I haven't attempted to code anything of this sort, but if I were building such an activity from scratch, I would probably use Groupthink's AddOnlySet to maintain a set of team names, and provide a UI on startup to allow users to select an existing team or create a new one. Teams would then be represented as some very general object like a CausalDict (a shared python dictionary), accessible as self.group[team_name]. Groupthink is not actually capable of providing access controls, so competitors will be able to "cheat", either by altering each other's state or by observing secrets. I am generally content to let the UI be responsible for preventing "cheating". --Ben
