Neither rain nor sleet nor flooded streets can keep a Quizmaster from their venue. Our teams sailed in or rowed up on makeshift rafts, but there was no trouble making a sizable crowd for tonight’s edition of KING TRIVIA here at Idle Hour. With 15 teams hungry for some action, we dove into another epic showdown. 

The first half of our game was dominated by Team Good, as they leveraged an early double to hold down the other teams in second place. The momentum shifted during the Drinking Round, as Not Natalie Portmans used their hard-earned shots to build up the courage for a few risky doubles that brought them into second. But second soon became the hottest spot in town, with a three-way tie amongst the veteran teams. 

In Round 6, Three Cool Boys made their move, slipping just ahead of the pack by a hair and nabbing the gold medal position. It was still a neck-and-neck game…and it was about to get necker!

After seven rounds of intense trivia, we still had our three teams vying for a spot, so we went to the tie-breaker. Trivial Pursuit of Dat Ass, hesitant though they may have been, risked a big jump in the final question…and earned their place in history. 

 

Our winners for the night were Three Cool Boys, Trivial Pursuit of Dat Ass, and Not Natalie Portmans!

Here’s a riddle for you: It’s Tuesday night in the Valley. You’re hungry, itching for some delightful company, and in dire need of entertainment. You could go to a movie, spend a few hours watching talented performers bring fantasy to life, and maybe end up with a few popcorn kernels permanently wedged between your molars…or you could enjoy the greatest show in all of NoHo. Where do you go?

That’s right! You haul your butt down to Idle Hour for the best quiz in the quizness…KING TRIVIA!

33 teams arrived this balmy evening with a deep and insatiable hunger…for victory. 

The first half of the game was dominated by a massive 10-way tie, with veteran and newbie teams unwilling to let up on those doubles. Suddenly, as the half ended, Bang Bang and We’re the Problem stepped out of the group setting and into a duo at the top of the stack! But the top fifteen teams were still only points apart. 

For our drinking round, we asked our teams devious questions about the global vacation situation. LHS Class of 2014 had the geographical knowledge to knock out the competition and earn the free shots. 

It took another two rounds before Breakfast All Day—back from their long absence—rose into a solitary lead. But the top ten teams were all within 5 points of one another. It was going to be an epic photo finish. 

 

Our winners for the night were Breakfast All Day, We’re the Problem it’s Us, and Legally Distinct Branding!

Oh there can’t be nothing finer than some trivia in a diner in the…eeeeeevening! That’s right, it’s Tuesday night, which means more KING TRIVIA here at Idle Hour in NoHo. 33 teams arrived for a showdown of epic proportions as newbies and veterans said yes to our quizzical quest with 7 rounds of the best game in town. 

The first half of the game was a monster of a tie, whittling down round after round until we finally have a 7-way split going into the half. 

During the Drinking Round, we paid homage to the challenges of decent penmanship for National Handwriting Day. POOR THINGS, eager to grab a little liquid encouragement, knocked it out of the park for the big win. 

It wasn’t until Round 5 that we finally had a leader. Alemany stepped up with a powerful double, eager to lock in for the final stretch. But Breakfast All Day was quick to step in during Round 6, leapfrogging into a safe position. With the top ten teams only points away from one another, it would all come down to a little geopolitickin’!

 

Our winners for the night were Barnes and Noble Permanent, Last Bus to Nutley, and Alemany!
