Cosmic Quiz

Take top prize in a dynamic evening of surprise rounds, pop-up performances and laid-back cosmic vibes, where you'll be challenged on all things space and artificial intelligence.

Compete on your own, or in a team of up to 4, in an out-of-this-world event produced in collaboration with The Quiz Team, featuring specially commissioned content from The Poetry Place.

The quiz will take off at 20.00, but doors will open at 18.30 giving you exclusive after-hours access to the Revolution Manchester gallery and Experiment, our hands-on interactive gallery.

Plus, Power Up will be open from 18.30–19.45. Upgrade your ticket with a Power Up pass for only £3 and level up your evening in the ultimate gaming experience. Upgrade tickets are limited, so book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Specially curated by STEM champion, social entrepreneur and computer scientist, Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE, and the UK Space Agency's Head of Space Exploration, Libby Jackson OBE, the Cosmic Quiz is part of the Festival Curated Weekender.

Please note: The quiz is played using your mobile phone. Please bring a fully charged device and/or fully charged portable charger. Ensure your smartphone can connect to your data (the museum is well served with 4G/5G coverage). WiFi access if available, if required.
