A big-screen scene for every holiday
Each scene turns the lobby, every question, the answer and the winners into one painted place, with your game on its boards.
Christmas Trivia: Holiday Village
A snowy village at night: guests join at the village gate, questions appear in the toy workshop, answer choices are wrapped gifts and the winners take the sleigh stage. Made for Christmas and the winter holidays, from the office party to the family living room.

Halloween Trivia: Haunted Manor Party
A friendly haunted manor throwing a Halloween ball, from the foyer to the grand staircase, with candy-wrapper answer tiles and drifting embers. Family-friendly, so it works for an office costume party or a school Halloween event.

Thanksgiving Trivia: Thanksgiving Dinner
A handmade torn-paper dining room: the question goes on the menu board, the answer reveal sits at the turkey centerpiece and the winners stand at the pie table. Made for Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving and the team lunch before the long weekend.

Hosting tips
How to run holiday trivia people talk about
- Not everyone at a work party celebrates the same holidays. Mix rounds like holidays around the world, food and films, and keep religion out of the questions; a comfortable room is a louder room.
- Make teams of four to six and mix departments or tables on purpose. Small teams keep everyone talking, and mixing means the new hires don't end up as a team of strangers in the corner.
- Start the game about 45 minutes into the evening, once people have food and a drink but before the room splits into small groups or people start heading home. Plan on roughly a minute per question, including the answer reveal and the banter.
- Prizes don't need a budget: first pick in the gift exchange, a trophy that moves to the winning team's desks for a year, or bragging rights read out at the next all-hands. Announce the prize before question one so the room plays for it.
- Mixed ages at a family gathering? Pair a kid with a grandparent on each team and open with films and songs. An easy, familiar first round keeps the youngest players in it.
- On a video call, ask people to keep the call open on their laptop and answer on their phone, so the question stays on the shared screen while they tap. Read each question aloud for anyone on a small screen.

What are the holiday trivia scenes?
They are painted big-screen scenes for trivia games: the lobby, each question, the answer reveal and the winners podium all take place inside one illustrated setting, with your questions and players' names on boards in the scene. There are four seasonal scenes on Starter (Holiday Village, Haunted Manor Party, Thanksgiving Dinner and New Year's Gala), plus the year-round Game Show Studio, free for everyone. Players' phones get matching art and themed answer buttons.
Can I try a holiday scene before I pay?
Yes. Free hosts can preview any seasonal scene on their own game in the Logo & Colors studio. Keeping it for your game needs the Starter plan, $20/month or $200/year.
Can I run inclusive holiday trivia at work, not just Christmas?
Yes. You choose the questions, and this page has 15 inclusive ones covering Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa, Lunar New Year, St. Lucia Day and more. For the look, Holiday Village is a snowy Christmas village with a toy workshop and a big tree; for a scene with no holiday theme, use the free Game Show Studio.

Can I add my company logo?
Yes, on Starter and up. Your logo, colors, backgrounds and fonts appear on every screen, and in a seasonal scene your logo appears on a sign in the scene.
How long does a holiday trivia game take?
You decide. Each ready-made holiday game has 10 questions, and you can add more or play two games back to back. Plan on roughly a minute per question, including the reveal, so a 10-question game fits a 10 to 15 minute slot.
Is this holiday trivia for adults or kids?
Both. Every scene is family-friendly, and you choose the questions, so you can pitch a set at a grown-up office crowd or a family living room.
