What kind of experience are you looking for?
[Customize!] Act out a dream for the future
Use a small group to act out what you wish for the little one later in life in a single photo: a job, a hobby, an adventure. (Organizers: give a theme if you like, or let guests choose freely.)
[Customize!] Act out a highlight
Use a small group to act out a well-known highlight from the history of the guest of honour in a single photo. (Organizers: describe here which highlight should be acted out, for example a relocation, an award, the honeymoon or a legendary party.)
[Customize!] Act out a legendary moment
Use a small group to act out a well-known moment from the leaver's career in a single photo. (Organizers: describe here which moment should be acted out, for example a successful project, a famous blunder or a legendary company outing.)
[Customize!] Act out a team value
Use the whole team to act out one of your company values in a single photo, without showing the words themselves. (Organizers: fill in the value to be acted out here, for example "customer first", "dare to fail" or "stronger together".)
[Customize!] Act out the inside joke
Use a group to act out a well-known inside joke or running gag from the company in a single photo. (Organizers: briefly describe here which joke or habit should be acted out, so new colleagues can join in too.)
[Customize!] Around the office
Find a notable spot near the office (a statue, a building, a park, a famous street) and take a photo there. (Organizers: replace this with a GPS challenge to a specific local landmark, a trivia question about your neighborhood, or a photo prompt at your favorite local lunch spot.)
[Customize!] Company origin
Take a creative photo that represents your company's founding story: the moment, the place, the first product, the founders. (Organizers: replace this with a trivia question or photo prompt about your founding year, the founders' first office, your first customer, or your earliest product.)
[Customize!] Family fact
A question specifically about your own family. (Organizers: come up with a question, e.g. "What year did grandpa and grandma get married?" or "What was the name of the dog we had when we were little?", and add the answer.)
[Customize!] First mentor
Take a photo with the colleague your company has assigned as your buddy or mentor. (Organizers: replace this with a specific question the intern should ask their mentor before snapping the photo.)
[Customize!] First success story
Take a cohort photo at a place or with an artifact that represents an early company win (the first product, the first customer logo, the first office). (Organizers: pick the actual place, item or story and tell the cohort what they are looking for.)
[Customize!] Founders' corner
Find the spot where the company started or where the founders sit. Take a photo there. (Organizers: pick the actual desk, room or floor and tell the new hire what they are looking for.)
[Customize!] Founders' video
Take a photo or screenshot of yourself watching the founders' welcome video or a leadership intro clip. (Organizers: link to the actual video and ask for a one-line takeaway.)
[Customize!] Founders' welcome
Take a creative cohort photo that represents how your founders or leadership welcome new starters. (Organizers: replace this with a video clip from a founder, a trivia question about the founding team, or a photo prompt at a meaningful spot.)
[Customize!] How well do you know your team?
A question about your own team or company. (Organizers: come up with a question and add the answer, for example "Who has worked here the longest?", "What year was the company founded?" or "How many different nationalities work in this team?".)
[Customize!] Internship origin
Take a photo at the spot where the company first hired interns or where the intern program is run from. (Organizers: pick a real spot, person or moment in your intern history and tell the new intern what they are looking for.)
[Customize!] Local Christmas tradition
A question or task about a specific Christmas tradition of your group. (Organizers: come up with a question or photo task, e.g. "What date does grandma always cook Christmas dinner?" or "Photo by the tree where mum always hangs a specific star.")
[Customize!] Local intern hangout
Photograph yourself at the lunch or after-work spot interns from this company traditionally go. (Organizers: name the actual place and tell the intern who to go with.)
[Customize!] Local lunch hero
Photograph the lunch place closest to the office, or the one everyone keeps recommending. (Organizers: name the actual place and ideally make it the one new hires absolutely have to try.)
[Customize!] Local specialty
Find and eat a dish that is specifically tied to the city or region you are in. (Organizers: name the dish and ideally a recommended spot.)
[Customize!] Mission moment
As a cohort, interpret the company mission in one staged photo: each person can play a different role, prop, or symbol. (Organizers: replace this with a prompt referencing your specific mission statement, a defining customer story, or a real example of the mission in action.)
[Customize!] Our place
Go to a place tonight that is special to the two of you and take a photo there. (Date planner: replace this description with the place, or leave it a surprise the other has to guess.)
[Customize!] Our song
Play the song that is special to the two of you and really listen to it (or dance). Take a photo of the moment. (Date planner: fill in the song title so the other knows which song is meant.)
[Customize!] Question about the destination
A question specifically about the place you are today. (Teacher/organizer: come up with a question about this location, e.g. "How many roller coasters does this park have?" or "What year did this museum open?", and add the answer.)
[Customize!] Secret fact
A question only someone who knows the birthday child well can answer. (Organizers: replace this description with a real question, e.g. "What is the name of the birthday child's cuddly toy?", and add the answer.)
