Creative Challenge

Pictionary Showdown is a fast-paced drawing game that relies on quick thinking and team synergy. It's highly visual and often leads to hilarious misunderstandings. You don't need to be an artist to excel; in fact, bad drawings often make the game funnier. It's a great way to inject sudden, loud energy into a room and get people out of their analytical work mindsets.

How to run it

  1. 1.Split the room into two large teams.
  2. 2.Have one person from the first team come to the whiteboard.
  3. 3.Show them the word; start a 60-second timer.
  4. 4.Their team tries to guess what they are drawing. If they guess correctly, they get a point.
  5. 5.Alternate teams until all words are drawn, then declare the winner.

Pro Tips

  • Create a custom list of words that include inside company jokes or industry jargon.
  • Use a large whiteboard so everyone in the room can see.
  • Enforce the 'no talking and no symbols' rule strictly for maximum fun.
