7 Reasons Trivia Is the Ultimate Team Building Tool

7 Reasons Trivia Is the Ultimate Team Building Tool

Let’s be honest—most “team building” efforts feel forced.
You’ve got the awkward trust falls, the scavenger hunts that go nowhere, or those painful “two truths and a lie” games that make everyone cringe. If you’re looking for a team building tool that actually works—something that gets people laughing, collaborating, and wanting to participate—then let me introduce you to the power of trivia.

My name’s Mark Corona. I’ve hosted thousands of trivia games across the country for companies like Marriott, Mattel, and the Phoenix Suns. I’m also the Chief Border Agent of the satirical nation of Slowjamastan, where (believe it or not) trivia is a national bonding strategy. I’ve seen what works. And trivia works.

Here are 7 reasons why trivia is the team building tool you didn’t know you needed—but won’t want to go without.


1. Trivia Breaks Down Barriers

Titles and departments disappear when a trivia question hits the screen. Suddenly, the VP of Finance and the intern from Marketing are on the same team, working together to figure out who played Batman in 1989. That’s collaboration without the awkward.


2. It Encourages Communication

Good trivia sparks conversation. Great trivia? It gets your team talking, strategizing, and sharing ideas—all in real time. That kind of communication doesn’t stop when the game ends. It carries into the workplace.


3. It’s Competitive—In a Fun Way

Competition drives engagement, but only when it’s healthy. Trivia taps into your team’s natural desire to win without the cutthroat pressure. People light up when their team gets it right—and they bond over the wrong answers too.


4. It’s Fully Customizable

I design trivia games that reflect your company, your culture, and even your inside jokes. Want to throw in questions about your CEO’s favorite movie? Done. Want to include questions about your values and mission? Easy. Trivia becomes your personalized team building tool.


5. It Boosts Morale

Trivia brings energy to the room. Whether I’m hosting live on stage in my shiny red Porder Batrol suit (yes, that’s a thing) or virtually across your entire company, the goal is the same: make people feel good. And when employees feel good, they stay.


6. It’s Perfect for Remote or Hybrid Teams

Live trivia works just as well on Zoom as it does in a ballroom. I’ve hosted high-energy virtual shows that connect employees across time zones and continents. That’s powerful. In a disconnected world, trivia becomes the team building glue.


7. It’s Proven to Retain Employees

In Slowjamastan, we use trivia to retain citizens. (You’d be surprised how many stick around just for the games.) The same applies to your workplace. When employees feel connected, valued, and part of something fun—they don’t leave. Trivia creates that connection.
