Duck Duck Quiz: ANU 80th anniversary trivia

05 May 2026

To celebrate 80 years of ANU, we’re bringing back Duck Duck Quiz with a special 80th anniversary edition.

Each month, we’ll drop a trivia question on our social media channels, testing your knowledge of the University’s history, milestones, people and campus. It’s quick, fun, and the perfect excuse for a brain break.

Answer correctly and you'll automatically go in the draw to win, with one overall winner receiving exclusive ANU merchandise.

The competition runs from 3 April to 14 August 2026, with the winner announced two weeks after the final question.

Think you know ANU? Stay tuned on and each month to put your ANU smarts to the test.
