couchslop / Office Edition
Opens in early November. Free trials for all-hands meetings are booking now.
For People Ops and office managers
Everyone answers a few questions the week before. At the party, the room guesses who wrote what.
My first job was…
“Dressing up as a giant hot dog outside a car wash.”
Departments
A week before, everyone opens it on their phone, picks their department and answers three of twelve questions, like “a skill nobody here knows I have”. Two minutes each. No accounts.
You see every answer before the party, and only the ones you approve go on the screen. Remove a question you don't like, or add your own.
Open the game on the office TV or share the tab on Zoom. Everyone scans a code with their phone, then guesses who wrote each answer. Departments score as teams.
Nothing anyone types reaches the screen until you've approved it. The questions avoid politics, religion, health, money and relationships, and a filter catches language as people type.
A cartoon potato called Spud explains the rules on screen in a minute, and the game runs itself. Play it the week of the party or move it on the day. You don't need to book a time slot.
A department scores the average of its people, so a five-person finance team can beat forty engineers.
Share the game's tab on Zoom, Meet or Teams with sound on. Remote people play from their own phones, and a 15-second guess window covers screenshare lag.
First names, departments and the answers, deleted 30 days after the party. No employee emails, no accounts, no app to install.
Everyone's answer shows up once before anyone's comes up twice, so the quiet ones get their moment too. Expect “wait, YOU were a hot dog?” for the rest of the night.
Who Wrote It? for one company party: the Slack link, your approval view, up to 100 players on the night, and Play again until every answer has been seen. Pay by card, no contract.
