We brought five games to Hungary and ran them across three evenings, each one sized and paced for a different kind of crowd. The opening evening was the only moment the whole 180-person group came together: Glamour Society, a 1920s Prohibition-era party game with dressing-up, team tasks, interviewing, and a final quiz. Light enough that nobody felt put on the spot, social enough that it did exactly what a first evening should do: break the ice across offices, time zones and job titles.

From the second evening onwards, colleagues chose their own adventure. The Superhero Challenge sent teams of up to 80 through a points-based hero journey with quizzes, creative tasks and an actor-led finale. The Underwood Mystery split 30 players into detective teams to solve a murder, with professional actor-investigators roaming between tables. Don't Be Afraid of the Wolf ran as an intimate cooperative board game for groups of up to 16, driven by a game master and built on bluffing, storytelling and reading the room. And the Bitrise Special Edition, a custom-tailored improv theatre and quiz hybrid, gave participants the chance to shape a live show from their seats.

Every game ran in English, every game ran to a full house given its capacity, and nobody had to do anything they did not want to do.
