Teams race around the workplace hunting down a checklist of items and photo challenges — a picture with the oldest employee, the messiest desk — turning a familiar space into a playground.

The Essentials

How to play

  1. Write a checklist of 10-15 items to find and photo challenges to complete around the workplace (a red stapler, someone's desk plant, a photo with the oldest employee, the messiest desk, a group selfie in the break room).
  2. Split into small teams and give everyone the same list, plus a set time limit (30-45 minutes) and a phone or camera for photo proof.
  3. Teams roam the office together, checking off items as they find or photograph them — no splitting up within a team unless you want a harder variant.
  4. Set clear rules upfront: nothing off-limits (no entering closed offices without permission, no disturbing anyone working), and photos must show the actual item, not a stock image.
  5. When time is up, teams present their checklist and photos; most items completed wins, with photo creativity as a tiebreaker.

Tips

  • Mix easy finds (a stapler, a specific mug) with trickier photo challenges (a candid photo of someone laughing) so the hunt has both quick wins and real creativity.
  • Get buy-in from anyone likely to be "hunted" for a photo beforehand, so nobody is surprised or annoyed mid-workday.
  • Keep the time limit tight enough that teams have to hustle but loose enough that nobody runs through the office recklessly.
  • Great for team building: it turns a completely familiar space into new territory, and it's an easy way to get people from different departments talking to each other for the first time.
