In 2015 the competition expanded to include participants from India and a number of off-site chapters and became the Asian Quizzing Championships (AQC).

The event was founded by Caleb Liu from Singapore and Movin Miranda from India (and a long time resident of Malaysia) with the goal of fostering friendly competition and growing interest in quizzing in the region.

The teams are selected by the National Quiz Associations of the respective member countries.

Teams of four compete in three separate rounds, with the highest cumulative score being crowned champions.

While a team event, the APQC also acknowledges the highest scorers in the first (individual) round.
