About the game

Every team becomes a band with one goal: the Christmas Number One. Pick your genre, from power ballad to festive rap, and get writing.

Teams use prompt cards to write their lyrics, solve a rhyme-chain puzzle, design their sleeve art from shapes and get their band name from a generator.

At the end, the host plays a short performance from each team, and everyone votes to decide the chart. It's very social, very shareable and there are no wrong answers.

What to expect

  • A creative challenge rather than a quiz or escape game
  • Lyric prompt cards, a rhyme-chain puzzle and a band name generator
  • Sleeve art designed by your team
  • Each team's performance played back to everyone
  • A company-wide vote for the Christmas Number One

Questions

Do we have to sing?

Only if you want to. Teams can sing, speak, rap or have one brave volunteer perform for everyone.

Do we need any musical talent?

Not at all. The prompts and generators do the heavy lifting, and enthusiasm counts for more than talent.

How does a hosted virtual game work?

Everyone joins your usual video call. We split the group into teams of up to 10, each in its own breakout room with a dedicated host who shares the game on screen and types in the answers the team agrees on. A live leaderboard keeps the competition going.

How far ahead do we need to book?

At least 48 hours ahead, Monday to Friday. Same-day sessions are sometimes possible on request: book as usual and we will confirm as quickly as we can.

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

There is no maximum. The minimum booking is £150 + VAT, so groups under 13 people pay the minimum.
