Facilitator Guide
Opening Script:
"Welcome to Trivia! Teams, pick a captain and a scribe. We’ll play X rounds; answers are submitted privately—no spoilers in chat."
Closing Script:
"GGs! Consider what formats your team excelled in and how you collaborated under time pressure."
Why This Works
Different categories let different people shine. The time limit nudges clear roles and concise communication—useful practice for real work.
