How to Host Team Trivia at Work
Set up teams, explain answers, manage ties, and run a polished office quiz from one browser tab.
Create teams of manageable size
Groups of four to eight usually allow discussion without becoming a crowd around one answer. For a larger event, organise people by tables and ask each table to choose a spokesperson.
Explain the answer process
Decide whether teams will say answers, write them, or submit through chat. Give the same thinking time to every question and ask teams to lock responses before revealing the result.
Read the explanation aloud
A brief explanation gives the losing teams a satisfying resolution and prevents confusion when an answer is surprising. It also creates a natural pause before the next question appears.
Prepare one tie-breaker
Use a closest-number question that is not part of the main score. Each tied team submits one estimate, and the nearest answer wins without requiring another full quiz round.
