During the quarter of a century, the rules of the game were modified several times and the decorations were changed. But the basis remains the same: answer the questions correctly and connect the three sides of the playing field with them. The winner must not only demonstrate knowledge, but also choose the right tactics of the game.
“The AZ-quiz is a revelation for me even after years. I would never say that I will be accompanied by most of my professional career. I continue to be fascinated by how people still want to learn and supplement their knowledge, across various professions and age categories, “says moderator Aleš Zbořil.
Eva Machourková is the moderator of the competition with him. She also admits that the AZ-quiz has become a part of her life. “I really appreciate the work of the authors of the questions and the whole staff, because there is always a pleasant, positive atmosphere in the studio during filming. I’m looking forward to every shoot, “he notes. He and Aleš Zbořil have already asked the competitors two hundred and fifty thousand questions.

“I consider the AZ quiz to be family silver. And I’m glad he has his younger sibling in the form of AZ-quiz junior. Hundreds of people come to both of them, many of them wait months before standing at the gaming tables, “said Jan Souček, director of the Brno studio of the Czech Television in which the cycle is being shot.
Czech Television will commemorate the anniversary not only in the broadcast of the AZ-quiz. For fans, it prepares for example year-round competition and a meeting of so-called “T-shirts”, ie successful competitors who received an AZ-quiz T-shirt for five times the participation. The moderators in Dobrý rán on Monday, January 3, 2022 also recall the beginnings of the show.
