Four ways to run the quiz

Five-minute meeting opener

Choose five easy puzzles. Ask everyone to type answers privately, then reveal them together. Skip the scoreboard and use the quiz only to create energy.

Office party team round

Split the room into teams of three to six. Show 15 puzzles on a screen. Give each team one answer sheet and award one point per correct title.

Remote chat waterfall

Post an emoji puzzle and ask everyone to type without pressing Enter. Count down from three so answers appear together and fast typists do not influence the group.

Table card challenge

Put five puzzles at each table. After five minutes, rotate the cards. This works well for larger departments where a single spoken quiz would be difficult to hear.

Make it inclusive and work-appropriate

Participation should be optional. Mix Christmas-specific puzzles with general winter or year-end prompts if your workplace includes different traditions. Avoid jokes about religion, alcohol, relationships, money or family circumstances. Let players pass without explanation.

How to adjust difficulty

• Easier: show a word bank with 10 possible answers.
• Medium: reveal the category before each puzzle.
• Harder: show only the emojis and award a bonus point for the artist, singer or movie release decade.
• International teams: favor widely known songs, objects and workplace phrases instead of region-specific television specials.

Simple tiebreakers

• Name three Christmas songs containing the word “bell.”
• Write the longest correct holiday movie title in 30 seconds.
• Create a new three-emoji holiday phrase that another team can solve.

For a spoken alternative, use these Christmas icebreaker questions for work. For acting instead of guessing symbols, try our Christmas charades words and phrases. Larger departments can also use these Christmas office games for large teams.

For a music-based team round, use our Christmas Name That Tune game with 60 clues.

Frequently asked questions

How many emoji questions should an office quiz include?

Use five for a meeting opener, 10–15 for a lunch activity, or 20–25 for a dedicated party round.

Can I copy the puzzles into Teams, Slack or Zoom chat?

Yes. Test the emojis first because some devices display symbols differently. Keep the answer key in a separate host document.

What if a song or movie is unfamiliar to some coworkers?

Mix categories, let teams collaborate and offer a word bank. The goal is shared fun, not specialist knowledge.

Is this the same as Christmas charades?

No. Emoji quizzes decode symbols into titles or phrases, while charades require a player to act without speaking.
