Step into the Outback Time Machine with your colleagues and take a trip back through holiday pop culture history in this trivia game show team building experience.
What Is Holiday Time Machine
Step into the Outback Time Machine and take a trip back through holiday pop culture history—live and in person!
Join your colleagues for an adventure filled with laughter, friendly competition, and a dash of nostalgia. This fun, fast-paced holiday-themed team building experience features challenges inspired by classic holiday favorites—from trivia about movies, songs, toys, and TV shows to rounds of charades and more.
Your lively game show host will kick things off with a few icebreaker “table-hopper” rounds to get everyone mingling before forming teams. Then it’s game on! With festive décor, upbeat energy, and plenty of buzzers, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped onto a live holiday game show stage.
Holiday Time Machine Agenda
Intro, Ice Breakers, and Team Formation
Your event host will greet and banter with your group as you arrive, warm them up with a social mixer and quickly divide them into their teams. The social mixer is designed to give guests a great opportunity to make connections with colleagues they don’t often get a chance to talk to.
Gameplay
Your host will challenge players to 3 to 4 “Decade Rounds” in the main room, with diverse challenges and excited video and audio samples. All points earned are awarded to the team leaderboards. At the end of each Decade Round, teams will prepare for the time jump into the next decade with a team brainstorm in breakouts.
“Humzingers”
An exciting last chance to add points to your group trivia scores, your host will challenge teams to a “Humzinger Bonus”. In this challenge, your event host will assign a selected player on each team an iconic pop song that they must hum to their teammates. If their team can guess the song that’s being hummed, they win bonus points for the team!
Wrap Up, Winners + Conclusion
Your host announces the winner, presents the winning team with medals, and takes a group photo if requested.

Holiday Time Machine is a host-led holiday trivia team building activity that combines mainstream pop culture from decades past with festive holiday and winter-themed content. Teams compete through entertaining questions and challenges featuring music, movies, TV, toys, and nostalgic moments.
Holiday Time Machine covers pop culture from the 1980s through today, with 1970s content available upon request. The trivia combines mainstream music, movies, TV, and toys with festive holiday and winter-themed questions from across the decades.
Holiday Time Machine is available for hybrid teams as well as in-person groups, letting companies run the same holiday trivia format for remote or on-site employees.
Holiday Time Machine works for a wide range of group sizes, since teams are split into small competing groups that scale easily for larger holiday parties.
Holiday Time Machine focuses on decades of holiday pop culture trivia, while Winter Jeoparty Social uses a Jeopardy-style board with a winter theme, and Holiday Feud applies a Family Feud survey format to holiday content.
