Split Start Games add a unique layer to an experience’s puzzle flow. With teams beginning, as the name implies, separated into two or more smaller groups, the immediate goal becomes finding a way to communicate, allowing both sides to work together towards reconnecting. The very best Split Start Games find a flawless balance between challenges and skill sets, creating a unique experience that at no point hinders the forward momentum of the other half of the team.
