"This Person Does Not Exist" Game
This little Agile Game I invented myself some weeks ago.
I had one test with an agile Open Space Community and I think they had a lot of fun.
It bears no resemblance to any games I know... :-)

GOAL OF THE GAME:
• This game is originally meant to be an Icebreaker - it's supposed to be fun...
• But it also offers an opportunity to reflect on how one usually judges people
• In addition, with the optional step 4, you can discuss together in the team how to keep a cross-functional team made up of different characters together.
• It also allows you to reflect about how different characters can influence the team.
NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2-12
TIME: 20 - 60 min. (depends on using the optional parts)
INSTRUCTION:
First Step (about 4 min.):
• Go to https://this-person-does-not-exist.com/en.
• Keep clicking "Refresh Image" until you find a photo of someone who might be your co-worker.
• Use the right mouse button over the image and copy it to the clipboard ("Save image as" dialog)
• Go to your Miro board and paste the graphic from the clipboard with ctrl+v (win) or command+v (mac).
• Click on the picture in Miro and a small circle will appear at the edge where you can grab and scale the picture. Drag it to a size that fits in the pre-made frame in the workspace below. Move your picture there.
Second Step (about 4 min.):
• Give the person in your picture a suitable first and last name.
• Think of a job (colleague) for the person.
• Describe the main character traits of the person
Third Step (1-2 min. per person)
• Introduce the new person to your Team.
Fourth Step (optional - about 10 - 15 min.):
• Copy the picture into the Team Area on the right side and create a cross functional team together.
• Which role does which person have?
• How do the characters get along?
Fifth Step (optional - about 4 min.):
• Google the web for a person with the same name as your virtual person and see if there are any similarities between the two.
