Designed for team play, this trivia works brilliantly in virtual meetings (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet), live streams (YouTube Live, Twitch, Kick), classrooms, or in-person gatherings. Split into teams, nominate a captain, and race the clock on multiple-choice prompts that spark debate and friendly rivalry.
