I love these ideas! I usually ask something related to the topics we’ll be discussing or people’s expectation, more of a warm-up than an ice-breaker, but it works like a charm.
I only do games if I’m 100% sure all people feel comfortable with such things.
These are great - and I love the idea of gathering info to help you improve in your job.
I tend to start talking about food, or weather. Boring, I know, but talking about something that we’re all focussed on during the inevitable ‘just give more minutes for everyone to join’, as opposed to asking questions, often gets conversation flowing.

I like the idea of framing it as a “warm-up” vs an “icebreaker.” Going to see how folks like this phrasing next meeting. Thanks for the tip!
Tell me how it goes!!
What do you think about AI?
What's your opinion of Bitcoin?
How long before humanoid robot servants will exist in all households?
What other profession would you like to dominate?
I like these! I think I’ll use “If you had a robot butler what task would you have them do first?” My answer would be laundry.
