Bringing Big Timer to Life at Sonic Lobby Studios

Big Timer is more than a game. It’s a mirror. It reveals how we think, how we react under pressure, and how we navigate the world of clients, products, and business trade-offs.

There’s something magical about getting people into a room, putting a game in their hands, and watching the transformation unfold.

That’s exactly what happened when we hosted a special Big Timer game session at Sonic Lobby Studios in Kuala Lumpur. We owe a big thank-you to our friends Phoebe and Taiyo—founders of this audio branding studio—for generously hosting us and sharing their vibrant space with us and our guests.

Sonic Lobby Studios was the perfect setting for our strategy game. With its clean aesthetic, creative vibes, and acoustically rich environment, it set the tone for an experience that was equal parts engaging and enlightening. It’s the kind of space that makes people feel both relaxed and inspired—and for a game like Big Timer, that’s exactly what we want.

From Hesitation to Connection

Most of our guests were friends and contacts who had never played Big Timer before. And as with many things unfamiliar, there was a bit of hesitation at first. But what we’ve come to learn from hosting multiple sessions is this: once people start playing, they open up. They laugh, they reflect, and they begin to see themselves—and their business decisions—through a completely new lens.

Big Timer is more than a game. It’s a mirror. It reveals how we think, how we react under pressure, and how we navigate the world of clients, products, and business trade-offs. It sparks storytelling and invites vulnerability. And it always—always—leads to deeper conversations and connections.

By the end of the session, everyone was chatting like old friends.

A Taste of Penang

Because we believe in creating memorable experiences, we added a little Penang flavour to the day—literally. We brought along tambun biscuits (also known as tau sar pneah) for everyone to enjoy. It was a small touch, but one that added warmth and familiarity to the room. We love blending business with culture, and food has a beautiful way of bringing people together.

Designed for Trainers, Coaches, and Facilitators

Our mission with Big Timer is simple: to equip trainers, coaches, and facilitators with a powerful tool that sparks deep thinking and engaging discussions.

We designed Big Timer to be flexible, fun, and full of insights. It’s perfect for workshops, retreats, teambuilding days, or leadership programs. It gets people talking—and more importantly, thinking about the decisions they make in business.

If you’re a coach, facilitator, or trainer looking for a unique way to engage your audience, Big Timer might just be what you’ve been looking for.
