The holiday season is officially here. And with it comes another merry gathering: The office holiday celebrations.
If you’re currently organizing one, why not spice it up with a quiz?
Everybody loves a little competition, especially in the corporate environment. Quizzes are also nice opportunities to reward your employees with some prizes.
The best thing? Even remote people who can’t attend the party in person can join in, and be included in the fun.
We’ve put together these three amazingly engaging quizzes you can set up in Slido and use at your holiday party. Each has a different objective, so pick one that best suits your goals:
- Holiday trivia quiz
Engage your employees with a fun quiz. - Yearly recap quiz
Present your yearly company numbers in a more gripping way. - Company knowledge quiz
Find out how well your teammates know your company.
Whichever of these quizzes you decide to go for, feel free to copy and paste it or adjust it however you see fit.

Every year, we at Slido run an all-hands meeting before we officially kick off the party.

3. Company knowledge quiz
The holiday season is a great time for a company pulse check. Learn about how well your employees understand your company, its values, and organizational structure, in a more amusing way than a standard email survey – a quiz!
This quiz provides heaps of valuable data for the internal comms team. For example, with the ‘Hardest question’ feature in Slido Quizzes, you can see which questions got the smallest percentage of correct answers and therefore were the most difficult for the participants to answer.
This helps you to identify where there’s room for improvement in the company communications, and take action. As a little tip, you can re-run this quiz the following year to check for progress.
Take inspiration from these questions and adjust them as you see fit.
