Why generate your own online ice breaker quiz

Opening a video call with an online ice breaker quiz works best when the questions relate to the people or topic in the room. A quiz built from a welcome packet, onboarding deck or course reading gives people something specific to discuss, not just a generic fun fact.

  • Keep questions light, such as favorite tools, first jobs or recent wins, and avoid anything personal or sensitive.
  • Use true/false questions for quick warm-ups and multiple choice when you want more discussion.
  • Reuse the same material across sessions so new members learn the same core facts.
  • Ask participants to explain why they chose an answer before revealing the explanation.

Three formats to choose from

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions depending on how much discussion you want to spark.

How it works

Run the quiz and review

Share the questions in your video call or meeting, then talk through the explanations together.

Start with a few light questions, such as a fact about a team value or a detail from the agenda, and keep answers low stakes. The explanation under each answer gives you a natural follow-up question for the group.
