Build It Silently

Build It Silently
Needs a room

Teams solve a task with no talking at all. Then talk about what happened.

Teams complete a simple physical task without a word β€” arranging themselves into a shape, sorting into an order, forming a queue by a hidden rule. The silence forces every bit of coordination into gestures, and the debrief about who led without speaking writes itself.
