    I tried this activity as the opening “connections” activity at our staff meeting. People had a lot of fun with it! I put people in breakout rooms in pairs to solve it together and I only gave them 5 minutes. I was sure no one would solve it, but many did! And we all used different ways to get to the end. It was probably an easier one, and we only had time to do one, but I had a few others in my arsenal that are more challenging and I’ll use this at a different time. After I gave instructions, I put this in the chat:

    • Start here: Kevin Bacon – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Bacon
    • Click on links on each page (can be done in 5 clicks, but do as many as you need)
    • To end Here: Outer space – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_space
