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.
