Build Collaboration Through Unexpected Play

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

Inconspicuous Games turn everyday public spaces into secret playing fields.
Teams work together using strategy and coordination, all while blending seamlessly into the world around them.

One of the top experiences in NYC.

Past clients include

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.
