The contenders gathered from across India for the semi-final and final, with the prizes up for grabs including mountain bikes, a laptop, a tablet PC, and a smartwatch.
The quiz contest, now in its third edition, was organised by HT Labs and presented by food discovery app Slurrp and is open to children from Classes 1 to 6 (aged 5 to 11).
A total of 22,000 students registered online this year, with each then competing alongside a parent.
The aim of the quiz is to foster an engaging approach to food, nutrition and wellbeing in young people and families and to bring parents and children together to discover the joy that food can spark, said Avinash Mudaliar, CEO and co-founder of HT Labs, who hosted the semi-final round. "Food, after all, is a language that unites everyone in India," he added.
Of the 22,000, the top 100 duos faced off in preliminary on-ground contests in Delhi, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Meerut, Kanpur and Dehradun, until only 12 parent-child pairs were left standing.
