About Think Links: An Online Icebreaker Game

Think Links is an online / virtual icebreaker game based on the Think Links box set created by Edward de Bono. It is designed to help develop thinking skills and at the same time it can be used as an excellent icebreaker excercise/ session to help a group of people who may be meeting each other for the first time (for instance), to work together through conversation and thinking.

If you have a large group, use breakouts and circle back your ideas with the main group.

The creation of Think Links was inspired by a blog post written by Emily Webber where she talks about quick icebreakers for online meetings, (that don’t suck).
