Step-by-Step Instructions

This interactive mingling game combines mystery, social interaction and strategic thinking to create an energetic atmosphere. Finding Nemo transforms a simple handshake activity into an engaging conga-line formation process that encourages participants to connect with everyone in the room. The active group game requires no props and minimal setup, making it perfect for conferences, team-building sessions or community events. This fun community-building activity generates laughter and movement while developing observation skills.

Finding Nemo – Interactive Mingling Game
  1. Appoint a secret person in your group using a random method, ie this person will be ‘Nemo.’
  2. Everyone (including Nemo) mingles about the area greeting one another with a gentle handshake, only ever asking the question “ARE YOU NEMO?”
  3. Everyone (including Nemo) must answer this question with “NO.”
  4. However, after greeting the first five to ten people, Nemo will answer “YES” to all further questions.
  5. When a person receives a “YES” to their question, they are invited to quickly and silently form a conga-line behind Nemo.
  6. Everyone aims to form a part of the conga-line, yet avoid being the last person to join it.
  7. It is not necessary for an individual to shake the hands of Nemo to join the conga-line.
  8. The game concludes once everyone becomes a part of the line.
  9. Play several rounds, or try a variation.

    Think I have seen this game run as a school camp tradition as there evening activity before sunset.. wonder if it was your group Sean 🙂 Looks really cool.

    Going to give that one a try as a welcome activity for our groups. It looked fun when the teachers and kids were playing it outdoors over the whole campsite.

    This game is now a tradition for our Year 5 Camp as an unforgettable night activity. I would suggest that when playing this game you remind “Nemo” to keep moving and pick a teacher occasionally for a bit of extra FUNN:).
