Questions
Good to know
Can colleagues add stories?
Gather a few first (an email round works well), then tell the chat. The more stories, the more personal the quiz.
What if I don’t know their age or family?
That’s fine for a colleague: a rough age is plenty, and the chat skips what you don’t know.
What if I don’t know everything about them?
You don’t need to. The chat works with what you know and skips what you don’t. A handful of good stories is plenty: the rest of the quiz comes from their years, places and passions.
Can I change the questions?
Yes. Before anyone plays you can reword any question, and shorten the quiz by leaving out general ones. Our library questions are fact-checked in advance; the personal ones are written by AI from what you tell us, then checked.
What does it cost?
£9.99, once, for the whole quiz: play it on the TV, on phones or as printed cards. We keep it for 30 days after you buy, so make it in the weeks before the party (and print it if you want to keep it). If something isn’t right, tell us within 30 days and we’ll put it right or refund you.
