How does it work? How long does it take?
- It takes less than 5 minutes to introduce and explain the game. Then each round takes about 5 minutes.
- Players take turns being the Executive, who picks a common workplace problem.
- Everyone else at the table offers a solution face up, with explanation.
- The Executive awards points for both the best solution and the most creative or funniest.
It’s a fun way to learn about the science of happiness and each other, so you can bring your best brain to work!
