Most office whiteboards die as sad graveyards of old to‑do lists. This one turns into an engagement machine with a single ridiculous question: “Where would a giraffe wear a bow tie?” Suddenly people stop, vote, argue, and laugh on the way to their desks. Same board, different game.
Write a playful “Question of the Day” in big handwriting at the top. Draw two silly options (like giraffe bow tie at the neck vs. body). Add tally marks for each vote so the board fills itself. The art can be bad; in fact, bad doodles make it feel safer to join in.
Acme Software posts “Is a hotdog a sandwich?” with two cartoon hotdogs and watches engineers argue all week.
BrightDesk Studios runs a daily “Would you rather have coffee or endless vacation days?” poll to lure teammates to the kitchen whiteboard.
