A question with no right answer, everybody writing at once, and a point for everyone in the biggest group. Stand alone and you get the chipped mug. 3 to 8 people, about 15 minutes.
It rewards knowing your colleagues rather than knowing facts, which is precisely the opposite of trivia and the reason it is here. Nobody can prepare for it and the newest person is not at a disadvantage — they are just about to learn something about the room.
Everybody writes at the same moment, so there is no turn order and no waiting. Five or six is the number: enough that the columns mean something, few enough that being alone is genuinely funny.
