FAQs

  • Inconspicuous Games are facilitated team games played in public spaces… inconspicuously!

    Our flagship game is a take on Capture-The-Flag, designed so teams win through strategy, coordination, and shared decision making rather than speed or strength.

  • 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.

    We’ve led games in NYC & Minneapolis at venues including:
    Grand Central Station, Oculus, Bryant Park, The Met Museum, Time Warner Center, Times Square, Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the Mall of America.

  • Each game is fully facilitated from start to finish. A facilitator meets the group at the office, offsite, or venue to set the stage with a short learning-focused introduction and clear game instructions, then travels with the team to play the game together. The full experience lasts around two hours, including light travel time depending on location.
