Every other game here asks people to wait their turn. This one does not: all 500 participants answer the same question simultaneously, so a quiz with a whole company takes exactly as long as a quiz with five people. That makes it the mode to reach for when the room is genuinely large.
How it works
- A question appears with four colour-coded answers, and a clock starts.
- Everyone taps at once. No turns, no waiting, no reading order.
- Your answer locks immediately and cannot be changed. You are told privately that it landed, but not whether it was right.
- The reveal shows the correct answer, how the room split across the four options, and who was fastest.
Scoring
- 500 points for a correct answer.
- Up to 500 more as a speed bonus, scaled by how much time was left. Instant answers are worth roughly double buzzer-beaters.
- +100 per streak for consecutive correct answers, up to five.
- Nothing for a wrong answer, and your streak resets.
The speed bonus is what stops a quiz becoming a knowledge test that the same person always wins. Someone who knows six answers slowly can finish behind someone who knows four instantly, which keeps the scoreboard moving and the room paying attention.
It works with one human. Speed Trivia is the only mode where bots genuinely play, because answering A/B/C/D needs no human judgement. Add bots in the lobby to try a session on your own before running it for the team.
Run it as your company quiz
This is the one game here with a use beyond a Friday social. The format is the same one used for onboarding checks, product knowledge refreshers and training recaps, and because Drawblins already supports company word packs and branded rooms, the quiz can carry your own material and your own name rather than generic questions.
Practical shapes it takes well:
- New-starter week: a light quiz on how the company works, run live rather than as a form.
- After a training session: ten questions to check what actually landed.
- All-hands warm-up: three questions to get 200 people awake before the agenda.
- Product launch: a quiz on the new release, so the sales team learns it by competing.
Nobody can peek
The correct option stays on the server while a question is live: there is nothing in the browser to inspect. Your own answer is confirmed privately to you rather than announced to the room, so late answerers cannot simply follow the crowd.
