Decision framework
Mixed groups need a participation floor
Do not start with the loudest or most athletic participant. Start with the point at which the broadest group can join confidently, then layer energy above it.
Different roles matter
Good mixed-group formats reward communication, coordination, support, observation, and strategy, not only speed.
Waiting time magnifies discomfort
Short rounds, rotations, and visible team roles keep cautious participants connected to the event.

FAQ
Common planning questions
When should this page move into the Event Planner?
Use the Event Planner once you know approximate headcount, date range, venue direction, and the decision that is still open. The planner preserves this page context so Cohesion can respond with a sharper recommendation.
Should I choose an activity before confirming the venue?
For simple office groups, a shortlist can come first. For larger, weather-sensitive, or multi-zone events, venue fit and activity fit should move together.
Is this page replacing the activity pages?
No. This page helps you decide the direction. The activity pages still explain the actual format, game modes, setup, and request path.
