Quizzes

Quiz show (Jeopardy style)

A game-show board of categories and point values where teams pick questions and buzz in - big energy, big fun.

Players: 8-40, in 3-6 teams
Duration: 60-75 minutes
Energy level: High
Works online: Yes

How to play - step by step

1
Build the board: pick five categories such as Movies, Science, Sports, Office Life, and Geography.
2
Form teams; the first team is picked at random to start.
3
The team chooses a category and a point value, e.g. “Science for 300”.
4
The host reads the clue; the first team to buzz in gets to answer.
5
A correct answer wins the points; a wrong answer loses them and others may try.
6
Continue until the board is cleared, then play a final wager question.

Benefits

Builds teamwork by mixing people from different departments.
Shares knowledge in a fun, low-pressure way.
Rewards curiosity rather than seniority, so everyone can contribute.
Works in the office or online with almost no budget.

What you need

A board with 5 categories x 5 point values (100-500), on slides or a whiteboard.
25 questions and answers, with the hardest at the 500-point level.
A buzzer, bell, or hand-raise rule, plus a scorekeeper.

Rules

Teams answer within five seconds of buzzing in.
The team that answered correctly picks the next clue.
A final question lets teams wager any of their points.

Scoring and winning

Points equal the value of the clue, won or lost.
The final wager can change the winner, so keep it exciting.

Variations

Make one category “Employees’ choice” with questions from the team.
Add “Daily Double” squares that let a team double their wager.
Use a template slide deck for quick setup.

Playing it online

Show the board on screen share and assign a team captain to “buzz” via chat.
Use the chat timestamps to decide who responded first.

Tips for the host

Appoint a referee separate from the host.
Keep a few spare questions for tiebreakers.

Mistakes to avoid

Questions that are too hard at every level - build a ladder from easy to difficult.
Unclear buzzing rules - agree on them before you begin.
Making it too long; 25 clues is plenty.
