Just Kidding at Symphony Space is proud to present once again The Big Family Quiz Thing, a fast-moving, interactive live quiz game for adults and their children (ages 8 and up) on Sunday, January 22, at 2 p.m.

The whole family will work as a team competing against other families during this multimedia, live quiz show spectacular, featuring fast and funny trivia. Quizmaster extraordinaire "EdP" (Eric de Picciotto) will lead the fun, and everyone becomes a part of this game of skill and good humor. Plus, the audience members may win loads of great prizes.

Over the course of six rounds, children and their parents team up to show off their knowledge of topics including history, sports, art, animals, geography, pop culture, and more.
