Everyone loves a bit of trivia, and this is a fast fun and easy way to have a round of trivia, whether face-to-face, or remote.
How to do it
Trivia games are great to play directly after a break, or mid-way through a long meeting or offsite, as an energizer. For this game, you’ll obviously need a bunch of trivia questions and answers. Multiple choice questions are more fun.
You can prepare the questions and answers yourself ahead of time, and do it the old skool way (which is still fun), or just use an online version like TriviaMaker.com to do it for you.
You will need to register for an account (it’s free) and have a play around first. The free version has enough to get you going, with lots of different games and categories (#COVID-19 trivia, anyone?). You only need to display it in your web browser, and share your screen so that everyone else can see the questions and multiple-choice answers.
Variations
It’s always interesting having trivia questions based on team members or your organisation history. You can do this remotely (or face-to-face), by preparing some questions plus multiple-choice answers in advance, and then putting each question and answer-set as a message in Slack.
Everyone then puts the letter of which answer they think is correct (A, B, C or D) as a thread. This makes it easier to score at the end!
