Quiz Kids Challenge aired on Game Show Network. The series was a production of The Guber-Peters Company and distributed by Columbia Pictures Television. "The Quiz Kids Challenge" was a different take on the original "Quiz Kids" concept. Instead of a panel of children answering trivia question posed to them by a series of adults, the show was conducted as a head-to-head competition where a team of three adults was pitted against a team of "Quiz Kids", schoolchildren between the ages of twelve and fourteen. A new adult team competed on each show while a team of Quiz Kids played for an entire week.
