In this game, participants gather in a circle and raise their right fist, prepared to share little-known facts about themselves. Each player, in turn, announces an interesting fact such as having traveled to India, enjoying science fiction novels, or playing the guitar. Other participants open a finger of their fist if they share the same fact. If a player has all fingers open, they leave the circle and are saved. This process repeats until only one player remains. The goal is to exit the circle as quickly as possible to avoid others exiting before oneself, encouraging more personal revelations. Subsequent conversations allow participants to learn more about their common interests.
In a team building context, this game is valuable as it promotes the discovery of common ground among team members, enhancing cohesion and productivity. By sharing personal information and discovering shared interests, participants build deeper connections and develop a better mutual understanding. This creates an environment where everyone feels heard and valued, essential for fostering effective collaboration and harmonious teamwork.
