**The 10th Annual Panorama Challenge Queens Museum**
Flushing Meadows-Corona Park

Saturday, March 4: Doors @ 5, Game @ 6
**General Admission: $15 online/$20 @ door Reliquary & Queens Museum Members: $12 online/$15 @ door**

Panorama Challenge quizzes players on NYC landmarks, bridges, neighborhoods, parks and more! MC [Matt Apter](http://levysuniqueny.com/about/matt-apter) reads questions while our judges highlight clues on the Panorama. Players in teams of 10 (or so) use those clues (and musical hints!) ​to determine the correct answer.

Teams may organize as either Panorama Challengers or Panorama Pros. Challengers are first‐timers who may not have dedicated their lives to the study of our great city. Their questions will be easier! Pros are returning contestants and die‐hard students of our city’s hidden corners
––they answer twice as many questions each round (60 total!) Friendly tour guides ​from The Levys’ Unique New York! will be on hand to help match contestants with teams.

Quizmaster [Jonathan Turer](http://www.ganyc.org/jonathan-turer) returns for his sixth year with a new batch of questions! This year, [Open House New York](http://www.ohny.org/) has joined us for a category based on their upcoming series *Getting to Zero*. Other categories will include: Seinfeld; Snow in the City; Traveling by Subway; Mills, Mills, Mills!; and Forts of NY. In light of BREXIT and the 2016 Presidential Election, our **Halftime Quiz** will focus on British NYC and the Trumps.
