How St James’ Hospital hosted Quid Game for International Nurses Day, powered by Ralli

Game On

Inspired by the elimination style format made famous by Squid Game, contestants faced a series of fun challenges designed to test their problem solving, creative thinking and patience under pressure. Round by round the field narrowed as staff cheered each other on, turning a normal workday into a memorable celebration.

Breaking Down the Silos

One of the best parts of the day was that contestants were deliberately grouped to compete against colleagues from different sectors and wards rather than their usual teams. It meant nurses, support staff and administrators who might not typically cross paths got the chance to team up, compete and bond over a shared challenge, building relationships that will carry back into the day to day work of running a hospital.

More Than Just a Game

Events like this are about more than fun and games, though there was plenty of both. They are a chance to pause, recognise the people who show up every day to care for others and remind staff that their hard work does not go unnoticed. By hosting the Quid Game Event outdoors on International Nurses Day, St James Hospital gave its team a well deserved break to celebrate together.

It is a great example of how a little friendly competition can go a long way in building morale, breaking down silos and creating a workplace culture where people genuinely enjoy showing up for each other on and off the ward.
