Panorama Trivia Game At Queens Museum Tests Your NYC Knowledge

FLUSHING, QUEENS -- New York City know-it-alls and geography nerds, now's your chance to shine. The Panorama Challenge is back.

The Queens Museum of Art will host its famed geographic trivia game night, where New Yorkers can test how much they really know about the city over its "Panorama of the City of New York". The renowned 9,335 square-foot panorama, which the museum claims is the world's largest-scale model of the city, gives sightseers a bird's eye view of NYC from a simulated 20,000-foot elevation.

And for just one night a year, it's turned into a life-sized game board for the ultimate trivia quiz on the ins, outs and history of NYC. The Queens museum announced its 11th annual Panorama Challenge will be on March 2.

Participants compete in teams of 10 - though more or less is okay, too - in a fierce competition to identify 30 locations marked on the panorama, which can be anything from city landmarks to parks, bridges, neighborhoods and more. Audio clues and laser pointers highlighting the locations lead the way, with The Levys' Unique New York tour guides on hand to guide you through them.

The challenge will, naturally, be inside the New York City Building at the Queens Museum of Art in Flushing. Tickets are available for $15 online or $20 at the door. The game begins at 7 p.m., but the fun starts at 6 p.m. when doors open.

Proceeds from admission go to Queens Museum and The City Reliquary, a civic organization museum in Brooklyn.
