A Christmas quiz the whole room plays
Questions and answers for the office party, the family table or the pub, and a way to run them: the questions on the TV, everyone answering on their own phone, and the scores kept for you.
How it works
- 1
Start with a round
Host the ten questions below as they are, or ask the AI for a round on Christmas films, carols, food or traditions around the world.
- 2
Make it yours
Add a picture round, a Christmas number one from Spotify or a family photo, and split the night into rounds with their own names.
- 3
Put it on the TV
The PIN goes on the screen, everyone joins from their phone, and the podium at the end settles who wins the last mince pie.
One quiz, every kind of Christmas
The same quiz works for a work party of eighty and for six people round the table. Everyone answers on their own phone, so the youngest and the oldest play the same game, and nobody has to read the questions aloud or add up scores on the back of a cracker box.
For family who cannot be there, open an online room: each person plays from their own place, with the whole game on their phone, and you still all finish on the same podium.
Rounds people talk about
Split the night into rounds — Christmas films, carols, food, a picture round — each with its own name and its own background. A round card announces each one on the big screen, the way a TV quiz does.
For a music round, paste a Spotify link and hide the track on the screen so the room has to name the song. A buzzer question keeps the answers hidden until someone presses first.
Questions about your own people
The best Christmas questions are the ones only your room can answer: who burnt the turkey in 2019, whose baby photo is on the screen, what the boss sang at last year’s party. Write those in the builder, mix them in with the general rounds, and check every AI-written answer before the night — trivia is exactly where a language model can be confidently wrong.
A Christmas round to try
Eleven questions for the party — a famous tree and a chapel to look at, a hit to watch, a song to name, a map to tap, a number to guess, films to sort and a few proper head-scratchers. Play it here, or put the whole round on a big screen in one press and change anything first.
