad News Care Bears.

Another scorcher keeping the hot streak alive in NoHo…which worked perfectly as Idle Hour was running a hot streak for the BIGGEST TRIVIA SHOW IN TOWN! That’s right, you question-hungry kiddos. It was another great Tuesday night for King Trivia!

31 teams arrived, swathed in fanciful colors to denote their allegiances and kingdoms, prepared to do battle upon the barrel-shaped field. But only 3 could emerge from our tournament victorious…so who would it be?

While Round One ended with the usual massive tie of teams, Round Two ended with Algorithm and Blues jumping ahead of the pack with a clutch double. Second and Third place were tied up, with teams fighting for their spot on the leaderboard. After stuffing yet another team into the corner, we continued the show. 

Rounds Three and Four went fast and furious, with our leaderboard remaining tight at the top. Snark Squad took over second and held on tight, with Baby Geniuses 3 emerging into 3rd before the half. 

With the heat still beating down, we took a break for a drinking round. For National Ice Cream Sandwich Day, we challenged our teams with history and finance questions about the summertime treat. Emergency Food Birthday Cake Edition, celebrating an actual factual birthday, earned the right to some free shots courtesy of our amazing hosts!

While Round Five went by without much issues (aside from one team miraculously calling the connection after one question), Round Six saw a major shakeup on the leaderboard as Trivia Munn took second and Kingbeez jumped into third! With mere points between the top ten and victory, it was time for a final showdown. 

When the answers finally rolled in and “Final Countdown” ended, it was time to tally the scores and elect a true winner…after a quick Tie Breaker!

Algorithm and Blues took the grand prize, followed by Trivia Munn and Kingbeez! Snark Squad earned the coveted fourth place tin cup, while the rest of the teams left with new memories and bitter rivals.
