Class Reunion Trivia Quiz

20 questions only your class can answer. Played in teams during dinner.

Class trivia is the structured dinner activity that turns 'just sitting at a table eating' into the best 20 minutes of the night. Each table becomes a team, classmates dig through 20 years of memories together, and the loud debates carry over into the rest of the evening. The template below is the 20-question structure — teachers, school events, pop culture, classmates, inside jokes — that works for any class year. Customize each question with your specific names, mascot, and events. One quiz per table, 20 minutes during dinner, graded by a non-classmate during dessert, winners announced before the dance floor opens.

  3. Write an answer key — keep it with the grader, not on the quiz sheet.
  4. Pull pop culture answers from the Billboard top 100 + box office charts for your graduation year.
  5. Print enough copies for one per table plus 5 extras.
  6. Recruit a non-classmate spouse to grade during dessert — they have no bias and can read handwriting fast.

Questions

What is a class reunion trivia quiz?

A 15-25 question quiz about your specific graduating class — teachers, events, slang, hangouts, the homecoming game everyone remembers. Played in teams of 4-6 (usually by table) during dinner. The team with the most correct answers wins. It's a structured way to surface the memories that bond your class.

How do you run a trivia quiz at a class reunion?

Hand out one quiz per table, give each table 20 minutes during dinner, collect them at the same time, have a non-classmate (a spouse) grade them while dessert is served, then announce winners. Keep prizes small — bottle of wine, gift card, class T-shirts. The fun is the answers, not the prize.

What kinds of questions should I include in a class reunion trivia quiz?

Mix five categories: teachers (5 questions), school events you all remember (5), pop culture from your graduation year (5), classmate trivia (5), and inside jokes (5). Skip anything too specific to one friend group — questions should be answerable by 60%+ of the room.

How do I write trivia questions about my class?

Crowdsource from the planning committee — each member contributes 5 questions in a shared Google Doc, then committee votes on the best 20. Pull from yearbooks for specifics (teacher names, mascot, principal). Include a couple of impossible 'fun' questions just to mess with people. Pull pop culture from the Billboard top 100 of your graduation year.

How long should the trivia quiz take?

20 minutes max during dinner — long enough for tables to debate, short enough to keep dinner moving. Don't extend it; if teams haven't finished by the cutoff, that's part of the fun. Some questions are designed to be hard.
