Build Collaboration Through Unexpected Play

When strength and speed don’t win, the quiet shine bright

Secret (walking) capture-the-flag means strength and speed don't win. Players must rely on teamwork and strategy. The quietest shine brightest. Teams compete in covert games while the public has no clue a game is happening all around them. This experience forces the most competitive players to set aside an individual win for the good of the team.

Inconspicuous Games FAQ

  • Inconspicuous Games are secret, real-world team games played in public spaces. Teams work toward a shared objective using strategy and communication, while everyone around them has no idea a game is happening at all.

  • This works best for teams that want something more meaningful (and memorable) than a typical team outing. It’s especially great for mixed-role teams, leadership groups, and anyone tired of icebreakers that feel forced or awkward.

  • Not at all! These games are designed so speed and strength don’t win… teamwork does. Quieter voices often shine, and even the most competitive players have to collaborate to succeed.

  • Most games are designed for groups of about 14–30 people. For larger teams, we can run multiple games at once. We’ll help you figure out what makes the most sense.

  • Games happen in high-traffic public spaces like landmarks, parks, or highly populated downtown areas. Everything is planned in advance so it feels seamless & intentional.

  • These games build real communication, trust, and shared decision-making. The kind of team dynamics that are hard to manufacture in a conference room. Teams leave with a shared experience and a better sense of how they work together both on the playing field and in the office.
