How Trivia Party Games Work

A fully editable Jeopardy-style slideshow you run on screen โ€” teams buzz in, score points, and compete across themed rounds of questions.

What is it?

Your own game show โ€” on any screen

BrainMazeGames trivia games are themed Jeopardy-style presentation templates built in Canva. You open the template, edit any questions you like, connect your laptop to a TV or projector, and you're running a game show.

Each category has five questions worth increasing points (100โ€“500). Teams pick a category and point value, the host reveals the question, and the team has 30 seconds to answer. The team with the most points at the end wins.

Templates come pre-filled with themed questions โ€” bachelorette trivia, wedding questions, slumber party rounds โ€” but everything is fully editable. Swap in inside jokes, personalise categories, or leave it exactly as it comes.

Host tips

Run a smooth game show

Use a second device for scoring

Open the score tracker slide on a tablet or second screen so you don't have to navigate away from the question board to update points.

Let teams confer quietly

Give teams 20โ€“30 seconds to discuss before submitting. This keeps the game flowing and avoids chaos โ€” especially on Zoom where everyone talks over each other.

Personalise for your group

Swap one or two questions per category with inside jokes, personal facts about the bride-to-be, or group memories. It takes 10 minutes and makes the game feel custom-made.

Works great on Zoom

Share your screen in Canva Present mode. Teams submit answers via chat. Use breakout rooms between rounds so teams can discuss without others hearing. Simple and effective.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a paid Canva account?

No โ€” a free Canva account is all you need to open, edit, and present the template. No premium subscription required.

Can I edit the questions?

Yes, everything is fully editable โ€” questions, answers, category names, point values, and even the design colours. Edit as much or as little as you like.

Can we play online over Zoom or video call?

Yes! Share your screen in Canva Present mode and have teams submit answers in the Zoom chat. It works really well for remote parties and virtual hen dos.

How many questions are included?

Most templates include 25โ€“30 questions across 5โ€“6 categories. Check the individual product listing for exact question counts.

Can the host play too?

Yes! The host controls the slides, but can absolutely play as part of a team. Just hand off hosting duties briefly when your team is answering.

Is the template compatible with PowerPoint?

The templates are designed in Canva. You can export to PowerPoint format from Canva if needed, but editing and presenting works best inside Canva itself.
