Use Trivia to Liven Up a Party
Sometimes a party needs a little competition to liven it up and serve as a background for socializing. One of the great ice breakers at such social events is a fun trivia game. The actual game can be played with individuals (for smaller groups) or by dividing the guests up into separate teams (two teams is fine although it works just as well with more). The main requisite of the game is that there should not be one guest who holds absolute superiority over everyone else as this can easily spoil everyone's fun (limiting the trivia to topics regarding food when one of the participants is a gourmet taster can easily spoil the fun for all the computer programmers in the crowd). This problem can be easily circumvented if the questions are sufficiently varied and entertaining (asking for the fiftieth digit of pi is usually neither interesting or fun - even if no one knows the answer). Of course, having too many questions where no one knows the answer is no fun either. Thus, it may be wise to offer a multiple choice option and let the contestants choose from amongst them. For those who are at lost for coming up with questions, it is always possible to purchase a trivia game and use the cards there. There are many trivia games online form which you can also take ideas for questions.
Types of Trivia Party Games
The trivia game can easily be modeled after any of several television trivia games (like; Who Wants to be a Millionaire?). The thing to consider when doing so, is precisely how the crowd is going to participate in the game. Are they going to be spectators who merely provide moral support or are they going to be active participants who voice their opinion. Even if there are teams, precisely how the team conducts itself might be up to the team or it may involve various rules. The precise guidelines should be thought out ahead of time in order to prevent confusion and promote a fun social occasion. While the game could be played just for points, it is possible to think of a prize to award the winners (an extra slice of pizza or first pick from the desserts). A well-planned trivia game is a sure way to add some pizzazz to your party and give everyone a good time.
