Granite State Challenge

Are You Ready for the Challenge?

GRANITE STATE CHALLENGE is looking for high school teams to participate in one of the longest-running high school quiz shows on TV!

SAVE THIS DATE: Sunday, November 18, 2018

That's when we're holding our qualifying event, GRANITE STATE CHALLENGE SUPER SUNDAY, at Manchester Community College. School teams of up to six players (from grades 9 - 12) will take a written test to qualify for one of the 14 places in the 2019 season's matches.

Four participating teams will be selected at random from a pool of schools that have not participated in on-air matches in the last two seasons. Those teams will compete in two non-televised games to determine the final two teams to compete on-air in the 2019 season.
