Why it works as a party game
Trivia is the party game that lets quiet people win. Online, a typed answer is fairer than a shouted one, so the whole group can play.
How to play
- Pick four rounds of five questions: one easy, one local, one music, one wild card.
- Read the question, then start a 20-second timer. Answers sent after the timer do not count.
- Teams of two or three submit one answer. Solo players can still play; they are a team of one.
- Score one point per correct answer. Break a tie with a single sudden-death question.
Hosting tips
- Write the questions yourself. A shared screen of a random quiz site stalls while ads load.
- Say the answer out loud after every question so the next one starts clean.
- Stop at 20 questions. A fifth round is when people open another tab.
