Mumbai Quiz Festival 2014

The Mumbai Quiz Festival is no longer an idea, it is a franchise. That is to say, sequels will be churned out, year on year, and larger crowds will swell the ranks of the participants and audiences. Therefore, we present to you MQF 2014. The only difference from say, a Transformer franchise apart from the absence of Megan Fox will be the lack of blockbuster profits. 

The MQF is the most efficient and rewarding quiz festival in the country, and this year we will further up the game by shifting to a truly upmarket location - the Nehru Centre. It comes with efficient air-conditioning, aesthetics interiors, good lighting and excellent PR system - need I say more. 

2 days of non-stop quizzing - 6 quizzes in all. Open to all it promises to be a high quality, excellent quiz series with something for everyone.

New Year, old hand.

The Dadabhai Nowrojee of BQC, Balakrishnan Satyam, will kickoff the new year with his Quiz on Sunday. Having spent his salad days in 10th century Russia and having seen the Mongol invasion firsthand from a cliff, Bala has over 900 years of Quizzing experience, more than ample to prepare a very diverse quiz. And he makes them as perfect as they come. Get ready for a quiz better than any new year's party. (you might have to answer a little louder though, Bala suffered some hearing damage when he heard the Big Bang.)

Quizmaster: Balakrishnan Satyam

  When: 3 PM, Sunday, 12th January 2013.  (Please be there by 2:45 PM for team assignments) Where: Pinstorm, Ground Floor, Swati House (Next to Kotak Bank on Linking Road), North Avenue, Santa Cruz (W). Directions: From the south: If you come north on Linking Road from Bandra to SantaCruz, you'll find a large Benetton Store on the right. At the end of that block is a Kotak Bank at the corner. Take a right and it's the next building, take the first gate and tell the sentry you've come for the quiz. From the north: If you get on to Linking Road at the airplane park end, you'll cross a HDFC Bank. A block later, you'll see a Kotak Bank on the corner - do not cross it. Take a left at that point and it's the building next to Kotak Bank.
