Everyone writes something interesting they’ve done (in secret), and then everyone has to guess who has done what.
How to do it
Get everyone to write on a sticky note something interesting that they’ve done (hint: make sure everyone uses the same colour of sticky notes!). Fold them up, put them in a container of some sort, and mix them up. Then, get each person to draw one out at random, read it out, and guess who did it. Make sure nobody reveals who did what until the end. After everyone has drawn out a sticky note and had a guess, ask everyone to reveal the interesting thing that they have done.
To make this icebreaker work for remote meetings, ask everyone to send you (the facilitator) the interesting thing that they’ve done ahead of time (over email or chat). Start your meeting by displaying all of the things grouped together, and ask everyone to write down who they think has done what.
