4 creative ideas to host successful online trivia games for Zoom
Trivia questions are a great way to challenge the brain, create fun moments, and help shape problem-solving abilities. However, it can be difficult to find trivia questions that help teams, friends, or families achieve these goals. Here, we’ve gathered some of the best and most creative ways to organize online trivia games for Zoom while keeping it fun, exciting, and educational.
A “coworker feud” trivia
A “coworker feud” trivia is an excellent way to get teams talking, break the ice, and build relationships over Zoom. Start by dividing your team into two or three groups. Have a host present random trivia questions and allow teams to compete in providing answers. Any team that comes up with the best answer wins the round. These questions can come from many different topics, from geography and pop culture to film and current affairs. It’s a great way to have teams face each other in healthy competition while exercising their brains and having fun. Teams can also use it as a way to ask personal questions and learn more about their colleagues.
Virtual Trivial Pursuit
Virtual Trivial Pursuit is a game that you can play on Zoom with your team. It is a great way to get to know your teammates (and have fun while you're at it!). The game is played by answering trivia questions with multiple choice answers. These questions can be organized in rounds, with each round comprising a question and possible answers. The first player to buzz in with the correct answer wins the round and gets to select the next question. If no one answers correctly, then the player who selected the original question gets to select another one.
Two truths and a lie
Whether you want to entertain your friends virtually or build a vibrant remote work culture, two truths and a lie is a great online game for these goals. The rules are simple: each person takes a turn telling two truths and one lie about themselves. Other players then try to guess which statement is the lie. The game can be played in many different ways, but it’s always best if you have at least three people playing. If your team is large, you can use breakout rooms to create smaller groups to make the session manageable and enjoyable. Aside from being a great way to get to know your remote workers better, it’s also an excellent activity to have some fun and break the ice.
Family Feud trivia
Family Feud is a game show that has been one of the most popular for more than 30 years and it’s still going strong - and can be played online with your remote team. It’s a great way to have fun with your family, remote work colleagues, and friends on Zoom while still testing your knowledge on different topics like history, geography, and entertainment. To play a game of Family Feud, you need to give the most popular answers to the questions that are asked by the host. You can do this as a team or individually. The team who gets the most points wins! When organized well over Zoom, this game can build team spirit, help remote coworkers learn more about working together, and encourage bonding.
