Questions about the quiz
Is there a Christmas movie quiz I can play right now?
Make one in the studio: the topic is already filled in with the classic Christmas films, so you can change the list, pick a host and play it from one link. The hosted round at the top of this page is a family Christmas warm-up, not a film round.
Is the Christmas quiz free to play?
Yes. The hosted round on this page plays in your browser with no account and no download. Playing is free. A new account starts with 500 coins; a show is 50 coins with 5 questions included.
Can we play it together on the TV?
Yes. Open the round with "Play on the TV" on a laptop connected to the TV. The host comes up with a room code and a QR code, everyone joins on their own phone at trivana.ai/join, and the scores appear on the big screen at the end.
Are the answers on this page checked?
Yes. Every answer was checked against a published source before the page went up, and the source is linked under each answer. If you think one is wrong, tell us at [email protected] and we will look again.
Do the questions give away the films' endings?
No. They are about who stars, where each film is set and who made it. Nothing on this page spoils a plot.
