How it plays

Four phases. 15 min.

Idea Exchange runs in two phases. First, everyone generates ideas independently against the same prompt. Then ideas are anonymised, redistributed, and players combine pairs into stronger third ideas. The best remix wins. It’s sticky-note brainstorming, structured for actually shipping.

Phase 01

Solo

120s

Everyone writes 3 ideas in private.

Phase 02

Shuffle

10s

Ideas anonymised and redistributed.

Phase 03

Remix

150s

Players combine 2 ideas into a stronger third.

Phase 04

Vote

60s

Room votes on best combos.

Why teams use it

It works because it’s structured.

01

Beats sticky-note brainstorms

Solo phase prevents groupthink. Remix phase prevents loneliness.

02

Identifies hidden synthesisers

Quiet people often win remix rounds. They get noticed.

03

Outputs are usable

Every winning combo is exportable as a one-pager.

Sample prompts

What you might play with.

01 "How might we cut handoff time between product and eng?"
02 "What would make our worst process 10× better?"
03 "Three ways to get 100 more customers without hiring."

Best for.
