Name five things in thirty seconds. Brief chaos.
A category appears, teams have thirty seconds to submit five things that fit, and duplicates between teams score nothing. The scoring rule is what makes it work: teams start hunting for answers nobody else will think of.
Run this when…
The situations it was built for. If none of these is the room you have, it is probably the wrong activity.
- A competitive sales floor
- A large group already split across tables
- The last activity before a break
How it runs
A prompt, one answer per team, then the room votes or the host scores.
- 1You start a session and put the code on the big screen.
- 2Everyone joins on their phone — no app, no sign-up, just the code.
- 3You drive the pace from the host screen; the room answers as they go.
- 4Ending the session builds the report, with every answer in it.
Running it well
Only the host sees these. Participants never do.
- Read the duplicate rule out before round one. Teams that hear it afterwards feel cheated, and they are right.
- Thirty seconds is correct and will feel too short. Resist adding time — the panic is the point.
Run it yourself
