The original Connectiles became one of playmeo’s most popular team-building activities – but its cryptic clues were designed for adults. Connectiles 2 brings the same collaborative puzzle experience to high school students, with clues that are challenging but accessible. Beta testing confirmed what we hoped: adults love it too – ready to download, print and play in minutes.

How You’ll Use It
Print the tiles onto cardstock (preferably 210gsm or heavier) and optionally laminate for durability. Distribute to groups of 2–8 people and challenge them to assemble the grid as quickly as possible. The varied clue types mean different students bring different strengths – some will spot the visual connections, others will crack the numeracy or literacy links. It’s a natural way to get every student contributing. Use it in class, during orientation days, in youth programs, or as a team-building warm-up.
