Each and every member worked in harmony with others.There was synergy in work.Role definition at the start of the project helped identify the strength of each member which was put to subsequent use in structuring the site.

Regular contact over mail and thinkquest portal helped the members to be in constant touch over the devlopments and sharing ideas became very easy too.

The members of the team belong to different states of India, speak different languages and follow different customs and traditions.

But games are something which is beyond all these differences.It is played by every child irresepective of the place he hails from . The regional differences helped them to learn more about various games played locally. Surprisingly an element of discovery happened because they learnt about new games which they did not know about before.

Added there was joy when they learnt that popular games are played in different parts of the country and there is a variation in the way it is played and that each one is unique.
