Let’s get started!
1. Quiz
Quiz nights are another event which would make for a lot of fun overall. You could also have themed quiz events, where the questions are about a particular topic. You could have a poll asking members if they’d like to participate in a quiz night and would like to be a part of a team. Then from the members that have reacted, you could randomly allocate the members into teams accordingly. I’d definitely recommend trying out this event, as it can be a great way to help members get to know each other and get to know some great trivia too!
2. Tournament
If your server is dedicated to gaming or has a group of members who love to play a particular game, then you could host a tournament in order to crown the winner! Since it’s a tournament, games would typically be hosted once a week or several times a week in order to have the players progress and reach the semi-finals and final. Be sure to promote the semi-finals and grand finale on social media, as it could help boost server numbers too! Overall this type of event would be incredibly fun for members to take part in!
3. Gaming Nights
Gaming nights are a popular Discord event idea and consist of members playing games together, usually connected by a voice channel also. To find out which games your server’s members would like to play, I’d recommend creating a poll in order to gauge their opinions on various games. Or, you could simply have a question of the day, where you ask members what their favourite games are and what game they’d like to play if a gaming night were hosted. From Valorant to Overwatch to Minecraft, there are so many possibilities out there. If a particular game is trending (such as the Among Us craze we saw), then you could host an event around this game too.
4. Competitions
Competitions are another event idea, where members could compete in order to win a variety of cool prizes. Whether or not you decide to include prizes is up to you; members may still wish to compete to achieve the title of winner instead. However, including a small prize at the end could help boost participation numbers. If this competition is promoted on social media also, it could be a fantastic way to boost the total number of members your server has.
5. Question of the Day
This type of event involves asking a “question of the day” at a specific time each day so that members can reply with their opinions and thoughts. The question could be about a topic that is related to your server, or a completely random topic too, depending on what you think your server’s members would prefer. This type of event would typically take place in a text channel, but a discussion-style event could also be carried out in a voice channel. That happens more rarely, as I’ve more often seen question of the day events hosted in the text channel of the server. You could also create a dedicated channel just for this type of event so that all dicussion is contained within this channel too.
6. Art Events
If your server has an art community or a group of people who are dedicated to art, then why not host an art-themed event? This could take the form of a drawing party, where members can draw to prompts in real-time and share their results with others. This could be hosted over a voice channel also, and through a real-time drawing collaboration website. Other events could include art competitions and art supplies giveaways also. If your server is dedicated to the world of art, then I’d definitely recommend trying out these events, as they can be so much fun overall, and can help members get to know other like-minded members also!
7. Giveaways
Giveaways are another popular event idea that can help boost server engagement and participation overall. Hosting this type of event can also help increase traffic to your server and bring more members to it overall. If you want to boost the number of members in your server, then hosting a giveaway can be a fantastic way to do so. If you’d like a virtual giveaway, you could host an event giving away a gift voucher or gift card for an online store, for instance. There’s a whole plethora of prize options, and if you’d like input or feedback from your server, then you could create a poll asking server members about the types of prizes they’d like.
8. Collaborations With Other Servers
One of the best ways to help get more members to your server would be through collaborating with other servers. For instance, another server could host an event in collaboration with your server. Since members participating in the event will hear about your server, they’ll be likely to join if it’s in a similar domain or if they love the atmosphere within.
9. Daily Polls
Daily polls are another great event idea, which can help gauge opinions of server members about particular topics. They’re also a great way to help encourage engagement in your server and to spark new discussions also since many of those who voted in the poll might also want to express why they’ve voted a particular way. You could use a poll bot for this; simply check out your favourite bot listing and search for “poll” in the search box. One of the most popular poll bots is Simple Poll, which is quite easy to use overall, and you can create polls using a single command!
10. Discussion Night
Another event you could host is a discussion night, usually in the voice channel. This can be a great way to facilitate a fun discussion between members about a topic they’re interested in and can be so much fun to host too! The topic could be related to the server’s theme; for example, if your server is about computer programming, you could have a discussion asking members about their favourite new programming languages, for instance. Or, if your server is about gaming or anime, you could have a discussion night talking about the latest release of a new game or new anime series. You could ask members for their thoughts on the plot and so forth. It could be a great way to spark discussion amongst like-minded members!
