Name That Coworker is a fantastic game for deepening interpersonal connections. It requires a bit of prep, but the payoff is huge. Learning that the quiet accountant used to be in a punk band, or that the CEO's favorite movie is a cheesy rom-com, humanizes the workplace. It provides endless conversation starters for weeks to come and makes everyone feel seen as individuals.

- 2.Put the facts/photos into a presentation deck.
- 3.Show a fact on the screen and have the team guess who it belongs to.

- 5.Keep track of who guesses the most correctly for a small prize.
Pro Tips
