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.
The game can be played by 3 to 20 people. We believe the “sweet spot” is 6-8 people. To get 20 people playing with one copy, we suggest having people play in pairs. We’ve played with rooms of hundreds of people at once, using many copies of Choose Happiness @ Work.
It’s a fun way to learn about the science of happiness and each other, so you can bring your best brain to work!

“This game can be an ice breaker, team builder, leadership development tool, brainstorming inspiration, cultural
lever, solo problem-solver. Really, you are only limited by your imagination. No matter how you use this game, it’s enjoyable and thought-provoking.”
