At Seals Direct, we always try to add creativity to our holiday festivities. For our 2024 Christmas party, we’ve put a unique twist on the classic board game Guess Who. Instead of the usual faces of people, we’ve swapped them out for photos of seals! And to make it even more fun, we’ve given each seal the name of one of our current employees. Yes, that’s right—our team members and their spouses have been temporarily transformed into a colony of adorable whiskered seals!
Imagine trying to guess who’s who, only to find yourself squinting at a line-up of seals with a moustache or eating a freshly caught fish. “Is your seal wearing glasses?” won’t be a question you can ask in this game! The usual traits like hair colour and glasses are completely off the table, but don’t worry; our seals have plenty of personality to go around. Now, the question that you should be asking is “Does your seal look like it has just stolen a fish from a fish buffet?” or “Is your seal wearing a top hat?”. Our seals have developed quite the range of expressions, and it’s hilarious to see our team try to guess who’s who based on such unconventional clues.
Of course, this version of Guess Who is entirely in line with our companies marine-loving spirit. As we flipped through pictures of curious, playful seals, we couldn’t help but chuckle at how easy it was to assign some very human-like personalities to each one. There is something about seals that just makes them perfect for a game like this—each seal has its own unique look, whether it’s the innocent pup that somehow got named after our most mischievous employee or the confident, alpha seal that’s obviously channeling our sales team leader.
One of the biggest challenges was coming up with seals that could match the quirks and traits of our team members. We learned that seals, much like humans, have a wonderful range of expressions. Some seals look like they’re pondering the mysteries of the deep, while others seem like they’re ready to dive into a new adventure—perfect matches for the personalities at Seals Direct!
Our Seal-Themed Guess Who has been a big hit around the office, with everyone trying to match seals to their colleagues. In a way, it’s like we’re getting to know our team members all over again, but this time through the eyes of their seal doppelgangers. And let’s just say, our group has never looked better—those big, glossy eyes and blubbery smiles are winning everyone over.
We’re excited to roll out our new game at the Christmas party, and we’re sure it’s going to be the highlight of the event. After all, nothing brings people together like a bit of friendly competition and a lot of seal antics.
Here’s to a season full of laughter, joy and a little bit of flipper-flapping fun. Happy holidays from all of us at Seals Direct — and our seal doubles!
