Key Takeaway:
Learn how training games boost engagement, help retain knowledge after workshops, and how tools like Quizado can make training sessions more effective and memorable.
A training game is one of the most effective ways to help participants retain knowledge after a workshop. It’s also a great tool for integration during online team meetings. Here's how training workshop games work—and how you can use a quiz show format to energize your next session.
Training games use interactive tools to help participants learn in a fun, engaging way.
Simulations, negotiation exercises, and quizzes are great examples. Quiz-based games, especially those modeled after popular TV shows, are especially effective—they make even difficult material easier to absorb.
With tools like the Quizado app, you can create custom quiz games tailored to your company’s knowledge and run them fully remotely.
Training games have a long history. The earliest examples were military strategy games designed to build logical thinking and planning skills—like chess, which originated in India 1,500 years ago!
Quiz games can be used to refresh knowledge and keep training sessions dynamic. They're ideal for:
When planned well, training games can build healthy competition, support knowledge retention, strengthen teamwork, and teach new skills all at once.
Gamification applies game mechanics—like scoring points or winning rewards—to real-world tasks.
Using a training quiz game taps into gamification, making learning feel more dynamic and motivating.
To bring the energy of a quiz show into your workshop, use the Quizado app.
Based on the popular "Family Feud" format, Quizado pits teams against each other to answer survey-based questions, earning points for the best answers.
The app uses two screens—one for the host and one for participants—and allows full customization, including adding your own questions and branding with your company logo.
You can set up Quizado easily on:
Quizado also works offline, making it perfect for company retreats or locations with limited internet access.
You can customize Quizado to fit every stage of a workshop, including:
Awarding higher points for more accurate answers helps reinforce key messages and priorities.
Here’s an example you might use during a health and safety training quiz:

Games naturally stimulate communication, collaboration, and active thinking.
Participants stay more engaged—and learn better—because the experience feels dynamic, not passive.
The element of competition and a time limit keeps participants energized and focused, helping fight the fatigue that often comes with passive lectures.
Games reward knowledge and quick thinking in a positive way, encouraging respect and admiration rather than rivalry or jealousy.
Quizado is built for teams. Players must recognize each other's strengths, divide responsibilities, and work together—practical skills that directly transfer to daily work.
The excitement of the game format, combined with the emotional boost of competition, helps embed new knowledge much more effectively than traditional learning methods.
Learning through play builds positive associations—with the content, the company, the trainer, and fellow participants.
This deepens loyalty and encourages stronger engagement over time.
Quiz games are also powerful tools for team-building.
They help people laugh together, bond, and recognize each other's talents—which is exactly what you want after a workshop.
With Quizado, you can make training workshops more effective, dynamic, and memorable—whether you’re teaching new skills, refreshing knowledge, or simply building a stronger team.
