How to run this activity
Choose suitable trivia clues in advance, using an event, film or licensed music playlist for inspiration if helpful. Work together to answer each clue and tick a square when the host accepts your answer. Do not use copyrighted film stills, lyrics, artwork or branded franchise logos on the cards. Provide accessible alternatives to sound-only cues.
Facilitator guidance
Prepare acceptable examples or answers for every clue, display one clue at a time and keep scoring friendly. Check the difficulty with your intended audience. Try two or three random card arrangements to check that a winning line is achievable within the session, and remove rare or unsuitable squares if needed.
Safety and inclusion
Use inclusive language and do not pressure players to disclose private information. Use original prompts and visuals, and only media you have permission to use; do not include franchise logos, protected artwork, film stills or reproduced lyrics. Agree example answers or explain how the host will judge open-ended responses before play. If using scene or music cues, check their frequency, suitability and licensing in advance.
