Exercises to build better team dynamics

In order to work well together, people need more than just technical skills; they need to get to know and understand each other. We suspect this intuitively; which is why fortunes are spent on team-building exercises. But because costly excursions aren’t always possible, we’ve designed a game that requires nothing more than a room and a little free time.

Teamwork contains 100 questions that playfully and sensitively introduce us to our colleagues by setting up the best kinds of conversation about everything from our childhoods to our values. Played as a group, we’ll end up in profound, eye-opening and meaningful chats that humanise colleagues in each other’s eyes and help to create an atmosphere of forgiving and kind collegiality around the office: this is the best and easiest way to turn individuals into a team.

Topics covered include:

  • Flaws, Fears & Regrets
  • Character
  • Work
  • Likes & Interests
  • The Past

Example questions:

  • Do you have any siblings? How did you get on with them when you were small? And now?
  • If you could go back and reassure the younger you about something, what would it be?
  • How have you treated someone wrongly in the past? What happened?

Violet ★★★★★

We used this at our monthly team meeting and the "get to know each other" exercises actually got people talking instead of the usual awkward silence. The cards are sturdy too, survived being passed around a table of eight. Didn't expect a card game to make my coworkers open up like that.

Miles Q. ★★★★★

My department has been through three different team-building kits this year, and these cards finally got people talking about things beyond their job titles. The exercise prompts are short enough to keep a meeting moving, yet they sparked some genuinely thoughtful conversations we'd never have had o

Julian U. ★★★★★

We took this out during a slow afternoon and by the end everyone was actually talking about how they work best, not just surface stuff. The prompts push past small talk without feeling forced.
