Which answer format to use for fun survey questions
The format decides how fast people answer and what you can do with the results.
- Multiple choice. Three or four answers, with the funniest one last. Best for chat polls, because people can vote with one tap and results are easy to count.
- This or that. Two answers, no middle ground. Fast, and the 50/50 splits start the best threads.
- 1 to 5 scale. Label both ends with something specific (“laundry pile” to “magazine-worthy”). A scale shows how a group leans, not just who won.
- One word. An open answer, kept to one word so it stays quick. Put the answers in a word cloud or read the best five aloud.

How to run a fun poll in Slack, Teams or Zoom
Use what your team already has. None of these needs a new tool.
- In Slack: post the question with one emoji per answer and ask people to react, or use a poll app if your workspace has one installed.
- In Microsoft Teams: add a poll to a chat or meeting with the Polls option (it runs on Microsoft Forms), or use emoji reactions the same way as in Slack.
- In Zoom: the host can launch a meeting poll if polling is turned on for the account. If it isn't, ask everyone to answer in the chat at the same moment.
- On a slide: show the question with lettered answers and have people type the letter in chat. It works on any platform.
Keep it a habit, not a chore:
- One question at a time. A ten-question fun survey feels like homework.
- Same day and time each week, so people look for it.
- Keep fun polls anonymous or emoji-only. Nobody should have to defend their pizza opinion.
- Let a different person pick next week's question.
Running a big meeting? A live poll in the first two minutes is one of our all-hands meeting ideas, and the opener questions above were written for it.
How to share results so people see their answers mattered
The result post is half the fun. It's also what gets people to answer next week.
- Post the result within a day. A poll that disappears teaches people not to answer the next one.
- Add one line of commentary. “62% of us would rather have four short meetings. Noted.” The comment is what people read.
- Celebrate the funny minority. Call out the brave three who voted for candy corn. Ribbing the answer, never the person.
- Act on the small real ones. If the poll says the kitchen needs real plates and you can buy plates, buy plates and say so.
- Never name individual answers. Share totals, not who voted for what, unless people answered in public on purpose.
When a fun poll should become a real survey
Fun polls warm people up. When you want to know how people actually feel about an event, their workload or the team, ask properly: anonymous, short and with results shared back. Our post-event survey questions show how to write one.
KraftyLab Intelligence does this for you. It has 20 ready-made survey templates, from eNPS to burnout. People answer in the browser with no account, AI summarizes the answers, and you can send any survey to anyone by email. After every KraftyLab event, a short pulse survey goes out automatically to participants with an email address.
Turn survey answers into a game
Survey answers are the whole idea behind Family Feud-style games: guess what most people said. A live host can run one for your team on Zoom by default (Teams, Google Meet or Webex on request). See every virtual game show we host, or get a free quote.
