What is WorldQuest?
WorldQuest, an international knowledge
competition invented by the World Affairs
Council of Charlotte and has become a signature event
for many World Affairs Councils around the
country. Teams from local businesses,
schools and alumni associations compete.
Category questions include international
current events, geography, history and more.
A light buffet dinner with dessert and
coffee is also provided.
Who Can Play?
Each team of 8 players is formed by
businesses, schools, organizations, or other
self-determined groups.
Individuals without a group will be assigned
to a team by the Council.
How is WorldQuest Played?
This fast-paced game is played in 7
rounds of 10 questions each with 30-seconds
for each question. Each team collaborates on
the answers and submits them at the end of
each round.
What Do You Win?
Medals and trophies will be awarded for the
teams in 1st, 2nd and
3rd place. Additionally, there will be a
raffle drawing during the competition for
various donated prizes such as gift
certificates and other special items.
