About this Taarak Mehta quiz

This Taarak Mehta quiz is about the big moments of Gokuldham Society: the festivals the residents celebrate together, the trips they take, the famous visitors and the running jokes that come back season after season. The 15 questions are drawn from the show's long run on Sony SAB since 2008.

It is a family quiz first. Children will enjoy the festival and sports questions, and older fans will remember the foreign holidays and the lockdown episodes. It also works well as a fun round at a society get-together or a school event. Every answer has a short note.

Festivals are the backbone of the show. Gokuldham celebrates Navratri, Ganeshotsav, Diwali, Holi, Christmas and Lohri as one community, and many of its most watched episodes are built around them. Trips abroad, celebrity visits, sports days and the odd ghost story add the rest of the variety, and the whole society always ends up involved.
