How To AI@Work Playground
Round tables
Facilitator
Card
Seven tasks, 28 minutes of work, and no slack anywhere in the run. Mixed AI literacy — assume a third have barely used these tools.
The run
Timing
00 – 03
Frame & set upTables make their group and add you to it. QR up on screen.
03 – 05
Live demoTwo minutes. Generate one mascot on screen so the beginners have watched it happen.
05 – 09
TASK 3 — Real or NotPost the five items. Four minutes, hard stop. No tools needed, so it warms the whole room up.
09 – 10
Name the objectAnnounce the Task 5 object. Point at it. Say it twice.
10 – 28
Open workTasks 1, 2, 4, 5, 6. Circulate hard. Suno call at 12, time checks at 18 and 24.
28 – 33
TASK 7 — The DeckAssembly only. Announce that nothing new gets built, only collected.
33 – 38
Featured liveAnthems, beamed photos, object images side by side, product pages. You drive.
38 – 40
Scores & closeLeaderboard, winner, one line. Do not overrun the slot.
Set before you go on
Two things to fill in
- Your name and number go in the blue box at the top of the participant page. Tap to type on the day, or edit the two marked lines in the file to set it permanently. Tables add you to their group in Task 1 — that group is how everything reaches you.
- The Task 5 object. Walk the hall beforehand and pick one thing every table can see and get to: a sculpture, a signage panel, a light rig, a structural feature. Enough detail to be describable, enough oddity to be hard. Avoid anything with text on it, or the task becomes reading.
Minutes 3 – 5
The two-minute demo
Generate one mascot on screen while they watch. Say the prompt out loud, show the result, change one word, show how much it moves. That is the entire demo.
Why it matters here
A third of this room has never generated an image. Two minutes of watching it happen removes the barrier
that would otherwise cost them the first eight minutes of the clock.
Do not demo Suno or Gamma. You do not have the time and both are self-explanatory once someone starts.
Calls from the front
What you say and when
Minute 12
If your anthem is not generating yet, start it now. The whole room is on the same free queue. Fire it off
and go back to the other tasks while it cooks.
Minute 18
Ten minutes of building left. If you have not opened Gamma yet, one person should start the product page
now — you need it for the deck.
Minute 24
Four minutes. Finish what is open. Do not start anything new.
Minute 28
Stop building. Everything you have already made goes into one deck. You are collecting, not creating.
Five minutes.
Watch for
Where this goes wrong
- Tables where nobody has used these tools. Sweep the room during the demo at minute 3 and mark them. Each one gets a floater standing behind it for the whole session. Highest-value thing your team does today.
- The Suno queue. Only real latency risk. If it is badly backed up by minute 16, announce that a lyrics-only submission still counts — that releases the room instead of stranding it.
- Gamma sign-in. Second risk. It needs a Google login and some tables will stall there. Tell them one person signs in, shares the link, and the rest work off that.
- Teams still building at minute 30. The deck block is assembly only. Say it firmly or you lose the featured segment.
- Task 5 turning into a photo task. Words only. If a table is uploading a picture of the object, stop them — describing it is the entire point.
- Overrunning. Featured live is five minutes and it will want to be twelve. Pick your clips while circulating, not live.
Task 3 · answer key
Real or Not
Post in this order. Three synthetic, two real. Nothing here is a giveaway — the arc runs doubt, then punishment, then paranoia.
ITEM01
Street market — SYNTHETIC
File
generated_1785935136833.png
Tells
Background faces that do not resolve.
Hands and feet at middle distance. Whether the overhead wires connect to anything possible.
Small background signage.
Expect
A genuine split. The scene is ordinary enough
that most tables will not look for the tells at all.
ITEM02
Hands tying a shoelace — SYNTHETIC
File
generated_1785934643605.png — or the alternate
take, generated_1785934693373.png. Pick whichever reads better on the screen.
Tells
Almost none, and that is the point.
Expect
Most tables call this real. Hands were the
giveaway two years ago and everyone in the room still believes that. Say so at the reveal.
ITEM03
Yashobhoomi interior — REAL
Source
Shoot this yourself on the morning.
A wide shot of the hall or the atrium. Your own photo, so provenance is beyond argument.
Why
The architecture is dramatic enough that a good
part of the room will call it a render. This is the item that punishes blanket scepticism.
The reveal
That is the building you are sitting in.
Let them look up and check. Best moment in the task.
ITEM04
Office pantry — SYNTHETIC
File
generated_1785934579032.png
Tell
The wall calendar. The date grid is garbled
and the numbers do not run in a valid sequence. Nobody zooms in.
Expect
The hardest of the five. It is deliberately
mundane and badly shot, which is exactly why it works.
ITEM05
Anything from your camera roll — REAL
Source
Your desk, your breakfast, traffic outside your
office. Genuinely ordinary.
Expect
By now the room is paranoid and will over-call
it fake. That is the note to close the task on.
How to score it
The reasoning matters more than the call. A table that says "fake, the clock is wrong" has done the work.
A table that says "fake, it just looks AI" has not, and should not score the same. Say this before you post
item one, or you will get five one-word answers.
The prompts — and the line to land
All three were made on the pro image model. Read one aloud at the reveal, or open the locked panel
on the participant page.
Item 1 — street market, 3:2. A candid documentary phone photograph of a busy Indian street market in the late afternoon… ordinary flat daylight, slightly hazy, dust in the air, unremarkable colour, mild handheld camera shake. Nothing composed or beautiful — an unposed snapshot taken while walking.
Item 2 — hands, 4:3. A tight, honest close-up… every finger correct and clearly formed, short bitten nails, visible knuckle creases, a small healed scar… nothing stylised or beautiful, it should look like a snapshot with no artistic intent at all.
Item 4 — pantry, 4:3. An unremarkable, slightly badly-taken smartphone snapshot… harsh mixed lighting, mild overexposure, slight motion blur, a little sensor noise, imperfect white balance leaning green. Composition is careless — the counter edge cuts awkwardly, there is dead space at the top.
Say this. Almost every instruction in those prompts is a subtraction. Badly taken. Careless composition. Unremarkable colour. No artistic intent. Left alone these models make beautiful pictures, and beautiful is the tell — the realism came from asking for flaws, not from asking for quality. Thirty seconds, and it is the sharpest teaching moment in the whole session.

The locked panel · unlock word: KETTLE
There is a small button at the bottom of the participant page — how did we make those images?
It asks for a word before it opens, because the prompts give away which items are synthetic and Task 3 runs
at minute 5. Announce KETTLE at the very end and let them open it themselves. To change the word,
edit the marked line near the bottom of the participant file.
Do not use anything off the web for the real items
Provenance is unverifiable and it puts someone else's copyrighted photo on a screen at a commercial event.
Both real items are yours.
Minutes 33 – 38
Featured live
You drive the screen throughout. Nobody stands up. With this many tables of strangers, asking for volunteers is where the energy dies.
- Three anthems, 20 seconds each, loud. Biggest reaction in the session.
- Six beamed photos, quick succession. Do not comment on each, let the pace work.
- The object, side by side. Put a real photo of it up next to four tables' generated versions. Sharpest moment you have — same object, four completely different readings of it.
- Two product pages, opened live. Read the headline aloud.
Choose all of these while circulating. Queued before minute 33.
Scoring
Keep it light
Ten points per task, seventy available — kept off the participant page deliberately so tables chase the fun rather than the maths. Score on your phone as things land in the groups; do not wait until the end or you will not finish.
Your tie-breaker
Anything that could have come from any other table halves. Use it when two tables are level, and name the
specific detail that made the winner's work theirs when you announce it.
Most tables land four or five tasks. That spread is what makes the leaderboard worth announcing.
Before you go on
Prep checklist
- Your name and number filled into the participant page, and your phone ready to be added to a dozen groups.
- Task 5 object chosen, and a clean photo of it on your phone for the featured segment.
- Real or Not: three generated files on your phone, plus the venue shot taken that morning and one photo from your camera roll. Answer key section below.
- QR to the participant page on the holding slide, left up for the whole session.
- Audio playback tested through the stage PA. The anthems are the peak and they need volume.
- Two colleagues briefed to float. Tell them to look for silence, not raised hands.
- Your own Gemini open and signed in. Do not sign in on stage.
- A visible clock.
- Remember to announce the unlock word — KETTLE — in the last two minutes, so tables can open the prompts panel.
