Why it usually falls flat
Four things that ruin team building
It is not that people do not want to take part. It is what we hand them.
Half the room is looking at a phone anyway.
So let the phone be the game controller instead of the escape route.
An online session dies after 20 minutes: cameras off, one person talking.
In a game everyone has their own screen and their own move every half minute.
The agency quote arrives two days later, and every change is a new offer.
You build the run sheet yourself in a minute and change it on the day.
All that is left afterwards is an invoice and a few photos.
What is left is a leaderboard, a word cloud, survey results and an attendance list.
How it works
Three steps, nothing to install
Pick the activities
Build a run sheet from ready-made games or take a single one. AI can write the quiz about your company from your own materials.
Show the code
A letter code and a QR code appear on screen. People scan, type a name and play. No accounts, no app.
Host it and wrap up
You set the pace, the leaderboard grows on the projector, and you close with a word cloud or a survey you can export to CSV.
Run sheet builder
Build a team-building run sheet in 30 seconds
Four answers you already have in your head. In return you get a running order with minutes, a list of what to prepare and whether a free account covers it.
A 80 minute run sheet, 4 activities
- 0 minWelcome, rules and the QR code (5 min)
- 5 minBingo - find someone
- 25 minQuizzes
- 45 minQuiz Show
- 75 minWord cloud
- A free account covers this: up to 30 participants in one session.
- You will want a shared screen: a projector in the room or a shared window on the call.
- To prepare in advance: Bingo - find someone, Quizzes, Quiz Show. AI can write the questions from your own materials.
Assumptions: 5 minutes for the welcome and the code, 5 minutes between activities. Game lengths are approximate.
Games and activities
What the evening is made of
All of it works the same way: people join from a phone with a code, you host from a laptop.
So they get to know each other
- Bingo - find someonePeople look for someone in the room who matches each prompt and tick the squares off.
- Two Truths and a LieEveryone writes three statements about themselves and the rest guess which one is the lie.
- Would You RatherTwo scenarios, one choice. Results appear on the shared screen at once.
- Word cloudOne question, dozens of associations and a shared picture in seconds.
- 1:1 Meetings (B2B matchmaking)People post what they offer and what they are looking for, and the scheduler arranges 1:1 talks.
So they start working together
- The Nowak murder mysteryEveryone gets different clues on their phone and the group works out who did it.
- SpiesSecret agencies, a discussion and a vote on who to unmask.
- Blind drawingOne person describes a picture, the other draws it blind. A lesson in communication.
- BombYou read the secret manual, the team defuses the bomb, the clock runs.
- Minotaur's LabyrinthIn pairs: one sees the maze, the other walks it almost blind.
- In-Sync TeamThe whole group has to press the same colour in the same second.
To lift the energy
- Quiz ShowA knockout game show with lives and a shared clock, like on television.
- Board RaceA shared board: right answers move the team's pawn forward.
- Tower QuizA quiz as tower defence: a right answer is a shot at the incoming enemy.
- Confidence AuctionYou estimate numbers and bet points on how sure you are.
- QuizzesEleven question types, a team mode and questions about your own company.
- CrosswordA list of clues turns into a crossword the whole room solves.
So they think together
- AirportAn airport project portfolio: priorities, resources and turn after turn.
- Around the WorldA project as a voyage: a baseline, a budget and a world that breaks the schedule.
- Medieval villageA medieval village: production, trade and a goal the teams share.
- EmbassyA deduction game in which the host is the game master.
- Origami shelterOrigami production in teams: process, quality and time pressure.
So something is left afterwards
- Wheel of FortuneA prize wheel for drawing winners and names.
- Ask the hostQuestions to the host or the leadership, anonymous ones included.
- SurveysA post-event survey with live results and a CSV export.
- CertificatesCertificates for the winning team, generated as PDFs in one go.
- Attendance listsAn attendance list signed from a phone.

For event companies
One platform instead of four licences
A game show, a murder mystery, a spy game, blind drawing and business simulations in one account. No buzzer kit to carry and no app to install before people walk into the room.
Verbalu is your working tool: you run your clients' events on it, commercial ones included, with their brand on the screens. What the terms do not allow is reselling or sublicensing access to the platform itself.
Let's talk about working togetherFormats
In the room, online and in between
In the room
The projector shows the code, the board and the leaderboard while people play on their phones. Some games work without a projector too.
Online
You share your screen on Teams, Zoom or Meet and host it the same way. Participants install nothing.
Hybrid
The room and the remote people play in the same session under one code. The leaderboard covers everyone.
An honest comparison
When Verbalu, and when an agency
| What we compare | Agency with a host | Quiz tool | Verbalu |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | A rate per person that grows with every invitation | A subscription with a participant cap, or a fee per event | One fee for the organisation, no participant limit on Pro |
| Lead time | Enquiry, quote, contract | Usually one format to click together | A run sheet in minutes, changes up to the last moment |
| Joining | Depends on the supplier, sometimes an app to download | A code or a link, sometimes an account | A code or a QR code, no account and no install |
| Formats | Whatever is in the catalogue | Usually one: a quiz or a field game | Team games, simulations, quizzes, surveys and host tools |
| Branding | The agency's brand | White label on the pricier plans | Your logo and colours on screen from the Pro plan |
| Afterwards | A write-up and photos | Quiz results | Leaderboard, survey with CSV export, attendance list, certificates |
An agency has one thing no platform can give you: a host who holds the room. If that is what you need, write to us and trainers from Octigo will run the workshop.

Questions
What people ask most often
Does anyone have to install anything?
No. People scan a QR code or type a code on the site, give a first name and play in the phone's browser. They do not create accounts.
How many people can play at once?
Up to 30 in one session on a free account. The Pro plan has no participant limit and the price does not change.
Does this work for a remote team?
Yes. You share your screen on Teams, Zoom or Meet and people play on their phones. Games for pairs and small groups can go to breakout rooms.
What does it cost?
Start is free for up to 30 participants. Pro is $12 a month for the whole organisation, Pro + AI is $50. Billing is monthly.
Can I put our logo on it?
Yes, on the Pro plan. Participants see your organisation's name, logo and colours instead of Verbalu.
Will AI write questions about our company?
Yes. You upload materials, for example a company deck or product descriptions, and AI proposes questions from them. You can edit every one before the session. A new account gets 50 AI credits.
I run an event company. Can I use this for my clients' events?
Yes, run your events on Verbalu, commercial ones included, with the client's brand on screen. What the terms do not allow is reselling or sublicensing access to the platform itself.
What about participants' data?
A participant gives only a first name or a nickname and creates no account. The results stay in your organisation: you can export them or delete them.
