What is Synapse
Curiosity, knowledge and fun at one junction
A homegrown quiz competition built on a love for quizzing and for the Millennium City. We don’t reward mugging up. Every question is made to be enjoyable and workable, so each one teaches something new about something familiar.
- Questions that reward lateral thinking and common sense
- Buzzer, audio-visual, grid and themed rounds
- Audience-friendly, so everyone in the hall plays along
