Password Team Building Game
A Password-style team building game is quick, low-pressure, and easy to customize with company language. Use product terms, onboarding vocabulary, values, inside jokes, or meeting themes to get people talking.
A Password Game for Work: 30 Words for a 15-Minute Team Break
Choose one of three ten-word rotations for a fifteen-minute meeting break. The thirty words use familiar work and everyday language rather than confidential company knowledge.
A 15-minute meeting break
Thirty words form three ten-word rotations. Choose one set for a meeting; keep the rest for a later session. The default bank uses everyday work language so a new colleague is not tested on internal jargon. Optional company terms need prior approval and a public explanation.
- 0–2 minutes: pick ten words, make two teams and choose a giver/guesser pair.
- 2–4 minutes: model one clue, one guess and a pass.
- 4–12 minutes: alternate short turns; rotate the pair after each word so the same people do not dominate.
- 12–15 minutes: finish the score and ask which clue gave a newcomer enough context.
