The young children assembled in teams and the Quiz was curated and hosted by WZCC Youth Team - Jasmine Tavadia and Urvaksh Tantra.

The enthusiasm of the kids was simply amazing, and the winning team "Team Braniacs" consisting of Rayaan Irani, Tiyan Debara, Roxanne Dubash all received educational books courtesy of Mr. Porus Guzder. The main event of the evening was the always competitive Adult’s Quiz.

The final round where teams got to select their preferred category questions with double bonus points was ever engaging. Movie themed posters, community specific questions and world politics were all brought into play across the rounds. At the end of the evening - "Team G - Ghelsappa Parsis" comprising Charmaine Taraporvala, Marzban Pithawalla, Daraius Antia and Jimmy Dadrewala won the quiz contest by a narrow margin to the runners up - "The A Team" consisting of Khushru Khandhadia, Mozard Antia, Kaizad Pithawalla and Goolnaz Debara. The spot prizes for the round of Trivia open to the audience, was won by Keki Tavadia, Anaissa Irani, Roshni Taraporvala & Wahbeez Wankadia.

As always, no event is complete without a scrumptious dinner, which was enjoyed by one and all. Just before the evening was rounded off, an exciting video presentation of the world famous Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum was shown to the members as it is one of the next planned activities for the WZCC-ME chapter towards education and cultural enrichment.
