What will you tell who about what made your day today?

At the end of a meeting, participants have to go back to their boss, organization, community or family. There they'll asked a question like "what did you do?". This prepares them to that question, informs them about what others will say - and who   maybe the source of this message and it give them as well as you feedback on the session.

Consensus is a fast social-negotiation game that turns group decision-making into a spectator sport.

Every player is secretly paid to steer the group toward a different option, so the room has to actually talk, bargain and build coalitions to score at all.
