Why secret ratings work at work

At the office, people often wait to see what the boss thinks. With hidden scores, nobody knows how anyone else rated until the reveal, so every vote counts the same.

Each contest is an activity in Jury, and each entry is a round. Send the invitation link before the party, and everyone can rate from their own phone.

Contests for the office party

  1. The bake-off

    Volunteers bring a bake. Number the plates, rate every entry, and reveal the winner after dessert.

    Three to five Christmas beers wrapped in foil. Can anyone recognise their favourite?

  3. The jumper contest

    Each jumper is a round. Take a photo of each one, so people at the far tables can rate too.

  5. Department decorations

    Each team decorates its corner or a table. Everyone walks round and rates the lot.

  6. The best speech

    If there are toasts and speeches during the evening, rate them. Keep it kind: scores only go from 1 to 10.

Logistics for a big group

  • Create the activities and send the invitation link before the party, so people have the app ready.
  • Choose two or three contests. More than that takes over the evening.
  • Let everyone add their own entry as a round, so the host doesn’t have to type in 40 names.
  • Save the reveal for a fixed moment, like after dinner, and read the top three out loud.
  • Turn on photo moments, so a random guest is asked to take a picture of each round.

Questions and answers

How many people can join?

Everyone with a phone can rate. The contests work from a team of 20 to a party of 150.

Does everyone need to download the app?

Yes. Jury is free with no ads, and guests join with a link.

Can people see who gave which scores?

Only after the reveal. Before that, nobody can see anyone else’s scores.

What if not everyone rates?

The host can reveal anyway, and the results show what everyone who rated thought.
