Here is the simplest way to run it with coworkers.

How to play

  1. Create your FriendRank game

    Add names, pick a tone, and choose prompts that fit your team.

  2. Share one link with your group

    Send the game link in Slack, Teams, or email. Everyone opens it on their phone.

  3. Vote anonymously and reveal the results

    Each person votes privately. When enough votes are in, results unlock on the same link for everyone.
