Hiring a quiz show is popular for corporate events because it involves practically everyone, regardless of job title, age or personality. An interactive quiz show combines entertainment with light competition, allowing colleagues to connect in a natural way. The barrier to entry is low, the atmosphere is high and the result is an evening that people will remember for a long time. In this article, we answer the most frequently asked questions about organising a quiz show for your company.

What makes a quiz show so suitable for groups of varying sizes?

A quiz show is naturally scalable: the format works just as well for smaller teams as for large corporate events with hundreds or even thousands of participants. Teams play together rather than individually, meaning that group size does not disrupt the experience but rather enriches it. The larger the group, the greater the excitement and hilarity.

The secret lies in the team composition. Participants are split into small groups, which then provide answers as a unit. This way, even quiet or reticent colleagues get involved, because the group decides together. There is no stage fright, no individual spotlight and no reason to feel left out.

By quiz on location organising is all about creating equal opportunities. Questions are interspersed with pieces of music, picture rounds and mini-games, meaning that not only the knowledge fanatics score points, but also those with a good ear for music or a sense of humour. That broad appeal is what makes the format so strong for diverse corporate groups.

For a corporate event, you can choose from various quiz formats: a classic pub quiz on location, a themed quiz (music, film, sport, winter), a company-specific quiz with personalised questions about your own team, or a fully digital online quiz show. Each format suits a different occasion and target audience.

Pub quiz on location

The on-site pub quiz is the most trusted format. A professional quizmaster takes the lead, teams answer questions via smartphones or voting keypads, and the tension rises round by round. This format is ideal for company parties, team building and staff away days. Quizzzit organises events of this kind at more than 250 locations in the Netherlands and Belgium, including all the technology and bespoke questions.

Themed and bespoke quizzes

Do you want something that seamlessly matches your corporate identity or a specific theme? Then a bespoke quiz is the best choice. Think of a music quiz for an anniversary party, a film quiz for a creative agency, or a quiz entirely in your organisation's house style. Quizzzit offers the option to supply your own questions for free, have a welcome screen made in company colours, and even integrate video messages from management. This is how the quiz becomes a true brand experience.

How does a professional quiz show differ from standard team building?

A professional quiz show differs from standard team building in that it combines entertainment and connection without participants having to exert themselves, move around or step out of their comfort zone. There is no right or wrong way to take part, which makes the barrier to entry much lower than for activities such as escape rooms, sports days or workshops.

Standard teambuilding often feels compulsory or requires specific skills. A quiz show is naturally inclusive: everyone knows something, and the team dynamics ensure that every contribution counts. The light competition between teams sparks team spirit in a playful atmosphere where everyone can join in.

What distinguishes a professional production from a self-organised evening is the quality of the quizmaster. An experienced hire a quizmaster means that the pace is right, the humour hits the mark and the technology works seamlessly. Quizzzit selects quizmasters rigorously for reliability, flexibility and entertainment value. They arrive at least an hour and a half before the start. Depending on the concept and group size, we use our own interactive technology, such as voting keypads or participation via smartphone. This ensures everyone stays involved, even with larger groups.

How much does it cost to hire a quiz show for a corporate event?

The costs for hiring a game show for a corporate event vary depending on the group size, duration, location and desired level of customisation. There is no fixed price that applies to every situation, but a transparent quotation with no hidden costs is standard with professional providers.

Many companies are put off by unexpected additional costs such as travel expenses, waiting time allowances or extra costs for bespoke requests. At Quizzzit, these items are included as standard: no extra bill for travel expenses, no surcharge for your own questions and no surprise invoices afterwards. That makes budgeting a lot easier for HR managers and event coordinators.

Can a quiz show also be organised online or hybrid?

Yes, a quiz show can be organised completely online or in a hybrid format. Via a professional live studio, Quizzzit provides interactive quiz shows for groups spread across multiple locations or countries, with participants joining from home or the office via their own screen.

This is particularly relevant for international or hybrid teams. Part of the team is in the meeting room, while another part works from home or from an overseas office. A well-designed online quiz show ensures that everyone participates equally, without the remote workers feeling like they are only half involved.

Quizzzit offers quizzes in four languages — Dutch, German, English and French — which significantly lowers the barrier to entry for international participants. Around 40% of the quizzes are conducted entirely in English, making them ideal for companies with expats or international teams. Depending on the format and group size, we use our own interactive technology, such as voting devices or participation via smartphone, to ensure everyone remains engaged.

How to choose a fun group activity?

Not every activity suits every group or occasion. Use the questions below to quickly determine which format best matches your situation.

  • Are you looking mainly for lots of laughter and a relaxed atmosphere, or rather collaborative, in-depth work?
  • Should everyone be able to participate simultaneously, even in a large group?
  • Is the group mixed in age, language, or function?
  • Is a table-based activity better than something active or sporty?
  • How much time is available: 45 minutes, 1.5 hours or a full programme?
  • Should the activity be linked to a company party, dinner, drinks reception or team day?
  • Is customisation required, such as your own questions, themes or corporate identity?

At Quizzzit, these formats can be tailored to virtually any combination of the above requirements, from smaller teams to large corporate events with hundreds or even thousands of participants.

What should you consider when choosing a quiz show provider?

When choosing a quiz show provider for a corporate event, you should pay attention to the experience of the quizmaster, the quality of the technology, the possibilities for customisation, the transparency of the pricing structure and the reliability of the supplier. An inexperienced provider or technical problems on the night itself can ruin an entire event.

  • Experience and reviews: Ask for the number of events carried out and look at independent reviews. Quizzzit has more than 18 years of experience and an average customer satisfaction score of 4.9 out of 5 based on more than 1,750 reviews.
  • Quizmaster's performance: A good quizmaster is entertaining, flexible and reliable. Ask whether the provider selects quizmasters based on quality or deploys anyone who is available.
  • Bespoke options: Can you supply your own questions? Is the quiz presented in your house style? Are there any additional costs for personalisation?
  • Technology and ease of use: Depending on the concept and group size, we use our own interactive techniques, such as voting devices or participation via smartphone. This way, everyone stays engaged, even in larger groups.
  • Transparent pricing structure Are travel expenses, waiting times and bespoke requests included, or will those be added later?
  • Accessibility and peace of mind: Does the provider take care of the entire organisation, from venue coordination to technical setup?

A reliable provider is also available on your date. Quizzzit works with a large network of quizmasters and rarely has to decline a request. In addition to quizzes, Quizzzit also offers a bingo on location as a surprising alternative for corporate events. Would you like to know more about who is behind the organisation?
