An Icebreaker Question is an inviting prompt that helps new members share something about themselves as soon as they join your Mighty Network. It’s the first thing they see when they enter a Space, and it’s designed to spark meaningful interaction and set the tone for an engaged community from day one.
Set Up an Icebreaker Question
Enable the Feed Feature
Go to the Space where you want to add an Icebreaker Question.

Choose a simple, direct prompt that encourages sharing, such as:
“What’s one thing you want to get from a community of peers?”
“What is your #1 goal for this year?”
“Where do you want to be in five years?”

What Members See
When new members join the Space, the Icebreaker Question is pinned at the top of the Space Feed.
Members can browse other content immediately, but they must answer the Icebreaker Question before posting in the Feed. This ensures their first contribution is intentional and helps establish a meaningful connection from the start.
Once they submit their response, they can post freely throughout the Space.
Keep the Conversation Going
After your Icebreaker Question sparks that first connection, deepen engagement with regular polls and questions. These tools help you surface insights, spark conversation, and keep your community active.
