How it works
Three steps and your whole team is in.

Take turns

Why it works for a work break
Everybody knows how hangman goes, so the round starts without a word of explanation. What changes here is that nobody is against anybody: the team wins or loses each puzzle together.
Turns matter more than they seem. In most group activities two or three people do all the talking; here the next letter belongs to whoever's turn it is, and the quietest person in the room ends up being the one who cracks the phrase.
It also suits remote and hybrid teams: paste the room link in your chat or show the QR code on a shared screen, and each person joins from their own device.
