QUIZ RECAP

When we say Idle Hour's King Trivia night is standing room only, we mean it. 28 teams arrived in our barrel-shaped battleground with one thing on their mind: total domination. We literally had teams in every section of the house. This QM's dogs were barking by the end, but it was all worth it. 

The opening rounds proved quite challenging, and soon we had a few teams trading the top spot back and forth for the early half of the show. When we reached the drinking round, it almost seemed like Enough to Feed an Army Hammer might sail away with the prize. 

Since today was National Kite Day, we challenged our teams with guessing the earliest written notice of the famed paper and string toy. High Tops, a veteran group of champions, nailed the estimate on the nose and earned a free round of shots!

As we sprinted toward the finish, the leaderboard became a game of musical chairs. Army Hammer fell from grace as Jason B. Gone and Quiz on Your Face threw out some meaty doubles. However, it was the come from behind spirit of Quiz Kid Donnie Smith that shocked the room!

As the final seconds ticked away, Jason B. Gone squeaked out a victory only a point ahead of Quiz Kid Donnie Smith, with Enough to Feed an Army Hammer locking down third. 

Another amazing night at Idle Hour, and you can make the next one! Join us every Tuesday at 8pm. 

QUIZ RECAP

Good gravy, what an insane night for King Trivia! 30 teams (no, that's not a typo) showed up to throw down the only way we know how. With seven rounds of trivia and plenty of prizes up for grabs, the game was most defintely afoot. 

After a few rounds of warm up, we actually had a distinct leader in the top position. Still, twenty-nine other groups weren't about to let anyone walk away with the show. By the time the Drinking Round approached, several bitter rivalries had formed. 

Since Groundhog Day was fast approaching, we asked how many days Bill Murray's character was stuck in his time loop (it's longer than you think). With the winner enjoying some well earned drinks, we dove right into the final stretch. 

Kingbeez, no stranger to the top spot, kept batting away Crouching Tiger and Quiz Kids. Meanwhile, Diana Spencer refused to be counted out, throwing down a much-needed double in Round Six. As it usual does, the show came down to the final question.

Since today begins the Year of the Tiger, we asked our teams to name 10 of 12 of the animals on the Chinese Zodiac. Many were able to hit the mark, but only a few were brave enough to double. 

In the end, Diana Spencer's Gifts took the top spot, with Crouching Tiger, Quizzing Dragon and Quiz Kid Donnie Smith right behind. 

You honestly have no excuse to miss out on King Trivia at Idle Hour. This is the best spot in the Valley, the only place to go in NoHo. Come join us any Tuesday at 8pm!

QUIZ RECAP

Another stellar night at Idle Hour! This was one for the record books, with 25 teams bringing their trivia knowledge into the gridiron for seven rounds of quiztastic action. While we had some controversy, some harsh words, and maybe even a spilled drink or two, we also had a great game with some passionate and wonderful teams. 

Basically, if you weren't there, you done messed up. 

As per usual, the early rounds allowed our newer teams time to stretch their legs and get to work. Veteran groups dropped doubles like it was nothing, leading to a pretty stark score split by the time we reached the Drinking Round. League legends the High Tops came to play, and they were giving everyone some serious competition. 

Since it was National Irish Cream Coffee Day, our Drinking Round asked the teams what year was the famous drink first served (officially) in the US. The answer (1952) led to a tie-breaker showdown where the Witches of HWood earned free shots for their table!

 Now in the final stretch, we came upon some controversy! A strangely-worded question threw a few players, leading to a bit of a points curfuffle. Fortunately, this QM was able to do the mental math (and verbal gymnastics) to clarify the scores where they were needed. Still, we had a real race on our hands moving into the final round. 

[Quick note from the QM: While some teams were awarded points after the question was amended, the top six teams for the night were unaffected by the change in points. In the future, we will be a bit stricter on wording, so be prepared! As always, we appreciate your passion greatly.]

Our final round was a real brain twister. Who did Rolling Stones Magazine twice list as the top ten artists in the world? As it turns out, our teams were better at choosing top tier talent than the magazine editors, but that's not how the question was worded. In a suprising upset, Bing Bong Babies rocked that round an catapulted into the lead!

Our final score had Bing Bong Babies on top, High Tops crushing it at second, and His Name Was Robert Paulson in third.
