Result
By the time the final round wraps up, the team will have laughed together, suffered together, and celebrated together in the most unfiltered way a virtual format allows.

That reminder is worth more than most people realise.

Have any Questions?
Do participants need any special tools or apps to play?
Nothing beyond a working camera and a decent internet connection. The simplicity of the format is exactly what makes it so effective and accessible for every kind of team.
How are teams organised during the game?
Participants are divided into teams and take turns sending a player up to mime while their teammates race to guess. The rotation keeps everyone involved and ensures that no one spends too long on the sidelines.

What kinds of words or phrases are used?
The word bank is curated to be inclusive, fun, and appropriately challenging, covering a mix of everyday objects, actions, pop culture references, and the occasional curveball that sends everyone into a spin.
What makes this different from just jumping on a call and playing charades ourselves?
The facilitated format, curated word bank, and structured rounds make the experience smoother, faster, and far more energising than a self-organised game. The difference between a good time and a great one is usually in how well it is run.
