Guess the Sound Safari

Players play short mystery sounds; others guess the source—simple, surprising, and great on video calls.

How to Play

  1. 1Ask participants to prep a 3–5 second everyday sound (tap, pour, whistle).
  2. 2Play one sound at a time; group guesses the source.
  3. 3Reveal and share a quick story behind the sound.

Facilitator Guide

Opening Script:

"Cue up a 3–5 second everyday sound. When I say go, play it once; the group guesses. Then reveal and share a one‑line story."

Closing Script:

"Nice variety! These small artifacts spark curiosity—keep them short to sustain momentum."

Why This Works

Audio cues are novel on calls and prompt quick hypothesis‑making. The reveal invites personal stories without requiring deep disclosure.

Best For

  • Remote energizers
  • Icebreakers with minimal prep
  • Mixed‑camera meetings

Important Notes

  • Normalize low volume and one‑at‑a‑time playback
  • Avoid copyrighted music; prefer self‑made sounds
  • Share alternatives for low‑audio setups (describe instead)
