Ooh calling out is a great one! I do almost all with just my partner and I, so the group dynamics work themselves out much easier. I’ve done a couple small groups and one really big group in a room with a ton of puzzles and everyone kind of did their own thing in pairs. But small groups with 2 or 3 people need to be… Read more
