Water Cooler Trivia makes the work week more fun with weekly trivia contests that the whole office can participate in. The conversations sparked by trivia bring people together.

>>How it works
* One trivia contest per week, with 10 free-response questions.
* Contest reminders sent via Slack in a channel as well as DM’ed to participants.
* Results sent via Slack: not just the winner, but the funniest answers too!
* Celebrate the winners and discuss the results directly in Slack.
* Repeat the following week.

>>Why’s it good
* You can customize the categories and difficulty for your office. We’ve seen categories like Coffee, Finance, Boston, or True Crime.
* More than 50% of participants have gotten to know a coworker through the weekly trivia contests.
* Learn who’s a secret bookworm and who knows everything about current events.
* Spark conversations and competition with coworkers and friends, i.e. talk about something more interesting than the weather and weekend plans
* You can track the leaderboard over time, including “category champs” in Pop Culture, Science, and more.

>>Signing up
* By installing the Water Cooler Trivia app into your Slack workspace, you are kickstarting a free four-week trial (no credit card, no commitment).
* Once the trial expires we’ll work with you to keep the trivia fun rolling.
* Prices are about ~$1 per participant per month; keyword = participants, we won’t charge for the whole payroll unless they’re participating.
* You can learn more at watercoolertrivia.com/pricing

Fun way to get to know coworkers outside of work-talk

What do you like best?

I enjoy answering the questions each week, but I like that no one sees my score unless I'm the winner. It's a low-stakes way for anyone to play who wants to. It's also been a great way for me to get to know coworkers outside of work. I wouldn't have known my engineering teammate studied classical violin had it not been for a trivia question that he got right.

What do you dislike?

Sometimes the questions feel too hard. I consistently get around 4 or 5 out of 10, but there are some weeks where I get close to none.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Using the teams feature has been fun -- it's a cool way to participate in trivia and feel like a winner via your team even if you're like me and not the best at trivia individually.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Our company is big enough for me to not have a reason to interface with people on other teams in my day-to-day. There are definitely times when I've found myself in the elevator or kitchen with a coworker who I don't know well and we don't have much to talk about. Now that so many people play Water Cooler Trivia though, if I see that someone won that week or got a shoutout for an answer to their question, I've got an easy reason to strike up a conversation with them.
