Trivia Master Challenge

Use the following game as a fun icebreaker or even for the main meeting element. Remember, getting to know one another happens as we laugh and learn about one another.

List the area are you most experienced and or knowledgeable from which you will draft two trivia questions. Once you have come up with your area of expertise, write out a question and decide if you will ask it as an “easy” question or a “hard” question. Note that you get 3 points for a hard question.

Your area of expertise:

Easy Question

Come up with a trivia question from the above area, that the average person should know. You get 2 points for each person who knows the correct answer but at least 2 people must get the question wrong or you receive no points. So you’ve got to pick a question that is easy, but not too easy. After asking the question, and giving a moment for folks to write down their answer, give the group the correct answer. Ask for a show of hands of those who got the question wrong. If at least 2 people answered incorrectly you can move on to count all the correct answers and multiply the number by two. That total is your score.

Hard Question

Now come up with a question that anyone with the same interest may know but the average person likely would not know. You get 3 points for each person who does not know the correct answer but at least 2 people must get the question correct so you can’t pick an impossible question to ask. After asking the question, and giving a moment for folks to write down their answer, give the group the correct answer. Ask for a show of hands of those who got the question correct. If at least 3 people answered correctly you can move on to count all the incorrect answers and multiply the number by three. That total is your score.

Each person in the group receives also receives one point for a correct answer. The game runs on the honor system. You may not give incorrect answers purposefully.
