Planetfall is a series of question sets written by the University School of Nashville's quizbowl team and head-edited by Eric Mukherjee. The set is notable for its high quality and attempt to incentivize the use of MODAQ to collect advanced stats (which earns a discount on the mirror fees). The set's name is not, in fact, a reference to the Infocom or Paradox games of that title.

Planetfall I

The first iteration of Planetfall was mirrored in the 2023-4 season and was played by 308 teams across 23 mirrors. The questions were regular difficulty, though longer than typical regular difficulty fare.
