Trivia Throwdown is a sports quiz spiced up with the flair of professional wrestling, with power ups that will make it not just a contest of wits, but of strategy as well.

Popular quiz night personality and certified Mensa genius Ramon Lorenzo will serve as the event’s quiz master while Inquirer Sports beat reporter will be the host.

Trivia Throwdown will run for a full year, with four legs that will include a grand finale in December. Five teams of two contestants each will compete to win each leg and qualify for the December event.
