A subject with one surprising true answer. Everybody invents a convincing one, they are shuffled in together and shown unsigned, and the room votes. 3 to 8 people, about 15 minutes.
It rewards writing well rather than knowing things, which is an unusual thing for a quiz-shaped game to be. Nobody at the table has been told the answer, so there is no seat that is having a better time than the others, and the person who reads a lot is not the person who wins.
The whole of it is one text box and one vote, so it works at any size of call and it works when three people are still joining. There are no turns: everybody writes at the same time, which means nobody is thinking slowly in front of an audience — the failure mode of every game where one person performs while five wait.
Nothing anybody types stays anonymous. The slate is unsigned for the length of one vote and every author is named the second it closes, which is a deliberate answer to the thing that makes a shared text box a risk at work. It is not a filter and it does not pretend to be one; it is a name.
