## Prompt

```text
Suggest icebreaker games for a social group that doesn't know each other well.

**Event:** [e.g. "book club's first meeting", "church small group", "new neighbors' potluck", "hiking club"]
**Group size:** [NUMBER]
**Ages and mix:** [DETAILS]
**Space:** [seated around a table / standing room / outdoors / online]
**Time for icebreakers:** [e.g. "15 minutes"]
**Things to avoid:** [e.g. "no touching", "some guests are introverts", "no personal or religious questions"]

Give me 5 options, from very low pressure to more playful. For each:
- Name and how it works in 2-3 sentences.
- Time needed and group-size limits.
- What I need to prepare (cards, name tags, nothing).
- How to introduce it in one sentence so nobody groans.
- An easier version for shy guests.

Rules for good choices:
- Nobody should be forced to share anything personal or perform alone.
- Prefer games that pair people up or mix small groups over going around the whole circle.
- Avoid anything that can embarrass someone or single out a difference (age, money, body, background).

Finish with my top pick for this group and why, plus 10 easy conversation questions I can print on cards.
