Get to know you questions: Find out what your team has in common.
32 get to know you questions for coworkers, about everyday life, food and travel, growing up and how people like to work.

Play on any TV
Put the board on a TV or share your screen. Two teams guess the top answers and buzz in from their own phones. There’s nothing to install.
Questions people ask
Are these too personal for work?
No. Each one asks about things most people are happy to talk about, like breakfast or a first job. And nobody answers alone: survey answers carry no name, and in the game, teams guess what most people said.
When should we use them?
When a team is new, when new starters join, or at an offsite. Send them as a survey before the day, or ask one at the start of a weekly meeting.
Can we write our own?
Yes. Change any question before you send the survey, or add your own. Questions that start with “Name…” work best, because they get short answers that people share.
How many people can play?
Any number of people can watch and shout answers. Up to 6 phones can buzz in on Free, 20 on Pro and 40 on Team.
