Let's Get to the Details.

How can I customize my game?

1. Standard Prompts

2. Semi-Custom
Select your prompts and polls. Choose from “Getting to Know You” Deck (This deck is recommended for groups who may not know each other well yet) or “Belonging” Deck (This deck is recommended for groups who know each other and want to deepen their connections).

3. Fully Custom
Create your own polls and prompts.

How do we play?

Participants will engage in three rounds of small group networking and three rounds of group connection activities. Each round of speed networking will connect a new group of three to five colleagues in a breakout room over two prompts they can choose to respond to. After small group conversations, the entire group will return to the main room to respond to polls giving them a better sense of all of the group at large.

What is the run of show?

0:00-0:05 Entrance Participants are welcomed into the Zoom by their MC.

Optional Activity: “UnCommon in Common” The MC will lead everyone in a game that shows how much we have in common! Everyone will turn off their cameras and the MC will call out things people might have in common. (ex, “Who grew up in the South West? Turn on your camera!” “We love strong parents! Who grew up living in a single parent home? Turn your camera on!”)
0:55-1:00 Event Wrap Up MC will wrap up the event and open the room for casual chatting and connecting.

When should participants arrive?

We ask that participants start to enter the meeting up to 5 minutes prior to the game so we can start promptly at the official event start time. We allow for 3-5 minutes up front for participants to make their way in. We will start the Welcome Session once about 75% of participants arrive or we are 5 minutes into official game time.

Can I participate in the event?

We would love for you to play with your group, but if you would prefer to observe instead you are more than welcome to. If this is the case, please let us know in advance through your game form. On game day, please “rename” yourself on Zoom with “NP_Name” to indicate that you are “not playing.”

Will there be teams? If so, how will they be formed?

There are no teams. The ZogCulture crew will put attendees in different randomized breakout rooms for each round. In every round, folks will connect with a new set of people!

What do I need to provide?
