Card 1 of a sample batch, made with the generator on this site.

Who it’s for

  • Department mixers and cross-functional kickoffs
  • Companies where teams sit on different floors or in different buildings
  • Hybrid offices on a shared in-office day
  • Groups of about 20–80 people from three or more teams

How to play

  1. Give each player a card and a pen. Players write their name at the top.
  2. Players talk to each other. When someone fits a square, that person signs it. Nobody signs their own card.
  3. By default each person can sign a card once and the first full row, column, or diagonal wins. In the generator you can allow two signatures or switch to “most squares in a set time.”
  4. Plan on about 15–20 minutes for a 4×4 card. That’s a suggestion; adjust it to your group.

Tips for hosting

  • Add one simple rule: a signature only counts if the signer is from a different team than the card owner.
  • Ask people to say their team name when they sign, so the conversation starts with "What does your team do?"
  • If one department is much larger than the others, set the signature limit to one per person so players have to spread out.
  • Stay out of shop talk on purpose: if a chat drifts toward projects or reorganizations, the prompts give an easy way back to lighter topics.

Printing

  • Write team names on colored sticky notes or name tags so players can spot people from other departments at a glance.
  • If you edit prompts, read them once more and remove anything that names a specific project, client, or team.
  • Print at 100% (“Actual size”). More detail in How to print bingo cards on US Letter or A4.

Questions

Why are there no questions about what each team is working on?

Project details can be confidential, and questions about workload or results can feel like an evaluation. The prompts stick to habits and interests anyone can share, and people can talk about their work on their own terms.

How is this different from the office icebreaker card?

The office card is a general coworker mixer. This one leans on things that differ between teams, like rituals, schedules, and tools, which helps people from separate departments find something to talk about.
