What is ACADEMIC WORLDQUEST?

Academic WorldQuest is an exciting game of international trivia for high school students, played in teams of four, with 4 rounds of seven questions. Answers are submitted by teams, not individuals. It’s a great way to test your knowledge of international issues. Anyone can participate free of charge and teams can be formed by schools, individuals or SWAC clubs!
