Extravaganza

  1. everyone writes down an activity and an object (that go well together) on two pieces of paper, e.g. 'eating ... an apple'
  2. activity card is handed to the person on the left, and the object card is handed to the person on the right; thus, everyone gets a pair of cards X-Y, that probably doesn't make much sense
  3. there comes a tale: 'A man in an Italian suit walks up to you and says: I'd pay a fortune to be able to X-Y. Would you be able to help me?'
  4. everyone explains what device would enable (or make easier/more comfortable) the requested X-Y

Lateral Puzzles such as: A man walks into a bar, and asks for a glass of water. The bartender pulls a gun on him at which the man replies with ‘thank you’ and walks outside. The participants can ask questions that can only be answered with yes or no, until the situation can be explained logically: The man had the hick-ups. (look here for a nearly endless archive of Lateral Puzzles)

Word association game. Name a word, the person sitting next to you says the first word he or she associates with the word. Repeat untill the ‘word’ comes back to you. List the first and the last word associated and try to think of a logical scenario connecting the two.

Randomization: Every participant has to write down an activity and an object, then passes the activity to the right, and the object to the left. Then have each participants explain how their new combination would still make sense.
