Hand out office superlatives your coworkers will laugh at
Office superlatives are a year-end party staple, but a public vote can turn a joke into a sore spot fast. Make one Rankd for each superlative, add coworkers’ names as options, and share the links in Slack, Teams or email. Everyone ranks privately from a work computer or phone, and the result shows the full order, so the reveal at the party lands as a laugh. Keep the titles warm: things people would be glad to win.

Free. Add your own options (these are just examples), then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- Each person ranks privately, so nobody sees who put whom first or last.
- The full order makes the reveal fun, since the runner-up gets a laugh too.
- Remote coworkers rank from the same link as people in the office.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 30 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Pick superlatives that celebrate people, like “best desk plants” or “calmest in a crisis,” and skip anything about looks.
- Run five or six superlatives at most, so people finish all of them.
- Have HR or a manager read the list of titles before it goes out.
- Give every Rankd the same reveal time, right when the party starts.
Questions
How do I run several superlatives at once?
Make one Rankd per superlative and post all the links together in one message. Each has its own result, so you can reveal them one by one at the party.
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
