Engagement Activity – Spreadsheet Pixel Art
Object of the game
Ever tried Painting by Numbers? This is the spreadsheet version!
It’s a chance for people to take 10 minutes out of their day to do something different, be creative and unwind.
As the host you bring the creations together, reveal to the team and ask for scores.
Which picture will score the best? Did anyone go slightly off piece and create something random? Who thought outside the box?
Host Instructions

At the start of the event
