Product Details
expand_circle_downDelivery Information
expand_circle_downWe ship worldwide from two distribution centres (the USA and Australia,) depending on the item and the quickest and/or most economical route.
How much is shipping?
Once you’ve entered your full postal address at checkout, the shipping cost will be calculated automatically and shown before you complete your order. Note: if you live in the USA or Australia, shipping is free as soon as the value of your order (excluding subscriptions & digital products) exceeds $150.

FAQs
expand_circle_downHow is this different from free no-prop games I can find online?
Every activity has been road-tested globally and comes with practical facilitation guidance, not just instructions — so you’re working from what’s proven rather than what merely sounded good in a blog post. Each one also links via QR code straight to playmeo’s database for further support.
What are the QR codes for?
Once you’ve entered your full postal address at checkout, the shipping cost will be calculated automatically and shown before you complete your order. Note: if you live in the USA or Australia, shipping is free as soon as the value of your goods (excluding subscriptions) exceeds $150.
How does this compare to Count Me In?
The core difference is props and group size. No Props’ 150+ activities require zero equipment and suit any group size, while roughly half of Count Me In‘s activities call for a simple prop, and all are built for large groups specifically. About 20 activities appear in both. If you regularly facilitate large groups and want maximum variety, both are worth having; if you need a strictly no-equipment toolkit, No Props alone will serve you well.
