Team challenges
Invention afternoon
Teams invent and build a rough prototype of something that would fix a small office annoyance, then show it off.
- Players
- 6–40, teams of 3–5
- Time
- 1–2 h
What you need
- Cardboard, tape, string, markers
- A list of small office annoyances
How to play
- Collect office annoyances beforehand: the cable mess, the lost stapler, the noisy fridge.
- Each team picks one and has an hour to build a prototype from scrap.
- Each team gets two minutes to demo it.
- Everyone votes for the most useful and the most ridiculous.
Office tip: Now and then, an idea is good enough to actually try. Write them down.
