Let the Games Begin!

The 2024 season of Granite State Challenge begins on Thursday, February 8 at 7:30 pm on NHPBS.

The Road to Granite State Challenge Round One

On Saturday, November 18, 2023, 32 public, charter, and private high school teams from across New Hampshire gathered at Plymouth High School to take a 100-question qualifying test (test with answers). Up to six students per school took the test as a team. The 14 teams with the highest scores qualified to play on Granite State Challenge. Four additional teams were chosen at random from the pool of teams that hadn't played on Granite State Challenge in the past two years. These four teams met at NHPBS on December 16, 2023, and played in two non-televised wildcard games, the winners of those two games, Belmont High and Newfound Regional High moved on to fill out the roster of 16 teams playing in the 2024 season of Granite State Challenge.
