Predict the Coworker
Predict the Coworker is a "read the room" team game in Give River. Each prompt asks something like "Who's most likely to reply to email at midnight?" and lists a few teammates as the options. The twist: you don't pick who you think — you try to pick who the group will pick. Match the crowd's most-popular answer and you earn Drops.

How It Works
- Your host opens a round with one or more prompts. Each prompt lists coworkers as the answer options.
- You choose the teammate you think most of the team will pick.
- When the round closes, Give River counts every vote and the most-picked person becomes the "answer." Anyone who chose that person earns Drops (if your team has rewards configured); the reveal also shows the full vote breakdown.
- It rewards reading the room, not being an insider — the crowd decides the answer, together.
Where You'll Play
Just like the other team games:
- Inside a video event — a host runs it live during a group call; the prompt appears for everyone with a countdown, and the group's pick is revealed when the round closes.
- From the Team Games area — a Play Now button appears while a round is open.
Playing a Round
- Open the round (Play Now, or it appears during a live video event).
- Read the prompt and tap the teammate you think the group will choose. You can change your pick until you submit.
- Submit before the timer ends (your current pick is sent automatically if time runs out).
- When the host closes the round, the reveal shows the group's pick for each prompt, who matched it, and any Drops you earned.
Rules and Limits
- You play each round once, and your pick locks in when you submit.
- You earn by matching the group's most-popular choice for each prompt. If a prompt ends in a tie, the earliest option in the list is treated as the group's pick.
- Rounds are open only while the host keeps them open.
Tips
- Think about the team, not yourself. The question isn't who you'd pick — it's who everyone else will.
- Go with the obvious answer. Consensus games reward the popular read, not the clever one.
- Watch the reveal. Seeing who the team collectively nominated is usually the funniest part.
