“I was introduced to the Thumball at a meeting I attended and immediately saw the potential for use as an icebreaker and with team building activities so have purchased several different thumballs for use in my facility.”

“We used this product in a virtual environment. We ordered a ball for each of our 4 locations; New York, Boston, Minneapolis and Richmond. During a video conference, We literally tossed the ball from Minneapolis to one of the other sites (using a site located person to complete the toss to someone at their office) In only 10 minutes we were able to pass the ball around to 26 participants with each person having enough time to answer and toss to the next teammate.”
