Match the Secret Fact to the Colleague
Who Is It is a guessing-game icebreaker that surfaces the hidden stories in a team. Everyone submits a surprising fact about themselves anonymously, and the group then has to work out which fact belongs to which colleague, sparking guesses, debate and plenty of surprises.
The anonymity is what makes it work. Because facts are shared without names, people offer up genuinely unexpected details, and the fun of matching them, and being wrong, reveals sides of colleagues that everyday work never shows.
A facilitator keeps it warm and inclusive, and the reveals do the rest. In under an hour, a team discovers surprising things about each other and connects on a more human level, making it a great opener for a new or unfamiliar group.
