How to run it
- Play it in teams: one phone per table and a team name on the leaderboard.
- A 20-second timer keeps the pace up; turn the strict timer off if the room is loud and slow.
- Add a question or two about your own office — the best laughs come from those.
Everything can be changed after copying: wording, questions and options, timers and who sees what.
