Five questions about the year you shared
1. Which project reached its launch milestone first this year?
Use an announced milestone with a clear date. Choose three other real project names for the alternatives.
2. What was the theme of our last team event?
Choose an event most of the team heard about. A photo or invitation can supply the answer.
3. Which month did we move into our current workspace?
Use this only if the move was relevant to the whole team; swap it for a shared online milestone if you are remote.
4. Which team tradition did we introduce this year?
Give the same short description everyone saw when it was announced.
5. What name did we choose for our latest internal demo day?
Check the final name rather than an early working title.
Five approachable questions for new starters
6. Which name belongs to our regular team meeting?
Choose an everyday detail people can learn quickly.
7. Which channel is used for team celebrations?
Use the visible channel name; leave messages and members' details out.
8. What is the name of our shared meeting space?
Remote teams can use the name of a recurring virtual event.
9. Which of these is one of our publicly stated values?
Use the current wording on a source everyone can access.
10. What comes next in our familiar team sign-off?
Keep it friendly and recognizable. Skip this if there is no shared phrase.
Five opt-in questions about the people
11. Who submitted this favourite song for the party playlist?
Ask for permission to reveal the submitter and use only songs they volunteered.
12. Who chose this desk object for the guessing round?
Invite a photo of one object with private screens, addresses and badges out of view.
13. Which hobby matches this volunteered description?
Ask for an ordinary hobby the person is comfortable discussing at work.
14. Which snack won our party poll?
Run a quick anonymous poll and use its actual result.
15. Which team outing won the vote for next time?
Make the answer a suggestion people chose, rather than implying a booking has been made.
Five picture and memory prompts
16. Which event is shown in this team photo?
Use a photo approved for the party and offer recognizable alternatives.
17. Which of these four designs was our event poster?
Keep names and confidential project information out of the images.
18. What was missing from this meeting-room photo?
Photograph a staged scene, remove one harmless object, and ask the room to spot it.
19. Which caption did the team choose for this picture?
Collect captions in advance and record the winning choice.
20. Which month did this shared celebration happen?
Use a widely shared event and check the date before writing the alternatives.
Turn the prompts into a usable company brief
Step 1
Choose ten, not all twenty
Pick four broadly recognizable questions, four shared memories and two harder details. Swap anything that excludes a department, remote staff or recent starters.
Step 2
Write the answer beside each question
Keep a simple sheet with Question, Correct answer, Source, Permission and Alternatives columns. A source might be an approved announcement or the person's own answer. Do not ask a generator to invent company facts.
Step 3
Have a teammate check the wording
Ask someone outside your department to try the questions. If two answers could be right, rewrite the question. If the explanation takes longer than the question, simplify it.
Step 4
Choose your delivery format
For a do-it-yourself round, read the checked questions and collect answers on paper. For a Trivana company show, start at office-party packs, supply the requested brief and review the draft before approving it. The pack page gives the current scope, timing and price.
A suggested 30-minute office quiz plan
Minutes 0–4: settle in
Make mixed teams, explain how answers are collected and agree on scoring before you begin.
Minutes 4–12: an approachable warm-up
Use a short general or holiday round so every team can get started. Keep the volume comfortable and check remote guests can hear.
Minutes 12–24: your company round
Play the checked questions about your year. Give teams time to discuss; the conversation is part of the event.
Minutes 24–30: reveal and celebrate
Finish the scores, use a prepared tie-breaker if needed and invite teams to share their favourite moment. Leave time for the next part of the party.
Make the invitation easy to pass on
Say what people will do, how long the activity will take and what they need. For example: 'Thirty minutes, mixed teams, questions about our year. Bring your team name; we'll explain the rest.' Test the chosen play format on the actual screen or call before promising guests a specific joining method.
For a wider activity menu, see office holiday party games. For a video-call event, use the remote team trivia guide. Choose the format first, then send the invitation that matches it.
Company quiz questions
How do we make company trivia fair?
Mix departments, include everyday questions new starters can answer, and avoid making every round about founders or long-serving staff. Use volunteered details and checked answers.
Can Trivana make the company questions for us?
The office-party page explains the company-show packs, the brief you supply and the draft you review. Supply approved company facts; a public trivia generator cannot know your private milestones.
Should we use confidential company information?
Use only information approved for the guests who will see the quiz. Skip private customer details, individual performance, salaries and anything that could embarrass a colleague.
