Question 1

Why can’t this experience be done in a hybrid setting?

Accepted Answer

Our **remote-only** experiences are designed to be played by participants on individual devices in separate spaces. Each participant will need their own device to utilize features necessary to gameplay such as breakout rooms, the chat box, turning individual cameras on and off, etc.

If participants are not fully remote for this experience, your host will have to pivot to our **fun and interactive** Speed Puzzler game since we will not be able to run the event as intended. For experiences that can accommodate hybrid participants, check out our  [hybrid experiences](https://www.withconfetti.com/collection/hybrid-experiences).

Question 2

We have played Black History & Culture Mini Games before. Can we play again?

Accepted Answer

We only have one version of Black History & Culture Mini Games. If you've played before, we recommend trying out [Black History & Culture Jeoparty](https://www.withconfetti.com/product/virtual-black-history-jeoparty) instead!

Question 3

How is the game hosted?

Accepted Answer

Black History & Culture Games comes facilitated with a **Confetti game organizer**, who will create and host the Zoom meeting for you — free of charge! This is to ensure a seamless game experience and to take as many hosting duties off your plate as possible.

At the start of your event, your game organizer will go over the instructions and rules of the game. From there, players will be delegated into breakout rooms where they will play the game! Your game organizer will remain in the main Zoom room throughout the experience in case anyone has questions or troubleshooting needs.

At the end of the experience, your game organizer will bring everyone back together in the main room, pass off hosting rights to a member of your party, and hop off the call so your group can hang out!

Question 4

Who is the host for this experience?

Accepted Answer

All of our Black History Games are created and led by knowledgeable Black hosts who are passionate about bringing their cultural and historical knowledge to audiences across all demographics. Because we work with a handful of vendors, we will not be able to confirm the specific vendor until after booking.

Question 5

Can I request a specific host?

Accepted Answer

We are unable to guarantee certain hosts for Black History & Culture Games, as their booking is dependent on availability. Please drop a note in the 'special requests' section when booking, and we'll do our best to make it happen. Either way, we promise you'll have a wonderful experience with any of our vetted hosts!

Question 6

Is this game work appropriate and international friendly?

Accepted Answer

Our Black History Games are designed with corporate teams in mind and, based on customer input, we consider this game to be international-friendly! However, we are a U.S.-based team and some questions may require basic knowledge of U.S. pop culture.

Please make sure to enter your group details and any other relevant info in the ‘context for your host’ section of your event briefing after booking. We can’t guarantee content adjustments, but we gladly welcome feedback.

Question 7

What if my team does not have access to Google Drive?

Accepted Answer

If you are able to view this [document](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ujVeyIhPYkWPIT64kiKO715zWdRGR15vcdaiXcsNLqI/edit#gid=0), you have access to Google Drive!

For teams that don’t have access, we will provide a PDF in the Zoom chat. Please let us know if you'll need an alternative in the ‘special requests’ section.

Question 8

Can we create team names?

Accepted Answer

Teams are not able to create names since they are generated randomly within the game.

Question 9

Can we have teams of more than 5 people?

Accepted Answer

Each game can accommodate **a maximum of 5 participants**. We've found that teams larger than 5 aren't able to collaborate effectively to solve the puzzles since there are so many people in one Zoom room. If you have multiple teams, all groups will play Black History & Culture Mini Games at the same time.

Question 10

Can we re-randomize teams throughout the game?

Accepted Answer

Due to the structure and duration of Black History & Culture Mini Games, we are unable to re-randomize teams during the game.

Question 11

Will participants run into any issues if they join late?

Accepted Answer

Latecomers will have no problem accessing game links so long as their team doesn't go over the 5 person maximum per game link. They'll simply be brought to wherever the rest of their team is on their Black History Games! (So if they're late and their team has already started, they will miss whichever parts of the game their team has completed.)

You can always give 5-10 min of wiggle room for people to enter the main room of Zoom and have everyone do the 'icebreaker' found on your games sheet.

Question 12

Can we skip questions?

Accepted Answer

Participants are not able to skip from question to question. You will have 30 seconds to enter the correct answer before moving onto the next question. If the timer is up before you are able to complete the question, the game will automatically move onto the next round.

Question 13

Will participants return to the main room once the game is over?

Accepted Answer

Participants will be broken up into teams using breakout rooms, and will play through their Black History Games in separate rooms. If you finish early, encourage your team to pop back into the main room to hang out! At the end of the experience, your Confetti Game Organizer will return your team to the main room to wrap up the event.

Question 14

Can this event be recorded? Can a photo be taken?

Accepted Answer

📸 **Photos / screenshots:** Our hosts always do their best to catch a screenshot at the end. If you would like a photo, feel free to remind your host at the start of your event.

📹 **Video recordings:** Due to the use of breakout rooms, we are **not** able to record this event. Thanks for your understanding!

Question 15

How many winners are there? Can we award prizes?

Accepted Answer

Prizes are **not** included or required. You're welcome to source your own prizes, just keep us posted in 'special requests' so our hosts can announce it. There will be one winning team with up to 5 players maximum. The leaderboard highlights the top 3 placing teams overall.

Question 16

Can the duration of this experience be adjusted?

Accepted Answer

At this time, we are unable to customize or adjust the duration of Black History & Culture Mini Games. The game itself takes about **45 minutes** to play through. For the best experience, we recommend planning for an event that is **60 minutes** long to account for setup, instructions, and gameplay.

If your team has a hard stop that they need to finish playing by, please note this in the 'special requests' section while planning so we can notify your Game Organizer!

Question 17

Can we play Mini Games without the meal donation?

Accepted Answer

Black History & Culture Mini Games comes with a free meal donation — courtesy of Confetti! If your team is unable to participate in charity, you can opt out of this part by letting event support know in the 'special requests' section.

Question 18

What if fewer people show up than planned for?

Accepted Answer

This experience is eligible for [Refundable Attendance](https://www.withconfetti.com/help-center/en/collections/6372743-refundable-attendance-policy). If you would like a refund for participants who did not attend, please reach out to our support team (support@withconfetti.com) within 2 business days after your event to confirm your booking meets the criteria and we’ll refund you with Confetti Credits.
