  5. Telephone Remix – unlimited players, 10 minutes. Alternate whispered prompts with charades for comedic reveals.
  6. Music Trivia Sprint – 2+ teams, 15 minutes. Use a shared playlist; award bonus points for singing along.
  7. Rapid Q&A – 4–12 players, 10 minutes. Cards of five-second questions keep energy spiking between longer games.
  8. Story Dice – 3–8 players, 18 minutes. Chain improvised sentences together using icon dice or online generators.

Tips for tailoring the list

  • Corporate offsites: Pair Who Is The Spy with Music Trivia Sprint to encourage both collaboration and healthy competition.
  • Family reunions: Lean on Picture Relay, Telephone Remix, and Story Dice so all ages can contribute.
  • Remote teams: Run Rapid Q&A in video breakout rooms, then end with Bingo Remix using shared online boards.
