Tip: set a 60–90 second timer, allow one “pass”, and rotate actors quickly.
How to use these prompts
Use a 60–90 second timer. Allow one “pass” per team per round. Keep the actor muted (no accidental hints), and ask guessers to speak out loud for maximum energy.
Office-friendly mode for HR & managers
Choose the Office-friendly category for safe, team-ready prompts. Combine it with a short agenda (warm-up → 2 main rounds → final speed round) and you’ll have a great Fun Friday session.
