How do you play One Must Go?

If playing as individuals, try starting with a few prepared prompts. You can pose each prompt to the group and open it up for discussion. You can also invite your staff to offer up their own One Must Go questions.

If your aim is to introduce team members that do not work together often try to play in smaller groups. You can treat it like a round-robin. Set a timer for each round and see how many prompts folks can get through in the allotted time. Then rotate, set the timer, and repeat.
