Question 1

Can this experience be done hybrid?

Accepted Answer

Winter Mini Games is not suitable for a hybrid environment as it requires the use of breakout rooms. For virtual experiences that can be enjoyed in office or streamed live at home, check out our [hybrid collection](https://www.withconfetti.com/collection/hybrid-experiences).

Question 2

What holiday does this celebrate?

Accepted Answer

Our Holiday Games, including Winter Mini Games, are not specific to one holiday in particular and include multiple winter holidays that celebrate the festive time of year (e.g. Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa). They do not skew more towards one than the other and do not include religious undertones at all.

Additionally, our Holiday and Winter themes are globally-friendly! Inclusivity is important to us and we ensure that it is a part of all of our offerings.

If you have strong company values/hopes for the experience that you’d like us to accommodate, please let us know in the ‘special request’ section.

Question 3

We have played Winter Mini Games before. Can we play again?

Accepted Answer

You can play again, but we only have one version of Winter Mini Games. We recommend trying out another one of our [Holiday Party](https://www.withconfetti.com/collection/holiday) experiences for some variety and fun for the whole team!

Question 4

How is the game hosted?

Accepted Answer

Winter Mini Games comes facilitated with a **Confetti game organizer**, who will create and host the Zoom meeting for you — free of charge! This is to ensure a seamless game experience and to take as many hosting duties off your plate as possible.

At the start of your event, your game organizer will go over the instructions and rules of the game. From there, players will be delegated into breakout rooms where they will play the game! Your game organizer will remain in the main Zoom room throughout the experience in case anyone has questions or troubleshooting needs.

At the end of the experience, your game organizer will bring everyone back together in the main room, pass off hosting rights to a member of your party, and hop off the call so your group can hang out!

Question 5

Can I request a specific host?

Accepted Answer

We are unable to guarantee certain hosts for Winter Mini Games, as their booking is dependent on availability. Please drop a note in the 'special requests' section when booking, and we'll do our best to make it happen. Either way, we promise you'll have a wonderful experience with any of our vetted hosts!

Question 6

What if my team does not have access to Google Drive?

Accepted Answer

If you are able to view this [document](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iSIf_mHfq8sTuk1WneAyXraehx3xoDlc5AAa6jGHUSE/edit#gid=0), you have access to Google Drive.

For teams that don’t have access, we provide a link tool alternative. On the day of the event, your host will create and distribute links to participants using [Linktree](https://linktr.ee/). No download required!

Please let us know if you'll need an alternative in the ‘special requests’ section.

Question 7

Can we create team names?

Accepted Answer

Teams are not able to create names since they are generated randomly within the game.

Question 8

Can we have teams of more than 5 people?

Accepted Answer

Each game can accommodate **a maximum of 5 participants**. We've found that teams larger than 5 aren't able to collaborate effectively to solve the puzzles since there are so many people in one Zoom room. If you have multiple teams, all groups will play Winter Mini Games at the same time.

Question 9

Can we re-randomize teams throughout the game?

Accepted Answer

Due to the structure and duration of Winter Mini Games, we are unable to re-randomize teams during the game.

Question 10

Will participants run into any issues if they join late?

Accepted Answer

Latecomers will have no problem accessing game links so long as their team doesn't go over the 5 person maximum per game link. They'll simply be brought to wherever the rest of their team is on their Winter Mini Games! (So if they're late and their team has already started, they will miss whichever parts of the game their team has completed.)

You can always give 5-10 min of wiggle room for people to enter the main room of Zoom and have everyone do the 'icebreaker' found on your games sheet.

Question 11

Can we skip questions?

Accepted Answer

Participants are not able to skip from question to question. You will have 30 seconds to enter the correct answer before moving onto the next question. If the timer is up before you are able to complete the question, the game will automatically move onto the next round.

Question 12

Will participants return to the main room once the game is over?

Accepted Answer

Participants will be broken up into teams using breakout rooms, and will play through Winter Mini Games in separate rooms. If you finish early, encourage your team to pop back into the main room to hang out! At the end of the experience, your Confetti Game Organizer will return your team to the main room to wrap up the event.

Question 13

What if fewer people show up than planned for?

Accepted Answer

This experience is eligible for [Refundable Attendance](https://www.withconfetti.com/resources/document/refundable-attendance-policy). If you would like a refund for participants who did not attend, please reach out to our support team (support@withconfetti.com) within 2 business days after your event to confirm your booking meets the criteria and we’ll refund you with Confetti Credits.

Question 14

Can the duration of this experience be adjusted?

Accepted Answer

At this time, we are unable to customize or adjust the duration of Winter Mini Games. The game itself takes about **45 minutes** to play through. For the best experience, we recommend planning for an event that is **60 minutes** long to account for setup, instructions, and gameplay.

If your team has a hard stop that they need to finish playing by, please note this in the 'special requests' section while planning so we can notify your Game Organizer!

Question 15

Can we play Mini Games without the charity component?

Accepted Answer

Winter Mini Games comes with a free donation — courtesy of Confetti! If your team is unable to participate in charity, you can opt out of this part by letting event support know in the 'special requests' section.

Question 16

Is this game work appropriate and international friendly?

Accepted Answer

Our games are designed with corporate teams in mind and, based on customer input, we consider Winter Mini Games to be international-friendly! However, we are a U.S.-based team and some questions may require basic knowledge of U.S. pop culture.

Make sure to let us know about group details and any other relevant info in the ‘special requests’ section of your booking. We can’t guarantee content adjustments, but we gladly welcome feedback.

Question 17

What if less people show up than I planned for?

Accepted Answer

If not all players are able to make it to this event, we can certainly send you any unused game links afterwards for those players to complete Winter Mini Games at their leisure!

Unused game links **do not expire** so they can be played whenever! Please note, however, that once a link has been used it cannot be used again. Unused game links **cannot** be put towards future events.
