The city's greatest ever trivia will take place once again on March 4th, when teams gather around the Queen Museum's massive panorama and attempt to answer questions about NYC and everything in it. This is the 9th year for the event, which caters to the city's know-it-alls:
The Panorama Challenge quizzes participants about our city while laser-wielding tour guides point out clues on the Panorama. The evening’s MC Mike Morgenthal will read aloud the question and teams of 10 (or so) will use those clues as well as musical hints to determine the correct answer.
Teams may be organized as either a Panorama Challenger or Panorama Pro. Challenger teams are first-timers or those who may not have dedicated their lives to the study of our great city. Their questions will be easier! Pros are returning contestants who are die-hard students of our city’s hidden corners—and must answer double the number of questions each round (60 total!)
Identify the most locations and your Pro team will join the ranks of legendary past winners when its name is etched on the Panorama Challenge Trophy at the Queens Museum!
Tickets for the event are available here for $15 per person, and there will be a free shuttle from the Museum to the Mets-Willets Point 7 stop. (You can also buy a piece of the display.)
