Icebreaker Roulette: a question for everyone
Icebreaker Roulette takes the awkwardness out of going round the room. The host spins, and everyone gets a random light question and a place in the speaking order. When it's your turn you answer out loud in about thirty seconds. There is no typing and no scoring - it is purely for getting to know each other.

- Everyone gets a go. No typing, no points - just getting to know each other.

Questions
How many questions does each person get?
The host sets it in Setup - one each by default, or more if there's time.
Are the questions too personal?
No. They are light and work-safe: favourite foods, tools you couldn't work without, the best advice you've been given.
