Trivia Games in Los Angeles

Deck the Hall with Rounds of Challenges!

Prepare for a game that has more surprises in it than Santa has toys on his sleigh. (Don’t tell him we said that.) This is a hosted team-building activity that pleases full-throated carolers and grumbling Grinches alike. In multiple rounds, teams will gather around the virtual yule log on Zoom—or gather together in person—to answer humorous questions that cover a wide range of holiday themes.

You might tackle such topics as tricky lyrics from seasonal songs; a holiday movie mashup; celebrities with festive connections to the holidays; celebrations and foods from around the world; and other entertaining fact-snacks about Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year’s Eve, Boxing Day, and of course Festivus. Plus there’s a photo scavenger hunt round, to get teams to use their egg-noggins. Also: no more puns like that one.

Our host/emcee will guide your group through the rounds and keep the good cheer flowing, whether they are leading the game via Zoom or in person, in a location you choose. It’s the perfect choice for stress-free holiday event planning and laughs and fun for the whole team.

Incidentally, don’t miss our other virtual holiday games, such as Joy Around the World: Virtual Holiday Scavenger Hunts.

Go on an amazing race while remaining in place!

Trivia Slam is a rousing game show-style team building activity that you 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
• 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 game show-style 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 corporate 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.

Is Ghost Hunting a Trivial Pursuit?

How are you at conducting a seance? Because your team will have quite an edge in these online Halloween games if you can consult with spirits, goblins, ghosts, specters, vampires, and other things that go bump in the night.

During this “virtual Halloween trivia pub quiz” your team will tackle a variety of challenges. You might be asked to identify movie monsters by their dating profiles; ponder ridiculous DIY costumes and decide “Who Wore It Best?”; recall characters from Halloween episodes of classic TV shows; name famous haunted places; recognize the slogans of Halloween candy; and more.

You might want to come to the Zoom session appropriately attired for the photo challenge round, where a skeletal hand might come in handy, a pumpkin could pump up your points, and your home gym could count as a torture device.

At the start, you’ll join our Host on Zoom to go over the rules. Then you’ll head into breakout rooms by team, and you’ll use our browser-based app (nothing to install!) to receive and answer questions. After each round you’ll rejoin the host to hear the answers, get score updates, and get in some banter.

Kids Editions are also available, as well as a different sort of game, Virtually Haunted: The Online Halloween Scavenger Hunt, featuring haunted places in America and England, and the tales of the ghosts who linger there.

Solving a murder is not a trivial pursuit

We need your help to catch a killer. Shortly after writing a trivia quiz, a Watson Adventures staffer was murdered. Before he died, he drew a star on the ground with his own blood. What does this mean? It turns out that he lived a dangerous double life. Can your team of sleuths piece together the puzzle he left behind in time to head off an international incident with catastrophic consequences?

To crack the case, you’ll need to get into teams and work your way through the dead man’s trivia quiz. Our entertaining host will guide you through several rounds of captivating questions, which often have ways for you to figure out the answer even if you don’t know it at first. The unusual array of challenges includes a music round, a movie-stills challenge, and even a scavenger hunt.

Along the way, you’ll discover how the answers point to a cryptic code. You won’t just solve a crime—the fate of the free world might depend on your ability to work together!

This devilish trivia game can be played pretty much everywhere—conference rooms, special-event spaces, private rooms in restaurants or bars, even your home. You just need enough chairs for participants to sit together in teams. Leave the rest to us.

Tackle trivia on a team while working from home
