Throughout the year, I’m often asked to come in and produce professional networking and social activities for conferences. I’ve done them for virtually every industry and audience imaginable, from tech companies to marine biologists. Regardless of the function or attendees, people generally want the same thing at these events: human interaction. That’s why they’ve paid…

Earlier this month, I wrote about why trivia works so well as a corporate team building activity. I truly believe in this – otherwise, I wouldn’t have started TrivWorks back in 2009, and kept it going (and growing) to the level it’s at today. But what exactly are the key features necessary that make these…

“So wait…you own a trivia company?” This is what an astounded friend of a friend said when I first met him about fifteen year ago, right after I launched TrivWorks as a side business. I thought it was an amusing question then, as I still do today. Why? Because when said out loud, it does…

I sometimes take it for granted, since I’ve been doing this for so long (over 15 years of TrivWorks – phew!). But trivia works perfectly for corporate team building – especially when compared with so many other activities which, frankly, don’t. But why? Why does answering questions together create a positive bonding experience? How does…

When my daughter was about a year and a half old, her pediatrician recommended a medical procedure for her which needed to be done by a surgeon. He suggested we book something ASAP, because when it comes to pediatric surgeons, he told us, “there’s not that many of them.” I was a bit surprised to…

Since founding TrivWorks over 15 years ago, I’ve prided myself on being a “premium brand.” I really want to differentiate what I do as a trivia team building and corporate entertainment professional, with what local bar quiz hosts do. I like to think with each passing year I’ve widened that gulf, adding to my experience,…

I received an inquiry this week from someone in the middle of Ohio, looking for a trivia host for a corporate event. I gave my full sales pitch on the phone, followed by a detailed written proposal via Email. The following day I received a curt reply, stating that her manager wasn’t going to fly…

My job is producing and hosting corporate trivia events, both as engaging entertainment and for team building activities. I’ve been doing this for a long time – over fifteen years! What I do is unique, not just because I specialize in trivia events, but because I work exclusively with corporate and private clients. In addition…

Imagine you open up an Email from your boss, or the head of HR, or the company president. Inside you find the agenda for an upcoming meeting, retreat, offsite, or similar function. As you skim through the events of the day, your heart sinks. There it is, first thing in the morning: “Team Building Activity.”…

It’s one of the main things that sets TrivWorks apart from other trivia companies: I only work with seasoned, professional corporate emcees. I won’t be sending a local bar quizmaster or actor from Craig’s List to lead your event, but rather a pro. Someone who has been hosting company trivia events for years. Someone who…

Recently, my two kids (ages 11 & 13) found me preparing one of our newly-announced TrivWorks Escape events (corporate team trivia with an escape room twist). They looked at me on the floor, materials splayed out before me while I stuffed clues into lock boxes and wrote secret messages with invisible ink. After a moment,…

You’ve been tasked with throwing an event onsite at the company office. Perhaps it’s an employee recognition and reward party, a loyalty event for your top clients, or a bonding event for your interns. Whatever the cause for celebration, you’re faced with the challenge of creating SOMETHING fun and enjoyable, in the less-than-thrilling environs of…

You’re planning a company event. Maybe it’s an office party, or an all-hands, or perhaps a retreat or conference. It could even be a structured team building activity. The point is, you have an event you need to program with some fun and engaging content. You meet with your planning committee, and trivia is floated…

It’s a new year, and I’m really excited to be blogging regularly again—one of the things I told myself I’d do in 2025 is to get back on the writing horse, which I didn’t do as much in 2024 as I’d have liked…but that ends now! To kick things off, I thought I’d start with…
