Swap Something
Give something of yours to a stranger. Get it back at the end, with a story.
Everyone swaps a small object with somebody they do not know, has a two-minute conversation about it, and gets it back at the end. Handing over something of your own to a stranger is a small act of trust that changes the conversation that follows it.
A room of strangers needs a conversation with real substance in it rather than an exchange of job titles.
Props: None — people lend something they already have
