About creative games

Games that ask people to imagine rather than recall: work out an idiom from picture clues, drop a pin on an image, or finish a sentence. There are few right answers, and the fun is in seeing what everyone comes up with.

They suit a relaxed social or the warm-up of a workshop, when you want people to laugh and talk more than compete.

Hosting tips

  • Show the answers as they arrive and react to the surprising ones.
  • Play picture-clue games in small teams, so people can think out loud together.
  • Keep prompts light. Skip anything that could embarrass someone.
  • Read each prompt aloud for anyone who joins by phone audio only.
  • Edit any prompt that does not suit your team in your copy before you present.

Creative games: questions people ask

Are there right answers?

Some games have one, such as the idioms behind the picture clues. Most prompts are open, so anything people write or pin is a fair answer.

Do I need any artwork or preparation?

No. The images and prompts are already on the slides. You can add your own pictures in your copy.

Can we play remotely?

Yes. Share your screen on Zoom or Teams and put the join code in the chat. Everyone answers on their own device.
