A career in five games

Plan one short round between the speeches and the gift. Open with a word cloud, then play a quiz about the colleague, a guess at their years in the company and their career in the right order, and end with the messages. That makes five questions, exactly what the free plan allows per presentation.

  • Quiz questions with a timer and a leaderboard on their habits and stories
  • Guess a number for the years, the coffees or the unread emails
  • Right order for the career steps, from the first job to the last day
  • A word cloud and open text for the goodbyes and the thank yous

Former colleagues and remote teams

Former colleagues and other offices join with the short link, sent by email or pasted in the video call chat. They play the same game at the same time as the room, on a phone or a computer, and each phone shows the questions in its own language.

Messages to keep after the last day

Goodbye messages arrive as open text answers, ready to read out before the gift. Answers are anonymous, so ask everyone to sign their message at the end. On Solo, Pro and the passes, export the results as CSV and print them for the colleague.

Questions

What games work for a retirement party at work?

Games about the colleague rather than general knowledge: a quiz on their habits, a guess at their years in the company, their career steps in the right order and a word cloud of goodbyes. Add a wheel to pick who gives the speech.

Can remote and former colleagues join?

Yes. Send them the short link by email or paste it in the video call chat. They answer from a phone or a computer at the same time as the room, with no app and no account.

Should the colleague who is leaving play too?

It is more fun when they watch: the room answers questions about them and they react to each result. Keep the last question for them, a quiz about the team, to turn the tables.

Is it free?

Yes to start: every question type, up to 80 participants and 5 questions per presentation. For a bigger party, the Event Pass is €9 and the Big Event Pass €29, paid once for 72 hours, starting at payment or on the party date chosen at checkout.
