The best team building is not really team building at all. It is just people having a laugh together, and then realising they actually like each other.
Trivia does that well. Someone gets a question spectacularly wrong, someone else turns out to be an unexpected expert on 1980s cinema, and suddenly the room is louder than it has been all year. That shared experience carries back into the office in a way that a workshop or a catered lunch rarely does.
If you have a screen in your boardroom or break room, you have everything you need. Buy a pack, nominate someone to run it, and you are good to go. No external company to book, no stranger at the front of the room. Just someone from your own team reading questions, laughing along, and handing out a prize at the end.
That is half the fun. Your people, your vibe, your trivia night.
Trivia is one of the few group activities that levels the playing field. It does not require physical ability, a particular personality type, or any prior knowledge of your colleagues. Everyone has something to contribute across six rounds of varied categories, from pop culture and sport to history, science, and general knowledge.
That mix matters in a workplace setting. The person who never speaks up in meetings might nail the geography round. The new starter might know every answer in the music category. Trivia creates natural moments of surprise and recognition that a catered lunch or a team email simply cannot manufacture.
Teams that play together tend to communicate better. Shared experience outside of work tasks builds the kind of informal rapport that makes collaboration easier.
It also scales without effort. Whether you have 8 people or 80, the format stays the same. Split into teams of 4-6, run the rounds, tally the scores, hand out a prize. Done in under two hours.
The Big Screen Trivia Game from Pub Trivia Australia is built to run on a standard laptop and projector or TV screen using Microsoft PowerPoint. No specialist software, no app to install, no tech support required.
There is a practical advantage to the Big Screen format worth knowing: the questions and answers appear on screen, so the whole room reads along together. When the answer slide comes up, the host gets a natural break, everyone reacts to the screen, the laughs happen on their own. It takes the pressure off whoever is running it and means they actually get to enjoy the game too.
No screen? No problem. The Paper-Based Trivia Pack works just as well. The host reads the questions aloud and teams write their answers down. Same format, same fun, no tech needed.
Throw in a small prize for the winning team, and you have a proper event. It does not need to be elaborate. A bottle of wine, a gift card, bragging rights. The competition takes care of the energy.
The content has been developed and refined over 15+ years of live trivia events across Australia. These are not questions scraped from a website. They are written, tested, and balanced for a mixed-knowledge group, which is exactly what a workplace team is.
How long does it take?
A full six-round game runs approximately 90 minutes to two hours, including scoring time between rounds. That makes it a practical fit for a team lunch, a Friday afternoon session, an end-of-quarter event, or a conference social.
How many people can play?
There is no upper limit. Teams of 4-6 work best for discussion and engagement. A group of 40 people comfortably plays as 8 teams. For larger groups, simply split into more teams and use a shared answer collection method.
A corporate trivia pack works for almost any occasion where you want a structured activity that does not require much organisation. Common use cases include:
| Occasion |
| End of financial year celebration |
| Christmas or end-of-year party |
| Quarterly team day |
| Conference or offsite social |
| Regular Friday afternoon |
The pack is single-use, so it works best as a special occasion activity rather than a weekly fixture. If you are looking to run trivia regularly, a subscription option is available.

Do we need to hire a professional trivia host?
No. Nominate someone from your team to read the questions, keep score and hand out a small prize. With Big Screen Trivia, the questions and answers are on screen too, so the facilitator can relax and enjoy the laughs alongside everyone else. We suggest they read the questions, but it's aided by being on screen.
What if we do not have a screen or projector?
Choose a Paper-Based Trivia Pack instead. Your host reads the questions aloud, teams write down their answers, and you get the same friendly competition without needing any technology.
