Every year a pub's quiz night culminates in a nationwide search for New Zealand's smartest pub quiz team, the best of which gather in a three hour extravaganza which is often only decided by a point or two!
New Zealand’s premiere trivia event is back for its 24th year. On Saturday 23 November, the best quiz-goers will gather all around the country to compete for the glory of being crowned New Zealand’s best quiz team. If you think you and your teammates have what it takes, lock the date in now, send an email expressing interest to info@believeitornot.co.nz and we will release the entry forms to you in due course.
This year’s venue is once again The Grand Hall at Auckland’s Eden Park.
The quiz itself is a normal (slightly elevated) BION quiz which you all know and love, with a few additions for the Championship event.
As usual, the top three teams will receive prizes (prizes TBC closer to the event), alongside the usual spot prizes and Best Dressed Team award.
