How to play

  1. Everyone picks a film, a book or a well-known office event.
  2. Write it as a sequence of no more than eight emoji, in the team chat or on the board.
  3. The others guess what it is.
  4. A correct guess scores a point for the guesser and the writer.

Office tip: The only game here that also works when half the team is remote.
