2. The RH Totem game

Totem was born from the shared vision of 3 friends who wanted each person to become aware of their value through the eyes of others. The concept of their Quebec game is based on totemization.

Totem Original Card Game

Available in French and English, the original Totem card game has sold over 150,000 copies in 33 countries. Its reputation among recognition games is well established! Presented in a beautiful box, this game for 3 to 8 players contains 80 " Animal " cards and 80 " Quality " cards, for 6,400 totem possibilities.

Totem offers your employees the opportunity to discover their strengths and qualities and receive a good dose of love from their colleagues. It is therefore a powerful tool for peer recognition. In turn, each participant attends the creation of a totem in their image. This is made up of an "Animal" card, associated with a strength, and a "Quality" card. These 2 cards are chosen by the other players.

Simple and effective, Totem can be used in a variety of workplace contexts. Whether it's to improve your employees' self-esteem, strengthen communication and cohesion within your teams, or create a climate of trust and mutual respect, every occasion is a good one to play the "game that feels good."
