Answer three questions, click on Submit when you are done.
Once everyone is done filling out their Connect profile, you are ready to launch the guessing game. Click on 'Start Guessing'
Cycle through anonymous profiles with the answers each team member has provided, and try to guess which team member it is. Click on 'Next profile' to see more profiles.
Note: You need to read all answers on a profile to move on
