THE STORY
What awaits your team
Tech & Science is the trivia format that engineering teams ask for by name. Three rounds across physics, programming history, the natural sciences, and the inventor stories that didn't make it into the textbook.
Round one is the recall — name the inventor, identify the principle, place the discovery on a timeline. Round two is the visual round: identify a chemical compound from its structure, the company from its early UI, the satellite from its photo. Round three is the soundtrack — Apollo radio loops, the Windows startup chime, the dial-up modem, the song from Hidden Figures.
Engineering teams thrive here — but it's tuned so the Marketing team can still flex on inventor stories and the Apollo era. Cross-functional teams perform better than pure-eng teams.
GAME STAGES
Inside the experience — 3 stages
Stage 1
Lab Notebook
Themed round: name the law of physics, identify the inventor, sequence scientific discoveries by year, the periodic-table speed round. The round where the resident PhD has a clear advantage.
Stage 2
Discovery Frame
Video round: vintage tech demos (the Mother of All Demos, the iPhone keynote, AlphaGo move 37), satellite photos, scientific diagrams. The round where the design team beats the engineers because they remember the iPhone keynote in detail.
Stage 3
Mission Audio
Audio round: Apollo radio chatter, Windows/Mac startup chimes, dial-up modem connect, the song from Hidden Figures, the SpaceX launch countdown. The round where the leaderboard gets jumbled.
