Guess whoRemote or in person
Your brush with greatness, however tenuous.
The famous person you met, stood behind in a queue, or are distantly related to. Tenuous counts — in fact tenuous is funnier. The room guesses the owner of each.
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 large group where you need noise quickly
- A social evening before the working day
- A sales kick-off
How it runs
Everyone submits something in secret, then the room works out whose is whose.
- 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.
- Say "tenuous counts" before they write, not after. People bin a good story because they think it isn't impressive enough.
- Above about twenty, read out five or six rather than all of them — pick the ones that made you laugh reading ahead.
