MeCha Game Design Lab We're playing "Let's Make a Deal" at work and I need some suggestions for objects for people to find. →[More:]The idea is, we'll have three teams, and each team will get a list of oddball items they have to find in their own offices. The first team to gather everything on the list gets to have first pick of Door #1, #2, or #3. So we need items for the list, and also gag prizes (and maybe one good prize like candy) for door #1,2, and 3.

So far we have things like:
a stuffed animal
a postcard from another country
nail polish
needle and thread
a baby picture

...what else can you think of that would make for zany, wacky office antics?

Ardiril's got some good ones there.

* maybe a set of 4, or 5 coloured highlighters (depending on how many you know are in the office supply cabinet?)
* a picture of someone's entire family (not just their kids, I mean, but the whole group?)
* a wind up toy (I know you can find those on MY desk, I'm assuming there are others out there like me)
* a piece of UNCHEWABLY stale candy?

Awesome! I had forgotten about Rice-A-Roni and that will definitely be one of the prizes.
