What is bachata?
Jeoparty flips the trivia format on its head by presenting answers and asking players to give the QUESTION that matches it. For example, if the answer presented is: “Shall we dance bachata or merengue? Either way, we're hitting the floor with moves from THIS Caribbean country," the player would respond with, “What is the Dominican Republic?”
Hispanic & Latin American History and Culture topics include:
- Famous Figures
- Historical Events
- Pop Culture... and more!
An engaging host will guide participants through the game and screenshare the Jeoparty board with everyone in a video chat. Using a digital buzzer, players buzz in to give answers and score points for their team, gaining points for correct answers in this fast-paced game. The game culminates in a Final Question wager which can lead to a surprise twist!
For each correct answer, players can attribute their points to one of three Hispanic & Latin American charities:
- National Alliance for Hispanic Health: Drives progress through research, advocacy, programs, and the provision of resources and information in English and Spanish to improve the physical and mental health of Hispanics.
- Latino Health Access: Latino Health Access partners with communities to bring health, equity, and sustainable change through education, services, consciousness-raising, and civic participation.
- Share the Meal: Colombia: The World Food Programme (WFP) aims to help Colombia by providing vital food and nutritional assistance to vulnerable communities.
The charity with the most points will receive a donation in your company's name, courtesy of Confetti!

The questions were challenging and promoted the team work I wanted!
The event was interactive as well as informative. People got to network while playing a game. Post event, even people who didn't buzz in (spectators) commented it was fun and wanted to do it again.
