Buzzword Special Events from NAQT

Post by Important Bird Area »

NAQT is pleased to announce a new group of special single-subject events for our online platform, Buzzword.

Our first special event, a film tournament read by Ken Jennings, is available through Tuesday, June 16. [Edit: the film tournament is now complete; thanks to everyone who played!]


In subsequent weeks, we'll have special events focusing on American literature, sports, world history, and food and drink. Registration for upcoming events is now open.

The film tournament has a five-question sample game; the others do not.
