Avinash Mudaliar, one of the quizmasters of ClassAct 2022 said, “Personally, I am happy with the global turnout for the quiz. ClassAct Prelims saw more than 30 thousand students playing it live at a time and it was a delight At HT School, our vision is to create a platform to generate knowledge, which is fun and engaging for children… and this is just one step in that direction. There will be many more such events in this direction. The quiz is not over yet. I am looking forward to see these young minds showcasing their skills in the Republic Day finale.”
Prelims was a standalone event and included a plethora of subjects like History, Science, Geography, Arts & Entertainment, Literature and Language & Culture. It consisted of a mix of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and type-in questions and was hosted completely online. The questions were time bound, and each contestant had to answer 50 questions.

The prelims started at 11 am in which the students used the link from the HT school website. For those who could not make it to the prelims, here is a glimpse of the easiest, toughest and funniest questions, ‘Which two colors would you mix to get the orange colour?’ “Which country’s flag has its largest export and shares its name with a trick in soccer, in which a player swings the ball between the opponent’s legs.”
