Connection Gameshow™

A live, gameshow-style session where interaction meets laughter and awkward intros turn into real connection.

Led by our Wing People, it’s playful, competitive, and wildly effective—getting attendees to break the ice, guess mutuals, and send meaningful connection requests in real time.

It’s fast, fun, and built for humans. Not just job titles.

the connection gameshow

Where interaction meets live theatre—and awkward intros go to die.

An interactive, high-energy session designed to solve your networking problem—in style.

The Connection Gameshow™ turns awkward intros into memorable moments, using play, empathy, and a little friendly competition to spark real-time, meaningful connection between attendees.

Think: gameshow meets guided networking, hosted live by our Professional Wing People.

Phones come out (on purpose). LinkedIn gets human. Your attendees start conversations they actually want to continue—during the event and after.Perfect as an icebreaker, energy booster, or end-of-day closer, it’s a buzz-worthy activation that makes networking feel less like work—and more like fun.

Connection ROI: guaranteed.

Why you need it

It’s engaging. Gets everyone laughing, guessing, and talking—fast.

It’s inclusive. Great for extroverts and the socially-anxious.

It’s memorable. A real shared moment people will post about.

It’s useful. People leave with actual connections—not just name tags and tote bags.

It’s actionable. Leads to real LinkedIn convos (with context!).

How it works?

The Connection Gameshow™ isn’t a panel or a talk—it’s a live, guided experience that gets people laughing, guessing, and connecting in real time. With playful prompts, surprise reveals, and a little friendly competition, we turn LinkedIn into a tool for genuine connection—not cringe. All you need is your phone and a bit of curiosity.

Get in touch
01

Break the ice.

Participants pair up and ask each other light, curiosity-fueled questions (we’ll provide the prompts—think: "What’s the weirdest job you’ve ever had?" or "If LinkedIn had a karaoke feature, what would your song be?").

02

Make your guess.

Both players secretly guess how many mutual LinkedIn connections they share. No peeking.

03

Audience plays too.

Everyone votes via Mentimeter (or old-school signs) with multiple-choice options. Think pub quiz meets professional stalking.

04

Reveal the number.

We show the real number of mutuals live onscreen—and cue the surprise, delight, and inevitable Kevin Bacon moment.

05

Connect the dots.

We talk about who those mutuals are, how they’re connected, and what it says about their overlapping networks. This part = pure magic.

06

Add a dash of competition.

The one who guessed wrong owes the other a coffee or a Wing Snack™. Audience winners get a prize or shoutout. You decide.

06

Raising the Bar on Networking

We’re setting a new standard—where networking isn’t just effective, but also personal, intentional, and truly impactful.

🏆 Real stories from the game

star

🎓 The College Connection
I met Sara at the College of Extraordinary Experiences. We played the game. She guessed 2 mutuals, I guessed 7. Real answer? 6. She lost. Now she owes me lunch—and we’re both excited about it.

📸 The Surprise Selfie
At a career event in Stockholm, I played the game with Antoine. We discovered we both knew Sharon Green. We took a selfie and sent it to her on the spot. She replied in seconds—and we all laughed about it later on a group call.
