Who can play?

• We recommend playing in groups of 1-6

• One member of the team should be designated to access the game and share their screen with the rest of the group

Can we play with a larger group?

• Of course!
• If playing with a large group, we recommend dividing into smaller teams of approximately 6 players
• The breakout room feature can be helpful if you have a videoconferencing application with this option
• We recommend that you assign one person per team as the lead and have them share their screen with the group

Is this a good team building activity?

• Yes! Our games have been used by many groups as an innovative team building/corporate event
• With so many people working from home, it is especially important to maintain morale and connectivity 
• Please see above for tips on playing with larger groups 
• You have the option to make a single donation on behalf of the group or individual donations
