Office-party quiz budget: DIY or a ready-made company show?
For the quiz activity alone, a self-run paper round can use materials you already have; Trivana's single company show is $149 USD before applicable tax. Compare the time and format as well as the purchase price. Food, venue, prizes and equipment belong in separate lines of your party budget.

What does an office-party quiz cost?
DIY paper quiz
No quiz-platform purchase is required if you write and read the questions yourself. Use your own estimate for printing, prizes and staff time. One organiser must prepare, check, present and score it.
One company show — $149 USD
A 10-question show from your brief and website. Voiced by a host you pick, in their Christmas look. Read and edit every question before it's built. Share link, big-screen link, invite message and printable guide. One rebuild after delivery. Paid once; check the offer page for current availability and applicable tax.
Three company shows — $399 USD
Three 10-question shows, no question asked twice. Each released on a day you pick. Voiced by a host you pick, in their Christmas look. Read and edit every question before it's built. Share links, invite messages and a printable guide. This is a sequence of three shows, not a longer version of the single-show package.
Whole-company live show — $999 USD
One 40-minute show for up to 300 players, with a company-specific script, rehearsal link and run-of-show guide. It starts at the chosen time; your emcee uses the guide. Confirm the event date and delivery details on the offer page.
Count the work that remains in either option
A paid show reduces the question-writing and show-building work, but an organiser still supplies accurate facts, chooses suitable material and rehearses the event. A DIY quiz gives you direct control over every slide or answer card, and gives you responsibility for writing, checking, presenting and scoring them.
Put a time estimate beside four tasks: collect facts, make the round, review it, rehearse and run it. Use your team's actual estimate rather than an industry average. A one-hour difference matters differently to a volunteer organiser and a team with an assigned event budget.
A fictional 30-person activity budget
Quiz show
$149 for one company show, before applicable tax.
Prizes
$30 assumed allowance, chosen just for this example. Use zero if bragging rights are enough.
Printing
$0 assumed because the group already has the required devices and shares the invitation digitally.
Room and equipment
$0 incremental cost assumed because the office already has the room, screen, speakers and internet. Verify this before adopting the example.
Activity subtotal
$179 before applicable tax. Food, drink, transport, staff time and any new equipment are excluded.
Budget headroom
Add a contingency amount your approver agrees to. It is not included in the subtotal, and it should not quietly become extra purchases.
Per-person arithmetic is a budget aid
Dividing the single-show price by 15 attendees gives $9.93 each; by 30 gives $4.97; by 50 gives $2.98. These are arithmetic examples, not per-seat prices or claims about package capacity. The checkout charges the package price, and the selected show's audience limits still apply.
Do the same calculation with your realistic attendance estimate. Keep food and venue costs separate so that an expensive meal does not make a modest quiz look expensive, or a cheap room hide a costly activity.
Choose based on the event you are actually running
Step 1
Choose DIY when you want to write and present it
A small group and a confident organiser can have a good time with answer sheets and checked questions. Start with the free planning kit and company question prompts.
Step 2
Choose one made-for-you show for one party
If the goal is one company-specific activity, inspect the worked example, test its sound and question style, then decide whether the single-show package fits.
Step 3
Choose three shows only for a real series
Name the three release dates and the audience for each. A package is useful when you will use all its shows, not simply because its per-show division is lower.
Step 4
Choose the whole-company format for its event scope
The $999 option is a different format with a 40-minute programme, a rehearsal and capacity up to 300. Include a person to run the room and follow the guide. It does not mean a Trivana staff member attends your event.
Before paying, confirm these four things
Check the package's current scope and availability, your event date, what the venue already provides, and who owns the rehearsal. The offer page is the source for current delivery and checkout terms; this article does not reserve a date or add services to a package.
For the wider event, put food, venue, accessibility arrangements, transport and any alcohol-related arrangements into the main party plan. This guide budgets the quiz activity, not the entire office party.
Office-party quiz budget questions
Can I run an office quiz without buying software?
Yes. Write and check your own questions, read them aloud and use paper answer sheets. Account for preparation, printing, prizes and the person running it.
Is Trivana's company show a subscription?
The office-party packages are paid once. The single company show is currently $149 USD before applicable tax; check the office-party page for availability and checkout details.
Does the price include food, a venue or a human host?
No. The package supplies the stated digital show and materials. You arrange the party, venue, equipment and the organiser or emcee who runs the room.
Is the example budget a quote?
No. The prize and equipment allowances are fictional planning assumptions. Only the Trivana package prices come from the current offer catalogue, and applicable tax is additional.
Choose the show that fits the plan
Compare the current packages, try the fictional-company sample and confirm the delivery details before buying.
