Billy Penn Philly Quizzo
Philly Quizzo: How well do you know this city?
Think you know a lot about Philadelphia? Our monthly quiz lets you prove it.
The 13th virtual edition of Billy Penn Philly Quizzo went down last week. More than 50 people joined us live on Zoom for the local trivia battle, cohosted by Danya Henninger and Sakeenah Benjamin.
After a few themed events, this one was back to basics — anything and everything Philadelphia, broken into three categories: past, present and future.
Players split into 18 different teams, answering questions while listening to a new mix by DJ Bounce Gawd. They were vying for bragging rights, and the grand prize of a $50 gift card to Reading Terminal Market. In the end, team Les Quizerables came out on top, with a final tally of 21/24.
Now it’s your turn. Without using Google, can you beat their high score?
To play, pick your the answers in the “Past,” “Present” and “Future” sections below, then click “Submit” and scroll up to hit “View Score” and see how you did.
