How Live Trivia Games Bring People Together (And Why I’ll Never Stop Hosting Them)
You can learn a lot about people when they’re shouting answers across the room to questions like “What was the name of Ross and Rachel’s daughter?” or “Who sang the 90s hit No Scrubs?”
Over the past decade, I’ve hosted thousands of live trivia games—in boardrooms, ballrooms, Zoom calls, and even under the blazing desert sun in my own country of Slowjamastan (yes, I co-founded a country… long story). And you know what I’ve discovered?
Trivia is the only game I’ve seen that consistently brings people from all backgrounds together—age, race, department, job title, you name it. When the music hits, the questions fly, and someone blurts out “THE LOUVRE!”—suddenly everyone’s on the same team, even if only for that round.
It’s Team Building Without the Eye Rolls
Let’s be honest: most team-building efforts feel like a corporate trust fall waiting to happen. But live trivia? It’s different. People laugh. They collaborate. They discover hidden knowledge (like the one guy in accounting who knows every Kardashian birthday). And most importantly, they bond.
I’ve seen HR reps high-fiving warehouse staff. I’ve witnessed introverts become MVPs. And, I’ve seen walls come down in minutes that months of “team culture initiatives” couldn’t budge.
That’s the power of live trivia games—it sneaks in unity disguised as fun.
I’m an Entertainer, But I’m Also a Retention Expert
Yes, I show up in a flashy red uniform. Yes, I run games with Top 40 music and bonus rounds that include dancing, singing, and maybe a taco prize or two. But underneath all that, I’m a retention expert disguised as an entertainer.
I’ve spent years building systems that help companies retain customers and employees—not through boring manuals, but through connection.
And my work in Slowjamastan—a fictional nation now 30,000 citizens strong—has only reinforced that mission. We’ve united people across every culture and country, all with the help of humor, shared experiences, and yes… trivia. Slowjamastan proves that people want to belong to something fun, positive, and meaningful.
So whether I’m hosting a trivia night for a Fortune 500 company or welcoming a new citizen at the Slowjamastan border (passport stamp required), the mission is the same: bring people together and make them feel like they belong.
Book Me and See It for Yourself
If your team needs a spark—something that’s more than just another Zoom icebreaker—book a live trivia game with me. Let’s create real moments of connection. Let’s break the walls. And, let’s make your team stronger… and have a blast doing it.
Because in a world that’s more divided than ever, a little trivia might be exactly what we all need.
