FAQ

so, what’s the meet cart?

The Meet Cart is a mobile structure where unfamiliar people become unexpected pals---it's where strangers meet, greet and play through games, prompts and activities. Amidst COVID19, Betterish has been bringing it to a virtual space and word on the street it's been just as fun. Check out what participants have been saying about their Meet Cart experiences here.

cool but why bring the meet cart to a virtual happy hour?

In playing a game geared for people to get to know each other in a fun, light-hearted format, the Meet Cart is a vehicle that transforms social lulls into laughter.

sounds fun. so the happy hour basically consists of playing a communal game together in a zoom room?

You got it! Specifically, we will play a game called 7 Second Stories. In consecutive rounds, participants will be prompted to draw something...in only 7 seconds. Let’s be real: no one can draw anything that great in 7 seconds. The goal is to get all of your colleagues in a more creative, active headspace. The scribbles end up sparking funny, interesting and meaningful conversations.

Prompts range from "you have 7 seconds to write down your favorite song you like to jam to at work," to "you have 7 seconds to draw what you miss most about the office right now," to "you have 7 seconds to draw a source of hope or optimism right now."

here’s what participants have been saying…

We were struggling to find a way to connect over the past several months. staring at a Zoom room of 30 people was not anyone’s idea of a good time. I reached out to Emily after participating in a Monday Meet Cart session with the hopes that she could facilitate some conversations and help us actually have fun at happy hour. The first one was a hit, and the second. Her game is engaging, thoughtful, fun and gave us a way to talk about the important things in a challenging time. We will be back.

Emily’s interactive facilitation at the Meet Cart helped our graduate business school community to open up and connect as we work to adapt to virtual learning and networking. The WAY SHE FACILITATED encouraged us to focus on things that we love and appreciate—sharing those with each other allowed us to start our semester off in SUCH A meaningful way. Emily helped to set a positive tone DURING a time where it is critical for us to work together to build intentional connections, and for that we are incredibly grateful.

Emily hosted a virtual Meet Cart Happy Hour for our remote team of 10 people during the Safer-at-Home orders. It was such a great way for our team to re-connect and bond with an organized and fun activity. We all had a good laugh and learned lots of new things about each other. I highly recommend booking one for your team today!

Emily from Betterish hosted an all-company Happy Hour for our 22 person company. It was month three of remote working from home and we were sensing that everyone needed a lift, some fun together and not another meeting where just a few people speak to a gallery view of deadpan faces-in-squares. The Meet Cart Happy Hour was a perfect way to come together, talk through some things, and get to know each other better. She was a fun, exuberant host, and an expert on Zoom. we loved the breakout rooms! And now we have a great playlist for the office, once we are ever all together again
