How many people can participate?

From 5 to 1,000 people - whether a small team or a large Christmas party, the game is flexibly adaptable to any group size.

Where does the game take place?

The game is played right at the table in your location - whether restaurant, hotel or your own company. No additional room, no rearranging necessary.

How large are the teams?

The game is played in teams of 4-6 people. Multiple teams play simultaneously against each other - in a friendly competition.

Do we play against the clock or just against each other?

Both! The teams have one hour and compete simultaneously against each other. This creates excitement and plenty of laughs.

Do we need special materials or technology?

No, we bring everything with us: game materials, little extras and good spirits. You simply provide tables, chairs and a good dose of team spirit.

In which languages is the game available?

The game is available simultaneously in German and English. Mixed groups are also no problem.

Is the game suitable for all age groups?

Yes, the game is specifically designed for adults in company or team events. Humorous riddles and festive atmosphere make it attractive for mixed age groups as well.

How does the supervision work?

An experienced game master introduces the game, accompanies the entire time, gives tips, takes photos and ensures smooth operation.

What does the game cost?

Classic Edition: CHF 39.90 per person Dinner Edition: CHF 49.90 per person (depending on location also bookable as a package with menu, drinks or aperitif)

Is there also a variant for small groups?

Yes! For smaller teams we offer a "Self-Hosted" variant of the game. We send you the complete game set by post including very brief instructions. This way you can run the game without a game master - for example directly at your Christmas dinner in a restaurant or in your office.

From how many people is the Self-Hosted version available?

This variant is suitable from 5 people onwards and is ideal for small groups.

How much preparation time do you need on site?

Just a few moments - the setup is very straightforward and done in a few minutes.

Can guests simply watch if they don't want to solve riddles?

No, the game is designed so that everyone participates actively. The riddles can only be solved together as a team.

Is the game also suitable for international teams?

Yes. The game is available in German and English, and you don't need to read much. It's enough if at least one person per team speaks German or English.

How does it work if we have over 200 people?

No problem - even large groups play simultaneously. Preparation might take ten minutes longer, but the process remains the same.

Do guests need to divide into teams beforehand?

No. Teams form automatically based on the seating arrangement at the tables. If someone really wants to play with someone else, they should sit next to that person.

Are there prizes for the winning teams?

Yes, a prize for the best team is included in the offer. Companies can also contribute their own prizes for the winning teams if they wish.

How flexible are you with start time and schedule?

The start time is agreed in advance. We are flexible within the evening programme and adapt to your organisation.

When in the evening should the game be played?

We recommend playing the game at the beginning of the evening - ideally before the starter. If there is an aperitif, the time between aperitif and starter is suitable. With the Dinner Edition, the game is played in two parts: before and after the starter. The game should definitely not take place after the main course - then the energy is more in the stomach than in the head.
