Take a quiz to find your Hogwarts house!

All it takes is a quick google search and you’ll find countless quizzes related to the Harry Potter universe, among a number of other things. Here’s one of the quizzes we used, but maybe you’d like to mix things up a bit? Why not try sorting by one of the many random quizzes on the internet? Have fun!

Balancing your House Cup bot teams

Creating well-balanced teams for your House Cup bot is going to be important; when everybody in your House Cup gets sorted into Hufflepuff through an above survey, you need to do some balancing! There are a number of ways to do this; you can place people into houses based on departments, teams, or even randomly, but what about assigning people based on projects? Even better, mixing it up to get people who ordinarily don’t interact with each other to share the responsibility of being the winning house is a great recipe for boosting future teamwork!

I’ve got my houses assigned; now what?
