At the start, all participants are randomly and anonymously assigned to groups of six. You work individually to create a response to a question. 

You are then presented with all the responses from your group. You must select the entry that best reflects your group’s overall sentiment. 

Your choice auto-populates into your text entry area for you to enhance according to instructions. This process repeats for each new question, which build upon previous questions to fully explore the event topic. 

Synanim tracks your selection choices to compute your score using two components, an entry score and a vote score. 
 

Your entry score is based on how many people selected your entry. It measures how well you communicate.
 

Your vote score is based on how many others selected the entry you chose. The vote score measures your empathy to group values. When you choose an entry that most others also select, it demonstrates your empathy and understanding of what the group will like best.
 

At the end of the session, the person with the highest score in your group is chosen as your group leader to move on to the next round. If they are unable to participate further, they may opt out and the person with the next-highest score will be chosen.
