Designing Challenges People Actually Love
Set a bold boundary: five images, three minutes, one insight. Constraints focus attention, reduce overthinking, and create fairness. Share your favorite constraint in the comments, and we’ll feature it in a future community challenge.
Tools That Turn Screens Into Playgrounds
Shared whiteboards let teams sketch, cluster, and vote quickly. Use color-coding for roles, sticker emojis for instant feedback, and a template that fits on one screen. Want our templates? Subscribe and we’ll send the pack.
Tools That Turn Screens Into Playgrounds
Give each breakout a micro-brief, a rotating facilitator, and a visible output. Keep groups small enough for every voice. Rejoin with a one-slide show-and-tell so each team’s creativity becomes a learning moment.
Icebreakers With Substance
Ask teammates to summarize their week with three emojis and explain the story. Humor lowers tension, while the explanations surface priorities and pressures. Collect favorites and build a weekly reel your team looks forward to.
Mini Digital Escape Room
Build a fifteen-minute puzzle linked to your processes—decode a customer message, sequence a workflow, or prioritize tasks under constraints. Rotate roles so everyone leads once. Share your favorite puzzle themes below.
Meaningful Scavenger Hunt
Instead of random items, hunt for artifacts of great collaboration: an example of clear documentation, a screenshot of aligned goals, or a brilliantly named commit. Show, tell, and capture best practices in one fun sweep.
Creative Codebreaker
Assign symbolic ‘codes’ to values like candor, curiosity, and care. Teams collect clues in chat, translate them into decisions, and present a one-minute plan. The debrief ties values directly to everyday workflow choices.
Inclusivity, Accessibility, and Psychological Safety
Rotate event times, record short briefings, and allow asynchronous submissions. Acknowledge off-hours participation with alternatives, not pressure. Ask your team which windows work best and publish a predictable rotation schedule.
Inclusivity, Accessibility, and Psychological Safety
Offer multiple ways to contribute—chat, drawing, voice, or silent brainstorming. Provide agendas and examples beforehand, and pause for processing time. This simple respect unlocks richer ideas and steadier participation for everyone.
Facilitation, Debrief, and Lasting Impact
State purpose, constraints, roles, and success criteria in one minute. Emphasize psychological safety and permission to experiment. Invite a quick reaction in chat to ensure clarity before the clock starts ticking.
Facilitation, Debrief, and Lasting Impact
Ask what surprised, what scaled, and what to try in real work. Capture one behavioral commitment per participant. Share debrief highlights with the team newsletter so learning compounds across projects.
