How does it work? Do I need anything?

All you have to do is rock up on the day! We will send you a video conference link for you to share with all your friends and when they arrive more details will be given on how to play. This festive Name That Tune-inspired game show involves individual or team play in which 15-30 seconds of a Christmas or Winter-themed song is played and participants have to guess the name of the song and artist as quick as they can. A point is awarded for correctly naming the song and another for correctly naming the artist, with kudos given to the player who got it first! All you need are your fingertips (and preferably headphones) to type out your answers into the chat function of the video conference platform as soon as you know the song name/artist, and a means of keeping track of your own score via a document or paper/pencil. The game can be played solo or in teams and on any video conference platform – please let us know ahead of the day how you’d like everyone to play, if you prefer a different platform to Zoom, or if you have your own link you’d like to use. We can be flexible!

Entirely up to you! The game is usually played with everyone as individuals but we can also play in teams.

How much time will be spent in the main room with everyone versus in team breakout rooms?

100% in the main room. We get through a lot of songs!

Does this game work with introverts and extroverts?

Name That Hit: The Christmas Countdown works well with all players, giving them an easy way to relax and enjoy themselves away from the spotlight whilst also being engaged with the other players through the chat function. Whilst players do not have to have their webcams or microphones on, it's certainly fun to watch our friends’ jubilation when they get a correct answer, especially if they are the fastest! As we go through the game, the host may celebrate successes and give the winner their ‘Oscar’ moment of who they’d like to thank and how they ‘did it’. However, feel free to let our organiser or host know if you’d rather skip this – we want everyone to be able to let loose and have a great time!

Can people join late?

Absolutely! The game is very simple to follow and people can play as soon as they join.

When will players be let in from the waiting room?

Whilst the host will join the event 10 minutes early, players will be able to enter from the waiting room at the exact start time. The host can hang fire on starting the actual gameplay until the organiser is happy with the turnout or 5 minutes have passed. Please let the host know if you have a hard stop at the hour or would like to say a few words before or after the event.

Do I (the group leader) have to be on the event?

Nope! Our host will sort everything out during the event. Let us know in advance if you would like us to keep a record of the winners’ names for prizes. However, we highly encourage you to join in so that you don’t miss out on the fun!

Turn up the festive cheer — it’s your team’s chance to play the ultimate Christmas music party game!

Name That Hit: The Christmas Countdown is the high-energy, laugh-filled holiday game show where you race to identify iconic festive tracks in less than 30 seconds. From Mariah Carey to Wham!, Michael Bublé to Band Aid, classic carols to modern pop bangers — every song is instantly recognisable, and every round sparks joy, banter, and nostalgia.

Inspired by the classic Name That Tune — but with a festive, team-bonding twist — your crew hears a short snippet, then each player races to name the song and artist in the chat before time runs out. Share your memories, favourite Christmas moments, or even guilty-pleasure festive tracks as you play. The more the merrier!

It’s fast, social, and inclusive — you don’t need to be a music buff, just enjoy the festive vibes and team spirit. Fastest answers grab bonus points and bragging rights, while playful banter and Christmas throwbacks keep everyone smiling.

If a song stumps you, cheeky bonus trivia clues swoop in to give everyone another chance to score — so no one ever feels left out.

Expect adrenaline, laughter, and holiday bonding in every round — all hosted by a charismatic quizmaster with the sparkle of a Christmas party host and the warmth of a DJ spinning your favourite holiday hits. Got latecomers? They can jump in without missing a beat. And with a huge rotation of Christmas songs, we’ve got you covered with more presents than in Santa’s sack!

And here’s our festive promise: if your team doesn’t have a hit time, we’ll give you 120% back.

This event is in demand every holiday season — the ultimate alternative to the standard office quiz or awkward holiday drinks. Secure your slot before Santa’s sleigh takes off!

Don’t just listen to the Christmas hits — name them, together.
