Great experience **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alberto N. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** Our company started using Trivia not too long ago and so far, I think it’s a hit. Oftentimes after the games are done, a lot of employees are asking for another game to play. I know a lot of employees have been able to connect on random topics that come up in either the water cooler questions or in the games. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** There’s been a lot of times when playing the Emoji game that the emoji combination is just so easy. Another thing, maybe the admins can see this but when a game is done, it only shows the top three on the podium. I would like for there to be a drop down to see where everyone who played was placed. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** As I said in the thing that I like about this tool is that helps a lot to connect all Employees in these games. Of coruse, this benefits us since we get to share more moments and to know each other ### 2. Employee engagement: Trivia **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David G. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** Trivia has been a great app to connect our teams together. We automate weekly water coolers that allow our entire organization to get to know each other more with the great questions that it spits out. We also automate weekly games in a game channel for our employees to take a quick break. I LOVE the custom quizzes that we are allowed to make (available on the Pro plan). **What do you dislike about Trivia?** We were sold on the idea of the Celebrations that Trivia offered. It was not what we were expecting as an admin cannot take control of it. However, they are working on making it better with customizations that would work for us, so I’m excited for that to get released. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Employee engagement and team building via getting to know team mates who we normally wouldn't interact with. Events are concise and don't take up much time, allowing meaningful connections that don't hinder productivity or inturrupt. ### 3. "Set it and Forget it!" **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gabriella A. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** Overall, I’m glad I decided to go with Trivia. It’s easy enough that I can set it and forget it because of the automation. The Trivia support is also very helpful. My IT manager and I can talk to them through Slack and we usually get a fast response time (there’s a time difference but that’s fine with us). We haven’t tried all Virtual Coffee yet, but that’s in our end of the year plans to use. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** Dislike - It lacks customization I had wanted, like in the celebrations and water cooler questions. I would also like to see the ability to automate certain games, not just “surprise me”. We also had an issue that only quizzes were being selected when the “surprise me” was selected, but like I mentioned above, I reached out to Trivia support and they were able to fix it. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** They are working on their "celebrations" part of the app. What they have told us they are fixing and adding are extactly what we want to see and use. I'll be excited when it's complete and we can customize the celebrations. ### 4. Great fun! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tammie F. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** Trivia has really changed the way we can have fun with people we don’t usually work with. Our company is 100% remote, so we can’t have that face-to-face banter. The water cooler questions that are asked every Friday are a great remote replacement for that banter. I also like the Know Your Team quiz because you get to learn more about others. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** We have a designated channel for the Trivia games and the notifications can get to be too much. If I’m having a busy day and I don’t have time to participate, I usually have to mute the channel because it can be distracting. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our teams can connect in ways that they might not have been able to without trivia. ### 5. Great tool to bring remote employees together for some fun **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Games | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** I enjoy the ease of use, and how it brings employees together with little demand on their time. There is something for everyone. It has started some fun conversations in our slack channel, brought together people from departments that don't usually interact with one another, and brought out a wholesome, competitive streak among employees. The games are short, so perfect for small breathers without inturrupting the workday. It is also highly adaptable, letting us create our own games that have meaning to our company. It is easy to use with little learning curve. All around recommended! **What do you dislike about Trivia?** I think as the app matures it will have more functionality, but it would be nice if it included a little more customization when announcing things like work anniversaries. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** It lets employees engage with eachother more in our fully remote environment, paticularly those who work in different departments that would not typically interact with eachother. It has encouraged more conversations between those who share common interests, and even brought out competitive streaks in each other (in a positive way)! ### 6. Easy & Fun Employee Engagement **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Caitlin N. | People Operations Generalist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** We have Trivia games scheduled to launch at different times throughout the day on MWF. We created a specific "Arcade" slack channel that notifies everyone that a game is starting. Anyone who is available and wants to join can hop in and play! It's fun to give employees across the company the opportunity to compete against each other. The games vary every time which keeps things interesting. I love that the games are automated so HR can set and forget and keeps the engagement up. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** There are a lot of games that Trivia bot provides, and some are definitely better than others. Occasionally there will be an incorrect answer that is marked as correct in the game and this annoys some people. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** We wanted something fun to offer our employees that was low cost and didn't require a lot of effort from the HR team and this fits the needs. It's wonderful to have the games automated so that HR doesn't have to remember to launch them to keep the employees engaged. ### 7. Invaluable team builder **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nathan M. | Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 24, 2020 **What do you like best about Trivia?** The games are great, and feel very native to slack. The variety of games is also fantastic. As a result the team has fully embraced Trivia. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** Trivia's customer communication is very poor. They change pricing structures with very little notice. It is not a service to be relied upon. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** We went remote in the pandemic, and it was hard to keep morale up. Trivia solves that with ease, and gives people a chance to connect and let their hair down, if only for 15-30 minutes. ### 8. Such a great way to unify your team! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Amanda O. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** Trivia is so much fun! Being a remote organization, we miss the casual coffee breaks, talking about what's new with one another - or just popping over to a colleagues office to chat quickly. With Trivia, we can play games, try to outscore each other, learn new facts about one another and have so much fun doing it! It’s way better than me trying to rack my brain to find new games, ice breakers or creating PowerPoint presentations for engagement. Trivia is even automated - so you can pre-schedule the fun, sit back, and watch everyone engage with each other! **What do you dislike about Trivia?** None that I can think of. We are enjoying every aspect of it! **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trivia is solving our problem of not knowing eachother outside of our fundraising and spreadsheets. Learning facts about eachother and uncovering those personalities outside of the day to day has been invalueable. ### 9. An interesting way to enjoy mini-breaks **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shristi S. | Human Resource Executive, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** Trivia helped me build a community of trivia lovers, who look forward to our trivia time every day. The questions are fun, there are a ton of options to choose from and it is simple. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** The persistent notifications and threads can be a bit annoying at times, especially as we have to scroll all the way to see it. The answers can be compressed into a single text rather an a single thread each time. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trivia helps the teams be engaged and initiates a conversation, it also brings together an active community. Especially with the scheduled timings and topic, and the integration with Slack. ### 10. Take breaks without actually taking breaks **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Reuben G. | Talent Advocate, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** Trivia has been a great catalyst at work increasing our engagement rates skyward by over 60%. The best part is that we don't actually have to take breaks to stay engaged; Trivia has a lot of fun games and water coolers to help you feel at ease while working. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** It would be great if additional team games get added. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's a struggle to get people together as an engagement advocate and that's exactly what Trivia solves for. All you need is a laptop and an internet connection, an eager audience will already be waiting. ### 11. Diversity, Engagement, Wellness (DEW) **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Md. Mizanur R. | Faculty, Education Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** I tried Trivia (until free version got locked) and found it as a platform to bring diversity in teaching and learning. Its a good way to engage students in classes (online-offline) and keep them free from classwork pressure for a while. Quiz and games (anyway, got locked before using in large platform). **What do you dislike about Trivia?** Free/ Basic version should be included for the user from developing countries. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Preparing students for kind race and pace when they will be in the job market. ### 12. Happy Team **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tori A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** Our team loves Trivia on Slack! We have the system set to automatically pop up a little game or a water cooler question at 11am 3 days a week. It's less than 5 minutes but gives the team a chance to take a little stress break and get to know their coworkers. We've gotten great feedback from the team. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** Nothing, the system has been easy to use and I haven't had any complaints. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** A stress break for our employees. ### 13. Absolutely love Trivia! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chandler F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** I love that trivia gives our company the ability to team bond and learn more about one another! Highly recommend 👌 **What do you dislike about Trivia?** I would like to see more options for categories in the trivia section! Overall it's a great start! **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allowing my team to connect via work from home! It's hard in today's world going from in office work to work from home! We are able to still collaborate using trivia! ### 14. Great app to socialize with your team and have some fun banter! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eva A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** I like that it has a bunch of options to choose from - such as trivia, pictionary, hangman, virtual coffee, celebrations etc. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** Maybe add more scheduling options like every 15 minutes. Right now the schedule options have 30 min gaps. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automated sending games and prompts, calculates scores etc. ### 15. Fun experience, too many alerts **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Philanthropy | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** It was fun to play and had interesting questions. My team and I would play occasionally, which was a nice team bonding experience. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** The questions were a bit easy to answer and it sent alerts far too often to my Teams account. I wish I could initate a game instead of having it pop up all the time. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sometimes meetings get boring or there is downtime in the day so playing trivia is a nice way to engage with the team. ### 16. Fun **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Trivia?** 1. That I can automate the game release and let trivia to randomly pick a game for me. 2. I appreciate that trivia games were designed to be work friendly. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** It will automatically choose a person to release a game as if the person was doing it. I had to learn how to deactivate this function after several coworkers inform that they were not setting up the games. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use trivia once a week just to add some fun. Sometimes no one will play the game, because every is busy. Not sure that trivia is helping to fix a problem at the moment. It is mostly used to add extra fun once a week. ### 17.

Our Virtual Water Cooler is always buzzing, better than any icebreaker game! **What do you dislike about Trivia?** There is customization lacking in the Watercooler game - we've had some repeats and some questions we knew wouldn't work well with our team. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trivia is a more natural way to engage team members on chat. ### 20.

There are a decent number of categories, so you can find questions that fit most people's interests. The team has been quick to help us resolve any technical issues we've had along the way. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** Some of the questions in Trivia are poorly written (confusing, poor grammar, clearly written years ago and no longer accurate, etc.) and they could definitely add more categories. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is important to keep employees connected in a remote workplace, and Trivia helps us do that. Participating is optional, but those of us who opt-in are able to play games with one another and get paired for 1:1 convos. ### 22.

Easy to configure, and it adds a great deal of fun & friendly banter to our small team of 13 people. We have scheduled Trivia quizzes on Thursdays, and people just start random ones whenever they want. When they released Hangman, our team fell in love - we played almost every day. I also love that they released games that are optimized for remote teams where people can play at their own time and still compete - that's very smart. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** I can't customize some things - for example, I'd like to customize the timing of when the birthday announcements come, or schedule the "know your team" quiz at the time of my liking. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** team engagement, team participation, adding fun moments to the team, remote team ### 25.

Most games are very intuitive and can also be automated. I love that several games can have a winner - so our team can send a prize to the weekly / monthly winner. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** I wish there were more topics for Instant Quizzes - our team would love to be able to choose from more options. Also, we would love to see Gotcha automated in the future. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's helping to increase engagement within a remote culture. Trivia is excellent for individuals with different personality types - extroverted and introverted.

It's easy to use and very intuative. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** There are a lot of things to learn and understand so it just takes time to learn about it.

Surprisingly good **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Katy A. | Head of Digital Delivery, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2020 **What do you like best about Trivia?** Fast paced quizzes gets a wide range of people engaged - and they stay and talk to each other afterwards in Slack. I also love the custom gifs when a person wins, and it puts their face in the gif. The scheduler is easy to use and helpful. I installed it on a whim, but I can see it's got a lot of potential particularly in lockdown while it's hard to make connections. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** Other games are less good than quiz, eg. unpopular opinions is just a quick 'oh' moment, wordsearch it would be good if you could identify where you saw the word. Some of the quiz categories are oddly specific and I wouldn't use them. I also found it difficult to understand whether there was a basic mode until my free trial expired - sometimes it seemed to say there was, but also we had a free trial... for a basic mode? **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** Team interaction, boosting morale. People really enjoy the quiz and are interacting with each other more in Slack. ### 50. Fun but BEWARE of limitations **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jessica H. | QA Forum Moderator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2021 **What do you like best about Trivia?** The trivia quizzes are fun. I like that you can compete with co-workers and see who can complete the quizzes the fastest. **What do you dislike about Trivia?** You CANNOT turn off notifications! There is no way to mute the app and no way to opt-out. Once you start using the app, you are doomed to receive notifications every time a new quiz is out and every time a co-worker finishes the quiz. The notifications are incredibly annoying when you are just trying to work. If I had known this ahead of time, I never would have started using the app. **What problems is Trivia solving and how is that benefiting you?** This was supposed to be a fun way to interact with co-workers on Slack. ## Trivia Discussions - [How do you set up a virtual trivia game?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-do-you-set-up-a-virtual-trivia-game) - 2 comments - [View Trivia pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/trivia/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+13%3A27%3A39+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=b3bcc663-c1a2-4f3e-9720-5b49ea49a015&secure%5Btoken%5D=ba640ccba4a83706d3b2e7afff1ae2004e248e05d5b076429662bb783c411c48&format=llm_user) ## Trivia Features **Core Features** - Reports - Gamification - Connection - Creative **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Agentic AI - Productivity Bots** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Decision Making **Additional Features-** - Analytics - Virtual Office - Educational **Interoperability** - Images or Gifs - Integration - Recognition & Rewards ## Top Trivia Alternatives - [HeyTaco](https://www.g2.com/products/heytaco/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (718 reviews) - [Kahoot!](https://www.g2.com/products/kahoot/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (398 reviews) - [Matter](https://www.g2.com/products/matter-app/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (1,182 reviews)
