Which question type suits a fast icebreaker best?Multiple-choice or true/false. Answers take seconds, and the explanation can be revealed right away.

Should an icebreaker quiz be scored strictly or kept low-stakes?Low-stakes, so people guess freely. Strict scoring can make shy participants hold back.
