Theme your quiz to the max!
To create a captivating Halloween atmosphere, tailor your quiz questions to up-to-date horror or halloween facts. Make sure to think about how you can add revelant imagery, videos or other elements that can add to the experience such as music too. Include topics such as horror movies, famous monsters, ghost stories, documentaries, Halloween history, and trivia about costumes and traditions. This will immerse participants in the spooky ambience and make the quiz more exhilirating!
Mix up your questions
Variety is key to keeping participants engaged. Include different question formats such as multiple choice, true or false, fill in the blanks, picture rounds, music rounds or video. This will add an element of surprise and challenge, making the quiz more interactive and enjoyable for everyone involved.
Make the quiz visually appealling
Enhance the visual experience by incorporating Halloween-themed graphics, GIFs, backgrounds, and spooky sound effects. Use multimedia elements like images and videos related to Halloween to add excitement and make the quiz visually captivating. You can customise Vevox like the image in the blog header to make it feel and look how you want it to with your own imagery or by using own extensive image library. If you're running it in PowerPoint, you can use the Vevox polling add-in to run and customise polls in your own way to still make the quiz interactive.
Offer themed prizes and incentives
Everyone loves the chance to win prizes, especially during a quiz to make it more competitive. Offer enticing rewards such as Halloween-themed gift baskets, movie tickets, sweets, a voucher for shopping or restaurants and even a trophy for the winner. This will boost motivation and engagement, making the quiz even more fun with encouraging maximum participation.
Make the quiz interactive
No need for hands-up style quizzes or old technology like clickers. Make your quiz interactive by incorporating live polling and real-time quiz functionality through platforms like Vevox. This way you can gather real-time responses, the scores are all done for you through the leaderboard functionality and the audience can track their own quiz progress to compare how they are doing throughout the quiz. This adds an extra layer of excitement and keeps everyone involved in the game the whole time. You can also make it anonymous or identified, depending how you want to run the quiz and what is most important to the outcomes of your session. Also by using web-based quiz apps, people can participate from anywhere if they can be in the room physically as well.
Embrace creativity with costume contests
Encourage participants to dress up in their best Halloween costumes and hold a contest alongside the quiz. Allow the audience to vote for the best costume, or have a panel of judges to decide the winner. This adds a fun and festive element to the event, making it even more memorable for everyone.
Add spooky surprises along the way...
Inject unexpected surprises and challenges throughout the quiz to keep participants on their toes. This could include bonus rounds, timed-based questions with a countdown clock or even incorporating mini-games or puzzles to solve. These surprises will add excitement and anticipation to the quiz!
Engage with Halloween-themed trivia
Between questions, engage participants with Halloween-themed trivia or fun facts. Once you run a poll, add the correct answer explanation on the Vevox app and present view to reveal the context behind the answer. This gives participants the opportunity to share their knowledge and learn something new about Halloween and to add to the whole experience.
