Progress makes its own adjustments not only in the achievements of technology, economics and design. He did not bypass the specifics of entertainment. If a few decades ago lotto, card games and Monopoly were practically the only entertainment for noisy companies, today the range and focus of exciting games have increased several times: Associations, Crocodile, Activity, Alias, " Danetki", "Cartoons". Recently, a great game for a large company called "Ekiwoki" has appeared.

"Ekiwoki": a journey into history

In the modern lexicon you rarely see this word, and when you hear it in a conversation, you will instantly look into the explanatory dictionary. It can be said without exaggeration that until recently the meaning of the word "equivoki" was known only to lovers of Russian classics and highly educated individuals. The bulk of the citizens of our country, and even more so the younger generation, did not even suspect its existence. It turns out that thanks to the creation of an interesting game for the general public, the word "equivoki" has receivedsecond life. What did the Russian classics have in mind when they used this "verbal curiosity" on the pages of their works? Translated from Latin, "equivox" means "equivalent", from French - "ambiguity". In our dictionary, this archaism means a hint, subterfuge, trick, or some word that has several meanings.

Equiwoki from the past to the future

Who would have thought that creatives from Tver would call one of the most exciting games of our time with such an intricate expression? The brainchild of Russian board game developers is still quite a "baby" - the game is a little over a year old, but "Ekiwoki" is already gaining wide popularity among fans of fun and useful time with friends. After all, "Ekivok" is not only a significant training in intelligence and wit, it is a kind of "simulator" for developing team spirit and increasing vocabulary.

Why equivocates? The game really includes every form of innuendo, subterfuge, and double entendre that exists. Plus, this is a primordially Russian product. Despite the fact that many active users consider it an analogue of more famous European products such as Alias and Activity, Ekiwoki has gone far ahead in terms of originality and variety of tasks.

Equiwoki game - what's the point?

Many board game fans immediately noted the benefits of the new entertainment. The main difference is a wider rangeassignments. "Equivoque" is not just associations and caricatures, the game includes the following elements:

• fine art;
• sculptures;
• pantomime;
• associations;
• singing;
• dancing.

In general, here you will find everything you need to have fun with your friends while playing Ekiwoki. The rules are quite simple: within a minute, a maximum of two players must complete the task indicated on the card. If the rest of the participants understood what one of the friends meant by jumping, running, drawing, dancing, reading the word backwards, "danetkaya" or just speaking in hints, then the player moves forward. The ultimate goal is to get to the attic by moving the colorful penguins across the field. The game is a team game, and the more participants, the better.

Pleasant innovations

It is pleasant to note that domestic developers have expanded not only the range of tasks, but also made possible variations on the number of participants. Now the game can be played not only by a noisy company, but also by three. The peculiarity lies in the fact that everyone plays for himself, but all participants in the competition need to guess the word. In case of a positive result, the chips of the player who guessed the task and the participant who guessed the secret word advance.

"Ekivok" is also an opportunity to fight in wit and ingenuity in a close family circle. Just keep in mind that the range and specificity of tasks is designed for an audience of 16 years and older.

Another nice innovation is that the developers do not stand still, but constantly improve and supplement the game. On the official website you can find new exciting tasks.

"Equiwoks" bring together

Today, corporate vacation has become not a forced event, but a fun pastime. From now on, the boring buffet and talk about nothing has been replaced by ping-pong, paintball, "Mafia", unusual quests and board games of the new generation.

It's no secret that many large, medium and small companies today are actively working on the principle of introducing a team spirit into the work team. Psychologists have found out that individuality, so popular in the West and perceived "with a bang" by domestic managers, is not always a positive moment for the corporate activities of enterprises. For an individual business, this is a panacea, but not always for a corporation. It is more appropriate at the stage of selections, competitions and interviews. In other words, if you are a "star" - that's good, but when you have a stellar team - it's much bigger. A positive atmosphere in a close-knit team increases performance, success and life satisfaction. But let's not delve into the psychological jungle, but back to the games.

In general, if another corporate party, birthday or just a meeting with old friends is on the nose, offer an unusual time, explain that "Equivok" is a game that really brings together without evasions, tricks and ambiguities.
