quiz bowl

Academic buzzer game

Quiz bowl is an academic competition in which teams answer questions on a wide range of subjects—literature, history, science, fine arts, and more.

Questions are read aloud, and players buzz in to answer before opponents.

The format rewards both broad knowledge and quick recall: Our school's quiz bowl team made it to nationals.
