Friday, April 17, 6pm: Panorama Challenge

The City Reliquary’s Panorama Challenge returns to the Queens Museum’s Panorama of the City of New York on Friday, April 17! This year marks the 15th edition of the beloved trivia game.

Since its launch in 2007, the Panorama Challenge has brought out NYC trivia’s top dogs. Emcee Gary Dennis and Quizmaster Jonathan Turer are back with fresh topics including “Chronically Online” (NYC Viral Moments), “The Road Where It Happens” (The City on Broadway), and other areas of New York history and lore.

Teams of Panorama Pros (experts) and Panorama Challengers (amateurs) get quizzed on all things NYC using the Panorama as a massive game board. The winning Pro team will join Panorama Challenge history when its name is added to the Panorama Challenge Trophy.

Ticketing and team registration are open! Buy online in advance for a discount ($25 vs. $30 at the door). Members of the City Reliquary get even deeper discounted admission of $20. A link to team registration will be sent with ticket purchase confirmation.

Questions? Reach out to us at info@cityreliquary.org. See you at the Panorama!
