Guess teammates' backgrounds
No facts yet. Start sharing!

Genuinely surprising ones that people are comfortable having read aloud. Unusual hobbies, unexpected past jobs, and unlikely places lived all work well.
Around a minute per fact including guessing and the reveal, so roughly fifteen minutes for a team of twelve.
