Trivia Quiz on 1980s Music Part 6
Tuesday, October 28, 2025
A ready-made music and pop-culture quiz that you can use in virtual and in-person events (Zoom, Teams, YouTube Live, Twitch, conferences, meetings, classrooms, etc.)
Turn up the neon nostalgia with 50 rapid‑fire questions celebrating synth-pop, new wave, power ballads, and chart-topping icons of the 1980s. Perfect for team play, mixing casual fans and die-hard chart buffs alike.
Welcome to 1980s Music Part 6—a team-based throwback packed with chart trivia, lyric IDs, one-hit wonders, and iconic soundtrack moments from the decade of big hair and bigger hooks. Ideal for office socials, pub-style trivia nights, classroom icebreakers, or live streams, you can run this quiz seamlessly on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, YouTube Live, Twitch, Kick, and more. Split your group into teams, nominate a host, and play across 4–5 rounds for 45–70 minutes; the difficulty is mixed so every player can contribute. Use the built-in multiple-choice options for quick pacing, set a timer per question (20–30 seconds works great), and enable a short leaderboard break every few questions to keep the energy high. For fairness, have one answer captain per team, and prepare a tie-breaker (closest year or song-length guess) if needed. Works perfectly as a standalone game or as part of a retro series, and it can be duplicated with a single click to customize round order, timing, or bonus challenges.
