The Classic Game That Gets a Team Talking
Never Have I Ever is the classic icebreaker, brought into a team setting to help colleagues discover the surprising, human sides of each other. Prompts invite people to reveal shared, and not-so-shared, experiences, and the reactions and stories that follow do the bonding.
A good facilitator keeps it warm, inclusive and comfortably work-appropriate, choosing prompts that spark connection and laughter rather than awkwardness. The gentle format is a low-pressure way for a group to open up and find unexpected common ground.
It works beautifully as an opener for a new or newly-formed team, or as a warm, human moment within a larger programme. In half an hour, colleagues who thought they knew each other tend to learn something genuinely surprising.
