MKULTRA is an open tournament first held in 2015 Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. Conceived by Emma Laslett, MKULTRA is characterised by its greater emphasis on popular culture compared to most quizbowl tournaments, being given a similar weighting in the distribution to more 'classic' quizbowl subjects such as science, history and literature. The tournament was originally held annually at York House in Milton Keynes from 2015-19. For its sixth edition in 2023, MKULTRA moved to larger premises at Denbigh School, with 26 teams in attendance.
