What is Confetti's Coworker Feud? 🧐

Confetti's Coworker Feud is an exciting and fast-paced online survey match game designed for team bonding and competition, led by a lively host. In this game, teams compete against each other to guess the most popular answers to a variety of random survey-style questions across a variety of themes. For example, players may be asked to name something they'd hate to discover wasn't working during their morning routine.

In the main round, teams take turns guessing the top 5 or 6 survey responses to various questions. If a team gives three incorrect answers, the opposing team gets a chance to answer. The final lightning round allows all teams to compete and buzz in.

Whoever ends the game with the highest number of points emerges as the winning team. Confetti's Coworker Feud is a fun and competitive survey game that does not rely on specific knowledge, which makes it perfect for teams seeking an engaging experience where everyone can let their personality and humor shine.

What makes Confetti's Coworker Feud unique? 🤔

When discussing what makes Confetti's Coworker Feud unique, Savvy, Confetti's Head of Games, praised the enthusiasm of the game hosts. "Something Confetti hosts excel at that is subtle, but goes a long way, is their reaction to when someone gets an answer wrong. Our hosts are always leaning towards the participants being right, and having great ideas. Even when an answer may be "incorrect", there's still that moment of support, banter, and interaction around the answer given. They really bring people in."

Through this friendly level of interaction, the game becomes more of an enjoyable experience for all. Savvy went on to say, "When you lower the stakes, sometimes people get more out of it. If they’re in a place where there’s less pressure and they're doing something for fun, not trying to impress someone, they'll let go a bit more and lose their inhibitions. Players get more out of the game because they're not afraid of being wrong."
