The office assassin game: team building people actually enjoy
At work, people tend to talk to the same handful of colleagues. The assassin game nudges everyone to seek out someone from another department and get them to complete a harmless mission, sparking conversations that would never happen otherwise. Play it over an offsite day, a whole week or a single happy hour.

Tips for organizers
- Turn on family-friendly mode for missions that stay light, inclusive and appropriate for a professional setting.

- Invite every department to join: the more mixed the players, the more likely your target sits outside your own team.
Questions
Is the assassin game HR-friendly?
Yes, with a few common-sense rules. Missions are lighthearted and never humiliating, family-friendly mode keeps sensitive topics out, and joining is always optional.
Can a game run over several days with hybrid teams?
Yes. A game can last a single offsite day or a full week. With hybrid schedules, eliminations happen on office days, which gives people one more reason to come in.
