Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I run team trivia games at work?
There are many reasons why you should run trivia games at work. Below, we discuss some of the most significant ones:
- Trivia games help everyone in the office relax, get to know one another better, and have fun. They’re great for lengthy team-building weekends, but also when everyone just wants to take a short break from their hectic workday.
- They’re easy to host and everyone can take part in them.
- Trivia games work as a great social tool. They’re an entertaining way for coworkers to catch up with peers they haven’t had the chance to communicate with in a while or perhaps meet new colleagues.
- Trivia games are great for new hires, as a way to welcome them into the team with an informal and entertaining event.
- They provide a solid basis for collaboration. This encourages team members to discuss matters together, make unified decisions, listen to others’ ideas, and so on.
- Trivia games support one’s cognitive development and expand one’s decision-making capacity.
- Trivia games can be a great cause of excitement. Cheering on the winners, guessing the right answer, and getting one’s suggestions acknowledged within the group brings about a dopamine rush, which is even higher wwhen a team wins.
- Finally, trivia games are a nice break from the norm. If you’ve had your employees working on a lengthy project, attending important meetings with new clients, or you’ve been facing some business challenges lately, why not suggest a trivia game? Not only will you help your employees unwind, but you’ll end up motivating them more to do their job once they’re back to their daily working schedule.
How do I run my next team trivia night?
Although everyone seems to enjoy attending trivia nights, few enjoy actually planning them. But once you know the right steps, and what needs to be done and prioritized, you’ll be able to organize your next trivia night seamlessly.
Step 1.
First and foremost, decide whether you’re running a virtual trivia night or an in-person one. This is very important, as obviously the organization process will vary depending on the trivia format.
Namely, if you opt for an online trivia game, you need to find a suitable video conferencing platform, and perhaps even check some technicalities with your IT team to make sure everything runs smoothly during the night.
If you decide on an in-person trivia game night, on the other hand, you need to pick a venue. Of course, the office is always an option, but oftentimes, employers try to make things more dynamic and versatile for their employees, and therefore, they might opt for another location, such as a bar or a cafe.
Step 2.
Once you’ve made up your mind, schedule a date and time and let everyone know. You might even send a survey around with a few date choices and have everyone pick their preferred time slot(s). Also, insist on getting a response from everyone you’ve invited - knowing well in advance how many attendees you might expect will help you pick trivia games suitable for your teams’ size.
Step 3.
Next, focus on the theme. What kind of trivia game are you planning on hosting? Is it a Halloween edition? Easter trivia? Christmas games?
With that said, choose the theme based on something your team will resonate with, or simply keep things more general instead of focusing on a specific theme.
The theme goes hand in hand with the trivia games. So, what types of trivia games are you considering? Take a look at the following suggestions:
- Random Trivia Generator;
- TriviaNerd;
- TriviaHub;
- QuizBreaker;
- Crowdpurr;
- Trivia Crack;
- GameApart, and so on.
Step 4.
Share the game rules before you actually start the trivia game night. This can save you from any unnecessary arguments as the game progresses. When we say rules, we mean paying attention to things such as group sizes, instructions, what is (not) allowed to be done during the game, how many points each team gets for a correct answer, and so on. You might even have some specific rule suggestions, such as everyone turning their phones off during the game, for instance.
Step 5.
Don’t forget to keep score, and this is when we should suggest hiring a moderator (it could be someone from your HR team, for example). You need someone to host the entire game, state the rules, see whether the players are truly following them, monitor their scores, see if there’s some cheating going on, and so on.
When it comes to the scores, make sure to have some tiebreaker questions/games with you just in case.
Step 6.
Finally, give prizes and awards to the winning team(s). You can provide the teams with some free lunch, gift cards, vouchers, a day off from work when they need it, a goody bag, and so on. Although trivia games are rewarding on their own, giving out actual rewards will take your trivia night to the next level.
How do I pick the right team trivia name?
Sometimes, having many choices can make you feel overwhelmed and quite indecisive (only now, we managed to cover 300 names, so you get the point).
However, once you understand what you’re looking for and the kind of name you should consider for a specific trivia game night, picking the right team trivia name should be fairly easy.
Here are some steps you can follow in the process.
-
Since a team’s name is basically the team’s identity, what kind of identity do you and your team want to adopt? What kind of impression do you hope to leave with your name? Regardless of whether you’re playing trivia during a family night, a team-building event, a reunion, or a casual meet-up with friends, good team trivia names can make the whole competition much more entertaining.
-
Make sure the team trivia name corresponds to the trivia game you’re planning on playing. For instance, if you’re attending a Christmas trivia event, we suggest that you consider some of the following names we included, such as: Do They Know It’s Quizmas? (in the Music Trivia Team Names) or Quizmas Season (in the Pop Culture-Inspired Team Trivia Names). If you’re hosting a Game of Thrones game, it’d obviously make sense to look for corresponding names in the Game of Thrones Trivia Team Names section, and so on.
-
Consult your team members. Which names do they fancy? What kind of team trivia names do they resonate with? You might even suggest voting and choosing the name most players voted for.
Also, keep a list of the names you’ve used so far (for instance, if you’re frequently running trivia game nights in the office, keep a list on the wall so that anyone can see it). Try to use as many names as possible and make sure each time each team opts for a different name.
Final Words
All in all, choosing team trivia names for your next trivia night can be a fun and enjoyable experience - especially if you have access to cool team names (which you do now).
From pub trivia names, funny trivia names, and pop-culture inspired names, to Harry Potter and Game of Thrones trivia names, you now know we have you covered for whatever trivia game night you’re hosting.
And if you end up opting for another theme, we hope our team trivia names list is inspiring enough to help you come up with additional ones.
