Host tips3
  • Collect the material at least a week ahead. This is the one game that fails entirely if you prepare it the night before.
  • Mix easy and hard. If a team is at zero after five questions they stop playing.
  • Clear every personal fact with the person first. A detail someone finds funny in a form can land very differently on a projector.
Variants2

  • Who said it?

    Anonymous quotes from staff; teams guess who said each one.

  • Baby photos

    Match childhood photos to current employees. Reliably the loudest round.

Safety1
  • Nothing about salary, performance, relationships, or health — ever.
