Step 1: Think about Questions & Answers and Theme
Before going live, take time to plan your trivia game. Decide on the theme, questions, and format. Consider incorporating visual elements like images or videos to make it more engaging. Prepare a list of questions and answers, ensuring that they are interesting and challenging enough to spark interest.
