About This Activity
A game show, not a pub quiz
Brain Battle turns your group into contestants on a live TV-style quiz show. Teams sit at their own tables with a tablet and answer as the questions land. The big screen shows the questions, the countdown and the leaderboard, and a professional MC keeps the room moving.
Five rounds, in any order
Around the World, Name That Tune, Food & Traditions, World History and the Picture Round. The rounds aren’t played 1 to 5. The host spins a wheel and it picks the next one, so nobody can predict what’s coming.
Brains and hands
Between rounds, teams send players up for Minute to Win It challenges: quick, silly, physical tasks that bring points and loud cheering. Knowing things isn’t enough to win. Teams also need nerve, speed and a good plan for who goes up.
Built for the room
Answers sync instantly and scores update live. Faster correct answers can earn bonus points. The host can keep the standings hidden until the big reveal. We can brand the whole show for you with your logo, colours and music, and it runs on anything from a TV to an LED wall.
Learning Outcomes
Collaboration under pressure: teams agree on one answer against the clock, so everyone has to listen and decide quickly.
Using everyone’s strengths: music fans, history buffs and people who are quick with their hands all get a round where they lead.
Strategic decision-making: teams choose who takes each challenge and when to trust their gut over talking it through.
Healthy competition: a live leaderboard and a final reveal build energy and team pride.
Connection across departments: mixed tables get colleagues who rarely work together talking, laughing and celebrating together.
