Christmas quiz for work or the office party
A Christmas quiz is the easiest activity for a staff party: no materials, no quizmaster needed, and everyone can join in. Colleagues play on their own phones, even those who arrive late. Also see the pub quiz for your company outing for tips on bigger groups.
How it works
- You start the quiz on the TV or laptop and show the join code and QR code.
- Everyone joins on their own phone; sharing one phone as a duo works too.
- You play the rounds and finish with the final standings, and for the brave: the penalty wheel.
What does it cost?
Starting for free is always possible: multiple choice and word association, penalty wheel included. Want more round types, like music rounds or map questions? Subscriptions start at €4.99 per month and can be cancelled monthly, so a single month around the holidays is fine.
Frequently asked questions
Do players need an app or account?
No. Players scan the QR code or type the join code at kwishetwel.com/join in their browser. They pick a name and a photo or animal avatar and play right away.
Is a Christmas quiz fun for young and old together?
Yes, especially. Questions are big on the TV and everyone answers at their own pace on their phone. Kids play along fine as a duo with an adult on one phone.
How long does a Christmas quiz take?
That's up to you: a single round takes about ten minutes, a full quiz night with several rounds easily fills an hour. You control the pace, so pausing for dessert is always possible.
Can I play the quiz at the office Christmas party too?
Absolutely, it works exactly the same: one screen or projector, colleagues join with their phones. For very large groups, reach out via the contact form and we'll think along.
