General trivia
Engage in some friendly competition while learning something new!
How to
Preparation
- Choose a theme and a platform (Brightful has lots of themes to choose from, but we’ve had success using a PowerPoint deck and survey tool like Typeform).
- Develop questions with 4 possible answers.
- Create a separate answer sheet for your own reference.
The game
- Inform the group of what to expect. For example:
- How many rounds of questions you’ll be asking
- How to report their answers.
- What prizes, if any, you’re offering.
- Read the questions out loud and give people 10 seconds to guess the answer.
- Tally up the scores at the end and announce the winner on the call.
What we like about it
We played Halloween-themed trivia, with a bonus music round where people had to guess the Halloween song and artist for 2 points. It was a success for many reasons:
- We were able to bring together in-person and virtual folks
- We all walked away learning at least something new about Halloween
- We love friendly competition at Habanero, and this definitely got people in the spirit
Tips
- Brightful has lots of themes to choose from, such as general knowledge, animals, history, movie, pop culture and sports.
