The Panorama Challenge Trivia Contest for NYC Know-it-Alls Announced for May 2

The City Reliquary event returns to the Queens Museum for its 14th year

The City Reliquary, a museum of New York City’s everyday artifacts, returns to the Queens Museum for the 14th Annual Panorama Challenge on Friday, May 2. The largest NYC-themed trivia game will take place at The Panorama of the City of New York, a scale model of the five boroughs created for the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair. 

The City Reliquary first launched the Panorama Challenge at the Queens Museum in 2007. The event is the largest New York City-themed trivia game and convenes the top dogs in NYC knowledge.

This exciting evening of trivia puts the whole city at your feet. Teams of Panorama Pros (experts) and Panorama Challengers (amateurs) get quizzed on all things NYC using the Panorama as a massive game board. This year’s topics will include (Mom and) Pop Culture, Mobile Homes, Union Houses, and other areas of urban history and lore.

The winning Pro team will join the ranks of past winners when its name is etched on the Panorama Challenge Trophy housed at the Queens Museum. Emcee Gary Dennis and Quizmaster Jonathan Turer, founder of KnowItAllNewYorker.com, return with a brand-new batch of city-themed stumpers.

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

Shuttle service will be provided for guests between the 111^th Street 7 train station to Queens Museum.
