When you sign your team up for a virtual trivia session, an energetic host will kick things off with a warm welcome, lay out the rules, and keep the excitement high throughout the game. Your group will dive into four rounds of trivia, with plenty of chances to collaborate in mini-teams via breakout rooms before submitting answers. The rounds include a classic bar-style trivia session, a music round where you guess the song or artist, an image round with a hidden theme, and a surprise round to keep everyone on their toes! Half the event will be spent in small teams, and the other half will bring everyone together for group fun. 

Sessions are designed to be fun yet challenging, with plenty of moments for laughter and teamwork. Each session includes an engaging host, an interactive game platform with a scorecard, and full support from our event fulfillment team.
