For teams at work

A free team building quiz for work

Warm up a meeting or run a full trivia round at a team event. Share your screen, show a QR code, and everyone plays on their own phone with no app and no sign-up.

Three ways to use it at work

  • Meeting warm-up. Two or three poll and word cloud questions get everyone talking before the agenda starts.
  • Team event. A scored general knowledge round with departments as teams. Scores are averaged, so a small team can beat a big one.
  • Training check. Write questions about what you just covered, and see where people are unsure before moving on.

Running it on a video call

  1. Share your screen with the host page showing.
  2. People join from their phones by scanning the code, or by opening the join page and typing it.
  3. Read each question aloud, then talk through the answer chart together.

Keeping it comfortable

  • Choose how people appear. People can type a display name, or get a generated one if the group prefers.
  • Anonymous when it matters. For honest feedback, run a survey with no scores, and download results with no names.
  • The host stays in control. Lock joining, pause the clock, or remove anyone from the quiz.
