Keep the pace human
Read the prompt aloud if that helps the room. The goal is a shared guess and a good reveal, not fast tapping.

A small, shared space quiz for World Space Week
Put one screen in front of the room, let people join with a code or QR code, and run a short Night Sky round together. It is made for the moment after someone asks, “Want to try one?”
Run it in ten minutes
- Open a room. Choose the Night Sky session and decide whether people play on their own or in teams.
- Share the join code. Participants scan the QR code or enter the short code on a phone. One shared phone per team works well.
- Play two short rounds. Keep relaxed scoring for a low-pressure activity, or turn on timed scoring for a friendly tie-breaker.
- Pause for one question. After a reveal, ask what surprised the room or what people would look up next.
A few host notes
Make room for different ways to join
Teams can discuss before one person answers. A host can also repeat a question or let the group answer verbally before selecting it.
Use it as a conversation opener
This is general-knowledge play, not a science lesson or a measure of astronomy knowledge. Pair it with your own discussion, book, or activity.

Questions hosts ask
When is World Space Week 2026?
World Space Week is observed annually from October 4 to October 10. This page is for the 2026 observance.
How long does this group activity take?
Plan for about ten minutes: a minute to join, around eight questions in two rounds, and a short discussion or replay at the end.
Is this a science lesson or assessment?
No. It is a general-knowledge conversation starter. It can sit beside a science activity, but it does not measure learning or replace teaching.
Can participants play as a team?
Yes. The host can set up team play, with one shared phone per team, or let each participant use a phone individually.
