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

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.
