For team events
A team event game that nobody has already played
Updated
Quick answer
Describe a game about your team's in-jokes, and teammates join by link from any browser, with no installs for IT to approve and no accounts to create. Rooms hold 2–4 players, so a team plays in small groups and compares scores afterward. Multiplayer is in beta, and it works best as a short break rather than a whole offsite.
Short games for a team break
A plan for a thirty-minute session
| Minutes | What happens | Who does it |
|---|---|---|
| Before | Build the game from a sentence the team voted on | The organizer |
| 0–5 | Explain the game; split into rooms by breakout group | The organizer |
| 5–20 | Each group plays rounds in its own room | A host in each group |
| 20–30 | Groups report scores, and the organizer shows one change the team asked for | Everyone |
Every room needs a signed-in host, so ask one person per breakout group to create an account beforehand. Only the person who builds the game needs Pro or Extreme.
Themes that stay kind
- The plant: the office fern has had enough and has to escape the building.
- The launch: everyone races to ship a box before the deadline clock runs out.
- The inbox: dodge a storm of calendar invites and reach the weekend.
- Keep it about the work, not a colleague, and leave out the company's name: a request that names a real person or a brand is refused.
What your IT team may ask
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is anything installed? | No. It runs in a browser tab. |
| Do players give personal data? | Players by link need no account; the privacy policy says what a room's numbers keep. |
| What must the network allow? | A live connection to our game servers. Test one room from the office network first. |
| Where do rooms run? | On game servers in different regions of the world. |
Questions
How many people can join?
2–4 a room, with as many rooms as you have hosts. A team of twenty needs 5 rooms.
Is there an enterprise plan?
No. The plans are Free, Pro and Extreme, with no company invoicing page or admin console.
Can we keep the game private to our company?
Set it to anyone with the link and share it inside the team. Only people with that link can open it.
Does it work in a video call?
Yes. Keep the call open for voice and play in a browser tab. Rooms have no chat of their own.
