Corporate Trivia Event FAQ

A virtual trivia event is a live, hosted quiz conducted online where teams compete by submitting answers digitally.

Participants join via a video platform such as Zoom, where a professional quiz host presents the questions in real time.

Scores are updated throughout the event, creating a competitive and engaging experience.

Virtual trivia events are ideal for remote teams and can be run for participants located anywhere in the world.

Between 10-500.

We have hosted successful events for 10 people and 400+ people! Less than 10 isn’t ideal, and our custom events can handle 1000, or as many as your software allows!

If you have 25-99 people, that’s the sweet spot for the virtually hosted events. Webinar ice-breaker events are suitable for 500 people or more.

Note that sometimes many people in one household will join as a family, which technically counts as one screen. Or perhaps you have people in an office meeting room all playing together on one team.

Unsure? Just ask us!

People can form teams or play as individual households. You can do either!

For work department crowds  where people know each other, playing as teams can promote team building and create some friendly rivalry. This takes a little more preparation as teams have to be set up in advance.

Playing as individuals is easier to set up and works for groups of any number. Attendees still benefit from the big group atmosphere.

In cases such as webinars, conference or when attendees don’t know each other very well, playing as individuals is more successful.

If playing on teams (more set up, requires two devices for best results): 

So the event can run as smoothly as possible, please arrange players in equal sized teams (4-6 per team) and ask them set up a line of communication for discussing their answers before the event starts. For part of the event, they will need to be able to discuss answers with their team members. For the second part they will not need to use this set up.

– This could be on MS Teams, Webex, Whatsapp, Slack, Google Sheets, an internal messaging system, phone, or equivalent. If they have two devices this is ideal though if only one they can switch the computer camera between the platforms to create mini break out roomsy

Absolutely! People can play from the workplace or their home. 

Many events these days have a mixture of office and remote workers involved.

We can ensure the challenges work for those at work and at home. Please let us know when booking.

We fill the time with a variety of elements designed to keep people engaged and interested!

A general knowledge quiz round
‘Name-That-Tune’ music round
Game show elements
Interactive challenges people do in their own homes
Against the clock bonuses
Spot prizes (if you wish to award them)
Laughter
Jokes
And more!

One person on the team will be the ‘answer form filler’ and be given access to a simple Google form. If playing as individuals, every household will have one answer sheet.

At the end of the quiz, players will submit their answer sheet. We will be able to collect all the entries and put them in ascending order, and can reveal the scores/winners.

In the case the Google form is blocked on your systems, we have an alternative – a Jotform sheet.

If neither works, pen and paper can do as a very last resort!

The host will mute all participants so you can discuss your answers with only your team via the other communication line without everyone in the main Zoom room hearing what you are saying.

Unfortunately, break out rooms don’t work for this, as the host can not be in all break out rooms simultaneously. Also, when you have 50+ people, managing the break out rooms becomes very fiddly and time consuming!

It’s actually more fun – as people can see their colleagues cheering/groaning/laughing. The atmosphere is much better and they get the benefit of being in their small teams as well as being part of the big crowd, like they would at an ‘in-person’ event.

Sadly there isn’t time to offer everyone a demo run-through. We typically find that almost every question we get asked is found in this FAQ page. We have a demo video here and testimonials for your peace of mind.

We have test links to ensure the technology works, and we have now run 500+ virtual events on various platforms so we can assure you the technology is in working order before the event happens.

We put more energy into the tiny camera on our computers for your benefit than you’ve seen since Covid-19 kicked off. Allow us to bring a game show atmosphere, laughs and banter to your remote workers’ homes. This is our wheel house! 

Wherever you are in the World, we can entertain you! All you need is an internet connection. Our events are in English, but do not contain pop culture references that only certain nationalities would know. This is globally friendly knowledge!

Operating events in London, Toronto, Seattle, Singapore, Stockholm and Hamburg, to name a few – we tailor our content for an international crowd. Suitable for people who have been in the country for 3 months or 60 years!

We have a guide to elevating your event that has lots of ideas.

In due course you’ll receive a flashy invite to send around your attendees, and a guide with extra celebratory ideas. Cocktail recipes, dressing up ideas, themed team names, suggestions to make your Zoom screen as festive as possible etc.

For festive events, you could include prizes for best dressed, worst festive outfit, best Zoom background, best Christmas spirit… we can give you some ideas if you like!

We can help you give your crowd a really good time!
