For team building

Break the ice without a single trust fall in sight.

New hires and old-timers don't bond over a slideshow. Findyst turns your offsite or onboarding day into a scavenger hunt with randomly shuffled teams, so people from different departments are forced to talk, laugh, and remember each other's names.

Sound familiar?

The same three problems come up at every offsite.

Departments sit at the same tables at every event and never actually mix.

Shuffle players into random teams with one setting, so marketing ends up next to engineering whether they like it or not.

Printing lists and manually scoring submissions eats hours you don't have before a recurring onboarding session.

Points and auto-graded text challenges tally themselves, and duplicating last quarter's game takes a minute instead of a rebuild.

Dead air between keynote sessions is where conference attendees start checking their phones and drifting off.

A quick, phone-based challenge keeps a live leaderboard running during breaks, so there's a reason to stay in the room.

How it works for your next offsite

  1. Before the offsite

    Build it in the time it takes to grab coffee

    Start from a template or duplicate last quarter's game. Choose random team shuffling to force department mixing, or pre-assign teams yourself.

  2. During the session

    Departments mix, not just sit near each other

    Employees join by scanning a QR code, with nothing to install on a work phone. The live leaderboard and activity feed keep the energy up between challenges.

  3. After the wrap-up

    Close the event with a highlight reel

    Project the live photo slideshow during the closing session. Download every photo and share a branded leaderboard afterward.

Built for cross-departmental mixing

Force the mixing

Random teams turn floor-mates into teammates, on purpose.

  • Shuffle players into random teams so departments actually mix instead of clustering.
  • Or pre-assign teams if you already know which people need to work together.
  • A live leaderboard keeps energy up between sessions and breaks.
No facilitator manual

Set it up once, reuse it every quarter.

  • Start from a ready-made template or duplicate last quarter's game.
  • Approve photos before they're visible if HR needs a clean, professional feed.
  • Project the live activity feed or photo slideshow during the wrap-up session.

New hires used to sit alone at lunch for a week. After the onboarding hunt, they already had inside jokes with three other departments.

Questions, answered

Can we force people from different departments onto the same team?

Yes. Randomly shuffle every player into new teams with one setting before the game starts.

This is the fastest way to break up existing cliques at an offsite or onboarding day. If you'd rather control the groupings yourself, pre-assigned teams work too.

Do employees need to install anything on their work phones?

No. They scan a QR code and play in their browser, with no app store and no account approval.

That matters for locked-down corporate devices. IT doesn't need to whitelist anything, and there's nothing to uninstall after the event.

Can we reuse this game for our next onboarding cohort or quarterly offsite?

Yes. Duplicate any past game with one click and tweak the challenges instead of rebuilding from scratch.

Keep a library of your best icebreakers and swap in new challenges each quarter so the format doesn't go stale.

No facilitator script, no printed handouts. Just a QR code and a game that actually mixes your team.
