Hanukkah trivia game online — a ready-made quiz board for family and class

How the game works

1. The host creates a room — the Hanukkah board is already selected. Everyone else joins with the link or the four-character code.
2. A player picks a cell: a category and a value from 100 to 500. Higher values mean harder questions.
3. The question appears with four options. Once it has been read, the first player to buzz in answers.
4. A right answer adds the value and lets you pick next. A wrong one costs the value, and the others get a chance.
5. When the board is cleared, the final begins: everyone secretly bets part of their score on one last question.

A board takes 15–20 minutes — a good fit for one of the eight nights, right after the candles are lit.

Five categories, eight nights of material

The board covers the story of the holiday, the menorah, the dreidel, holiday food, and the calendar and customs. The 100-point questions are for the youngest players (“How many nights does Hanukkah last?”); the 500-point ones are for the relative who knows everything (“How many candles do you need for all eight nights?”). Every question is family-friendly.

• 2 to 12 players, solo or in 2–4 teams — a good format for a Hebrew school class or a youth group.
• Big screen. Open playparty.live/tv on a TV or projector: the board and the scores go on the screen, the buzzers stay on the phones.
• Host-only mode for a teacher or a parent who wants to run the game without playing.
• Your own round. The board editor lets you add questions about your family or your community.

For families far apart

When the family lights candles in three different time zones, the link is all you need: the host shares the board on the call, everyone buzzes from their phone, and the server decides who was first. After the quiz, try a round of drawing with the holiday word list or the Christmas trivia game for the office party.
