Results from a 5 month study with 14 participants

There are so few opportunities for adults to really play. These games helped me get to know people, get more comfortable with people. Look at my current job, I JUST feel like I’m getting to know my team months in. It would have been great to have a few of these easy, fun sessions so we could get familiar with each other in a low stakes environment instead of a high pressure one 🥲
