What a night at Idle Hour! You know we like to bring on Tuesdays, but this was something special. 15 teams, Cazadores drink specials, and the amazing energy of NoHo...it was a recipe for excellence. 

With a few returning faces, we got down into quiz town with a powerful opening round. Bill and Melinda Gates took a big risk with a Double Down, securing a lead...and they wouldn't let it go the entire game!

With such a powerful team at the top of the board, the rest of the pack grew hungry. Points were flying as teams risked it all for big wins...or shattering losses. General Washingtons rose and fell by inches, scraping at the top three for most of the game. Snark Squad equally came to play, and a true battle for the ages commenced. 

After the surprisingly difficult Guess Who round, we took a break for a few shots by guessing the overall land mass of Ukraine (like you do). While there were some wild guesses, two were wildly close. Chardonyay, true to their spirit-loving name, earned a free round a shots for the table. 

Unfortunately, as they later admitted, those shots might have robbed them of their zest for the test. Their time near the top of the boards was at an end, but what a way to go!

As we rounded into the final stretch, Five teams were only points away from one another for the top spots. With their commanding lead dwindling, Bill and Melinad Gates needed to pull out all the stops to clinch the win. 

That's when our game-long winners came over to the QM to admit they actually couldn't hear that well and didn't know their score. They had lead the game by sheer will alone! But would knowing their place actually harm their chances?

As the final grains of sand fell from the metaphorical hourglass, the final scores were tallied and three winners selected. It was a hard fought battle, but our champions earned their accolades and gift cards. 

You don't want to miss another instant of this trivia thunderdome. Come on down to Idle Hour eveyr Tuesday night at 8PM.

This one was one for the record books, folks. Idle Hour is known for its great food and beverages, but tonight we saw KT history in the making. 22 teams packed the house at every angle, crammed in tight so they could each fight for a piece of that sweet quiz-licious pie. It was a down and out rumble, and this QM was only too ready to begin. 

With so many teams, there was of course the usual jockeying for top position...yet surprisingly little trash talk. Players were packed so tight together that, on at least one occasion, and overly excited exclamation of the correct answer spread like wildfire from table to table. 

By the midway point, we were looking at a stacked leaderboard. It was time for a quick break for the drinking round. The QM asked about the length of the Canadian coastline. While guesses were mostly wild and innaccurate, one team took an amazingly accurate shot in the dark. While still off by a few thousand kilometers, they were far and away the closest and won free shots for the table. 

When it came down to Round 7, the first place spot was all but secured. Newbies had doubled nearly every round, and it was a powerful performance to say the least. But the leaderboard was far from spoken for. It was anyone's guess who would come out on top. 

As it turns out, three teams wanted it, and we had a tie-breaker round to decide Third Place. With a decent guess, Fartin Van Buren took their place in trivia history. 

Idle Hour puts on a great show every Tuesday night at 8PM. Come and join us, but bring your A game. The locals play for keeps.

You can't ask for a better trivia showdown than we bring every Tuesday at Idle Hour. The Big Ol' Barrel was a rocking this night as 12 teams arrived with hunger in their eyes and trivial knowledge in their brains. All that remained was for one Quiz Master to lead them on this journey. 

Things got off to an exciting start as three teams hit a double off the first round! With blood in the water, these Tuesday Night Troublemakers opened up the floodgates. All bets were off as—round after round—teams swapped the top seat like it was a game of musical chairs. 

It was anyone's game as we entered the Drinking Round. New York Touch had the closest guess, earning some free shots courtesy of our gracious venue. 

As we went into the finale, six teams had equal share of points and chance of taking the win. As Round 7 came to a close, every team held their breath to see if they had secured a victory. 

While the Brojans and New York Touch delivered powerhouse performances, it was the elite team of Trey Dongz clinching the big win tonight. 

If you missed out, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Come join us any Tuesday night for more King Trivia action!
