WorldQuest 2007: International Success!

WorldQuest

The fourth annual WorldQuest, an internationally minded current affairs trivia (with one section dealing with Pittsburgh's place in the world), attracted 300 enthusiastic contestants in 50 teams.

The University Center for International Studies at the University of Pittsburgh answered 40 out of 40 questions correctly to win the competition, with Pitt's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs team second and Vivisimo, the local developer of the clusty.com search engine, third.

This international knowledge trivia game allows players to team-build, network, and enjoy an evening of fun, food, and friendly competition.  Use this link for a PowerPoint outline of the rules, this year's categories, and sample questions!

WorldQuest 2008 will be held October 15, 2008. Stay tuned for details!
