Round 1 · Facts about colleagues
Guess Who?
Before the game, we collect fun facts from players anonymously. In the game, teams guess whose fact it is, and the ice melts in the first few minutes.

The program
Five rounds
Every round brings a new mechanic: multiple choice, pictures, sound and a final where it all gets decided. We tune the difficulty to your team.
Round 2 · Facts about colleagues
Two Truths and a Lie
Three statements about one colleague, and one of them is made up. Teams argue it out, then the colleague tells the real story.
Round 3 · About the company
Our Company
History, values, products and funny moments from team life. Gentle onboarding that doesn't feel like training.
Round 4 · Photo · optional
Whose Desk Is This?
Players send a photo of their desk or the view from their window in advance, and teams guess whose it is. The warmest round for remote teams.
Round 5 · Final · lightning round
Truth or Myth?
Surprising general-knowledge facts that keep the energy up to the end, with teams arguing and cheering each other on.
Who it's for: Teams with new hires, departments that just merged, and people who have worked together for years but only know each other's avatars.
Why people play instead of sitting it out
Great trivia runs on the host and the pace
A person runs it, not a timer
A live host sets the pace, breaks down the answers and teases the teams. That's why the chat fills up with debate instead of silence.
The round changes every 5–7 minutes
Video, audio, macro photos, finish-the-lyric and trick facts. Attention shifts before it has a chance to sag.
Difficulty tuned to your team
We calibrate the questions to your audience, so last month's interns and ten-year veterans play on equal terms.
