Department Myth-Busting

Live pollRemote or in person

Vote on what you think another team believes. Then hear it.

The room votes on what it assumes another department thinks, and then that department says what it actually thinks. The gap is the activity. Best run with two teams in the room who have been quietly irritating each other.

Run this when…

The situations it was built for. If none of these is the room you have, it is probably the wrong activity.

  • Two departments with long-running friction
  • Sales and delivery in one room
  • Engineering and support in one room

How it runs

Tap one of several options. With an answer marked, the same engine is a quiz.

  1. 1You start a session and put the code on the big screen.
  2. 2Everyone joins on their phone — no app, no sign-up, just the code.
  3. 3You drive the pace from the host screen; the room answers as they go.
  4. 4Ending the session builds the report, with every answer in it.

Running it well

Only the host sees these. Participants never do.

  • Agree with the other department beforehand that they will answer honestly in front of the room. Without that this is just a poll about stereotypes.
  • Keep it about work, never about people. 'What do they think slows them down' works; 'what do they think of us' does not.

You write the content for this one

It only works with facts about your organisation, so it ships as a template. When you start a session you’ll get an editor to type your own questions in — the placeholders are a shape to work from, not content to run.

Run it yourself

Free for thirty days, no card. Add it, share the code, and your room is playing in about fifteen seconds.
