A quick office game your team will actually play

Climb Ascent takes about four minutes. Everyone gets the same seven prompts, and the rarest answers climb highest. It works in a browser, needs no sign-up, and fits in a coffee break.

Why it works at work

• Short. Seven rounds of 25 seconds. Done before the kettle boils.
• Shared. One puzzle a day for everyone, so there's always something to talk about at stand-up.
• Fair. No trivia experts winning every time: the obvious answer scores low, so anyone can top the board with one clever pick.
• Private. A rope team gives your office its own leaderboard with one invite link.
• Free. No ads, no app download, no email.

Ways to run it

• Daily ritual: everyone plays before the morning meeting, then compare altitudes.
• Friday shout-out: name the week's best trekker from your rope-team board.
• Remote teams: drop the invite link in Slack or Teams. Everyone plays in their own time zone.
• Offsites and onboarding: a four-minute icebreaker that gets people talking about their rarest answers.
