Crazy 8s

Come eseguirlo

1. 1

   Give each participant an A4 sheet of paper.

2. 2

   Have them fold it in half three times to create 8 equal panels.

3. 3

   Set a timer for 8 minutes. Participants sketch one idea per panel — 1 minute each.

4. 4

   Ideas should be rough sketches with labels, not polished artwork. Stick figures and boxes are fine.

5. 5

   When time is up, participants share their sketches with a partner or the group.

6. 6

   Discuss which ideas spark the most interest or energy.

7. 7

   Select the most promising ideas for deeper development.

Suggerimenti

• Warn participants upfront: the goal is NOT one great idea, it's eight different ideas.

• If they get stuck, encourage them to think: variations, opposites, extremes, combinations.

• The constraint is the point.

Variazioni

Run '6-Up' (6 ideas in 6 minutes) for a slightly less pressured variant. Use digital tools like Figma or Miro for remote teams. Apply to UI sketching, marketing copy, or business model variations.
