Question 1

What is a hybrid event? How does it work?

Accepted Answer

**[Confetti hybrid events](https://www.withconfetti.com/help-center/en/collections/6372688-hybrid-events)** combine **in-person** and **virtual** components to create an exciting, interactive experience that can be enjoyed by teams working in-office and at home. 🤝 Whether you're dialing in from your couch or from a conference room filled with coworkers, our friendly and engaging host will ensure that all your team members have a fun and fabulous time!

For in-office participants, we recommend using a shared projector screen or TV setup. Individuals can also choose to dial-in from their own computers. Either way, please make sure that the host is able to see all of the participants and vice versa.

Although all Confetti hybrid experiences come with remote, real-time **Zoom tech support**, it's important to note that A/V equipment and A/V setup is not included.

For the hybrid option, there are only 3 write-in rounds, no buzz-in round.

Question 2

Can I request a specific host?

Accepted Answer

We are unable to guarantee certain hosts for American History Trivia, as their booking is dependent on availability. Please drop a note in the 'special requests' section when booking, and we'll do our best to make it happen. Either way, we promise you'll have a wonderful experience with any of our vetted hosts!

Question 3

I've played this game before. Can I play again?

Accepted Answer

No, there is only one game board for American History Trivia. If booked, you will be playing through the same game content. We recommend checking out our other Trivia themes or our Classic Trivia [here](https://www.withconfetti.com/collection/trivia-games).

Question 4

How does Trivia work?

Accepted Answer

American History & Culture Trivia has 4 rounds. For the first 3 write-in rounds, each team will discuss and record their answers on a digital answer sheet provided at the start of the game. For the final lightning round, participants will use a digital buzzer to buzz in and answer on behalf of their team.

For the hybrid option, there are only 3 write-in rounds, no buzz-in round.

Question 5

How do randomized teams work for a hybrid event?

Accepted Answer

In-person participants will self-organize into teams! Your host will help explain this on the day of your event. While those in-person folks are getting into teams, your host will randomly assign any virtual players into teams by using breakout rooms via Zoom. Everyone will play together in the same room!

In the event that there aren't enough virtual or in-person participants to form their own team, teams can consist of a mix of both, using their shared communication tool for discussion.

Question 6

Do all participants need a computer or phone in a hybrid setting?

Accepted Answer

For in-office participants, we recommend using a shared projector screen or TV setup, so at least one computer is needed to connect to the Zoom! All participants will need a phone to 'whisper' to their teammates about their answers and team captains will use their phones to submit answers on behalf of their team.

Question 7

What if fewer people show up than planned for?

Accepted Answer

This experience is eligible for [Refundable Attendance](https://www.withconfetti.com/help-center/en/collections/6372743-refundable-attendance-policy). If you would like a refund for participants who did not attend, please reach out to our support team (support@withconfetti.com) within 2 business days after your event to confirm your booking meets the criteria and we’ll refund you with Confetti Credits.

Question 8

What is the level of difficulty for this game?

Accepted Answer

Difficulty is subjective! We try to make all of our games fun but the right amount of challenging. Because it is focused on a specific topic, the questions for American History Trivia may be slightly more challenging than our classic Trivia game, but players will still be able to make educated guesses.

That being said, it is still a great team building experience, and there’s always the potential for sparkle points!

Question 9

Is this game work appropriate and international friendly?

Accepted Answer

Our games are designed with corporate teams in mind and are entirely work-appropriate. However, this specific theme is based on American history and may require basic knowledge of the subject.

Please make sure to enter your group details and any other relevant info in the ‘context for your host’ section of your event briefing after booking. We can’t guarantee content adjustments, but we gladly welcome feedback.

Question 10

Can I see the list of questions and answers beforehand?

Accepted Answer

As company policy, we do not provide American History Trivia game content for approval ahead of time (and to prevent spoilers!) but rest assured that our games team creates and vets all of the questions for our hosted game experiences. 💪

Question 11

Can we create team names?

Accepted Answer

Yes! If selecting 'choose your teams' for your team assignment, we provide a sign-up sheet to fill out your players' names and team name ahead of time. If selecting 'randomized' as your team assignment, team names will be decided on the day of the event once teams are created!

Question 12

What communication tool do you provide?

Accepted Answer

For teams that don’t have a shared communication tool, we provide a [web chat alternative](https://tlk.io/). On the day of the event, your host will create and distribute chat links to participants via [Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hFC0hOfa9OJCSdxUlBg46rhIWmdp6PGjofZLUSzg14U/edit#gid=0). No download required!

Please write in the 'shared communication tool' section that you'll need an alternative provided. In addition, let us know if your company has any firewall restrictions or if you are unable to access the links above.

Question 13

Can this experience be shortened?

Accepted Answer

American History Trivia lasts around 60 minutes. Our hosts try to keep gameplay as close to schedule as possible, but there may be some fluctuations based on introductions, group size, and group dynamics.

If you would like this experience shortened to 45 minutes, let us know in the special requests section. Please note that some content will have to be omitted for a shorter duration. In addition, we cannot accommodate any price adjustments.

Question 14

How many winners are there? Can we award prizes?

Accepted Answer

Prizes are **not** included or required. You're welcome to source your own prizes, just drop us a note in the 'special requests' section **ahead of time**. There will be one winning team with between 3-5 players depending on final headcount.

Question 15
