Top 5s is a free multiplayer guessing game designed for remote teams, Zoom calls, and corporate happy hours. No download, no IT setup, no awkward silence.
The Game
One team member writes their personal Top 5 list on any topic — "Top 5 things I'd bring to a desert island," "Top 5 underrated work perks," "Top 5 ways I procrastinate." Everyone else races to guess all five items and earn points.
It's part getting-to-know-you, part friendly competition, and 100% more fun than another round of "two truths and a lie." A full game takes 15–30 minutes and requires nothing but a browser and a link.
Use Cases
Kick off your next all-hands, kickoff, or team sync with a quick round. Gets everyone talking before the real agenda starts.
Replace the awkward "so… how was your week?" with an actual game. Works great with remote teams on Friday afternoons.
Holiday party, work anniversary, new hire welcome — Top 5s fills the time and actually bonds people, even across departments.
Help new hires get to know the team fast. Personal lists break the ice better than name-and-fun-fact introductions.
Make it a recurring ritual. One round at the start of your weekly standup or retro keeps team culture strong.
When your team spans timezones and cultures, Top 5s is language-flexible and works from any country on any device.
Category Ideas
The active player can pick from pre-set categories or write their own. Here are some team favorites:
Pro subscribers can use AI-generated category packs to create a full themed set of custom work topics in seconds — great for recurring team events.
Getting Started
Go to topfives.io in any browser. Enter your name and click Create Room. No account needed — the whole process takes 10 seconds.

Everyone stays on the video call while playing in their own browser tab. No screen sharing needed. React to the answers together in real time.
Each person gets to be the active player once per game, revealing something personal about themselves while the team scrambles to predict their answers.
