Split into small groups and had to do a variety of activities including role playing, selling a specific toy, answering random lighthearted questions. After the activities, they will call out names of people who made it to the next round of interviews. This part is just a short 1:1 interview
Relaxed, group activities initially before managers call back individuals for one to one interviews. Three activities included advertise a toy, improvise a story, hot seat questions. Managers consult together before listing specific people who have passed on to the main interview.
