Any situation where you want to inject some fun and humour whilst testing your participants’ knowledge or awareness.

Developed to share customer feedback with our team, this is also a great activity to use in any situation where you want to run a quiz where questions have more than one answer. For example, you could use it to test participants’ knowledge of the main features of a product or service, or to remind teams of their successes.
