Require teams to choose the next category before seeing the question.

Optional setup

Use this as the main activity from Trivia Night Board. Play for points, bragging rights, or simple rotation first. STUD mode is optional and the activity works without it.

Why it works

Streaks create pressure, and steal chances keep other teams engaged even when it is not their turn.

Safety / fair play

Use a safe space, avoid hard contact or unsafe surfaces, adjust for age and skill, and agree on close calls before the round starts.
