Why it works

Two answers, not one.

A quiz that asks everybody the same question tells you whether the team agrees, which you probably already knew. This asks for two things: what you would answer, and what you think a specific colleague would.

The gap between those is where it gets useful. You can be completely right about somebody's work and completely wrong about how they want to hear bad news, and this is one of the few settings where that comes up without anybody having to raise it.

Worth knowing

The questions are quietly practical.

Ideal meeting length. Where you actually do your best thinking. How much notice you want before a change. These are the things a manager might never ask and would benefit from knowing.

It reads as a game because it is one. It just happens to leave the room knowing a set of small facts about each other that make the next month slightly easier.

✦ How to play

Three steps, and none of them is signing up.

1

2
Answer twice

Pick your own answer, then predict the answer of whoever the round pairs you with.

3
Score and compare

A point for each correct prediction, revealed side by side so you can see exactly where you were wrong.

Questions

Who knows the team?, answered.

That one is a vote about somebody. This is a prediction that can be checked against what they actually said, so it produces a real score rather than a tally of opinions. It is the more thoughtful of the two and takes slightly longer.
It rotates through the room, so over a full game you predict for several different people rather than the same one every round.
Yes, four options every time. That is deliberate: free text would mean deciding whether 'about half an hour' matches '30 minutes', and a game should not be arguing with you about spelling.
Yes. Who knows me better is the same idea written for a pair, with questions about each other rather than about work.
