A Halloween quiz in three acts

Start with a few light polls to get the room laughing, play the timed quiz questions in the middle, and finish with a prize draw. Costume contests and candy votes fit between the rounds.

  • Act one: costume and candy polls to warm up
  • Act two: timed questions with a 3, 2, 1 count-in and a live leaderboard
  • Act three: spin the wheel to pick the winner of the prize

Games that are not just multiple choice

Ask players to guess how many sweets are in the jar, put horror films in order of release, or match each character to its film. The free plan allows five questions per presentation, so build one presentation per act.
