You only get one chance to make a first impression
.
Every new employee asks themselves three unspoken questions: Can I join in? Is this a good team? Do you care about me? The onboarding game answers all three with a yes.
Your goal
You want new employees to feel welcome, connected, and engaged from day one
A person’s first day at work shapes their view of your organization. Make that impression unforgettable.
Answer these three unconscious questions: Can I join? Is this a good group? Do you care about me?
Accelerates the socialization process from weeks to hours
Help new employees get to know the organization in a fun and engaging way
Create a memorable moment they'll never forget

Why Standard Onboarding Doesn't Work
Information overload
New employees are bombarded with information on their first day. After a week, 90% of it has been forgotten.
IT Onboarding as a Welcome
Setting up laptops, learning systems, resetting passwords. Is that really your first impression?
No connection to the team
A tour and lunch with the manager. But that’s not how you build a real connection.
No sense of belonging
New employees feel like outsiders for weeks on end. This takes a toll on their motivation and productivity.
The solution
The benefits of the onboarding game
An integral part of the team
By playing together, you can build the kind of bond in a matter of hours that would normally take weeks.
Getting to know an organization through experience
You don’t learn about culture, values, and colleagues from a textbook—you learn by experiencing them.
Pre-game for the first day back at work
Optional: a digital game that starts with an introductory session even before the first day of work.
Post-game discussion for further exploration
Following the onboarding game, there will be a follow-up featuring micro-learning and challenges.
