How to play Trivia

Setting up a Trivia game is easy to do and quick to do. In most cases, you don’t need much to start a trivia game.

• Decide what format you want the game to be played in. Popular formats include pen and paper, tablet/smartphone-based, or a hybrid of both.
• Come up with the trivia questions and answers. Pick a diverse range to keep each round interesting and ensure they’re accurate.
• Designate someone as the host/MC: they will be responsible for keeping the flow of the game going; announcing questions, ensuring everyone has an attempt at answering etc.
• Split everyone into teams (how many per team is up to you). Or, if you want a ‘winner takes all’ setup, everyone can play solo. Start the first round when everyone’s ready.
• When a team/player correctly answers a question, they score a point.
• The team that answers the most questions correctly wins!
