Icebreakers · Get to know each other
The Tally
Fully cooperative. How well does the room read itself?
- ~10 min
- 3–10 people
- One device, or phones
- Free
- All ages
What it feels like
No winners tonight. No losers either. Just one question, over and over: how well does this room really know itself? Answer honestly, count together, and see how close you come.
How to play
- Take a private turn each and answer yes or no to four questions.
- For each question, agree on one number as a group: how many of us said yes?
- Only the count is revealed, never who said what.
Scoring: You play as a team. An exact count scores 2 group points, one off scores 1.
You'll get prompts like
- “Have you ever broken a bone?”
- “Can you whistle?”
What you need
3 to 10 people and one phone, tablet or laptop to pass around — or everyone on their own phone in a room. Nothing to download, no accounts. The best lines can be sealed into your group's Almanac and come back in later games.
