BTW interesting alternative
Personally computer games leave me cold but worked in a few companies with better ideas...
table football/ice hockey etc
Lego/mechanno etc, not the little ones but the huge models
Both help - when people are stuck they take a break and add to the model/play a bit, but they talk to each other while doing so, often the talking and explaining solves the problem and all parties return to their desks with new info/ideas/solutions and finish the job.
Similarly ALL companies should have comfy seats and massive numbers of whiteboards in kitchens, canteens and the likes... very productive
Biting the hand that feeds IT
