You need smarts and nerves of steel to take on The Chase quiz master Shaun Wallace, but Kiwis will get the chance to do so in November, when he visits Aotearoa.
Shaun Wallace, the professional quizzer know as “the Dark Destroyer” on The Chase, will return to Aotearoa in November for a quiz tour.
Hosted in partnership with Cure Kids and Sky’s Believe it Or Not, the tour will see Wallace hosting a series of Cure Kids Quiz Nights with allprofits from the events being donated to the charity.
Eight quizzes, hosted by New Zealand’s largest provider of weekly pub quizzes, trivia and quiz nights, will be held in locations including Christchurch, Invercargill, Wairarapa, Mount Maunganui and Pukekohe.
Tickets to all events are on sale now and can be purchased from Ticketmaster.
“I love Kiwis, they are very good quizzers, and have always made me feel welcome, and Cure Kids is a charity straight from my heart too. See you soon, Aotearoa!”
Cure Kids engagement lead, Will Hall, who will MC the 2025 quizzes, says the charity is delighted to be teaming up with Wallace and Believe it or Not on the tour.
