In-Person & Virtual Trivia Trivia Games

Go on an amazing race while remaining in place!

The Trivia Slam is a rousing game that your can play just about anywhere. Better than a conventional pub quiz, this battle of wits and nerve brings forth the various talents of every member of your team.

Each round poses a different challenge, featuring wide-ranging trivia, participatory challenges, musical and other auditory teasers, and an unusual twist on a scavenger hunt. Special rounds allow teams in last place to vault ahead by benefiting from the skills of other teams. Our host will engage and egg on the participants between rounds and between questions, keeping the event fast-paced and laugh-filled.

Witty, surprising questions that require teamwork

After years of fashioning scavenger-hunt questions, the master writers of Watson Adventures know how to craft trivia questions that are more than mere tests of book knowledge. Instead, the questions contain clues that players will have to tease out and piece together to answer. These questions aren’t easy, but they’re also not impossible—and solving them requires a true team effort.

Our writers come from various realms of the entertainment world—magazines, television, stand-up comedy, and beyond—so we guarantee that the game will keep you on your toes, sharpen your wits, and make you laugh.

Customized questions featuring your group or a guest of honor can be added to the game. The standard game is 90 minutes long, but we can adjust that length to meet your needs.

For groups small or large, in your office or working from home

Our team-building trivia games have been a big hit with groups of all sizes. We can come to your office or other venue to stage the game. Or we can use video conferencing (such as Zoom) and our custom app to link people working at home with our host. Learn more about the Virtual Trivia Slam.

An International Edition is also available, with trivia questions and challenges suitable for a group mixed with people whose first language is not English.
