Toolkit • Games
Six ways to find out what your workplace actually does.
Most organisations have the policies. Far fewer can say, out loud and with evidence, that the policies work. These six games are built to surface that gap — not to grade you on it. Play them solo in ten minutes, or run them as a facilitated session with your team.
Free, no account needed, and open for you to adapt.
Five modules, one finale
Module 1 • Policies, Safeguards & Workplace Safety
Equality Safeguards Bingo
Mark each safeguard as in place, partial, or missing. The catch: you only win by justifying what you marked. A policy nobody can point to isn't a safeguard.
Module 2 • Recruitment, Promotion & Career
Fair Decision Escape Room
Your team is the Equality Review Team. Five HR puzzles — unequal pay, loaded interview notes, a promotion that happened in a corridor. Solve them all to unlock the code.
Module 3 • Communication & Inclusive Language
Assumption Alert
Walk through one ordinary working day. Catch the assumptions as they pass — the ones that sound like nothing, and land like something.
Module 4 • Inclusive Decision-Making
Bias Observer
Twenty-five moments are hiding across a day of meetings — interruptions, credit quietly reassigned, the same idea heard differently. How many do you catch?
Module 5 • Inclusive Leadership
Inclusion Pathways
Ninety days as a leader with real decisions and a finite budget of attention. Culture doesn't change in a workshop. See what it takes.
Finale • Across all five modules
Myth or Fact?
Fifteen statements about gender equality at work. Some are true. Some are the kind of thing everyone knows and nobody has checked. Sort them.
