Chopsticks help diners practice picking up small bits of seafood before moving on to freshwater stilt fishing. Stick to it with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of sushi at Big Eye Sushi Bar in Scottsdale.
Big Eye Sushi Bar's South Korea–born chef Yohan Yun wrangles never-frozen fish, house-made soy sauce, and crisp veggies to forge a menu of sashimi and maki that leave little room for rice. Citrus hamachi ($14) dresses yellowtail and avocado with spicy ponzu and sumiso sauce and spritzes the creamy-firm combination with orange, lemon, and ocean juice. Sea life swims up to gentle heat in the Surfer roll ($14), with subtly spiced shrimp showing off Yun's signature sauce. Among simpler bites, nigiri ($2–$7/two pieces) spotlight everything from quail egg to flying-fish roe. A concise drinks list lets Asahi Japanese beer ($7/22 oz.) or glasses of cold Otokoyama sake ($7) quench thirst and mustache-wax fires.

The Groupon Guide to: Office Icebreakers
Icebreakers help new hires get to know more tenured employees, and vice versa, by encouraging everyone to share personal info—such as names, hobbies, and places on their body that bruise easily—in a fun way. Here are some games you can use to make new best work friends:
Two Truths and a Lie: Share three facts about yourself and let the rest of the group tell you which one they had hoped you were lying about.
Never Have I Ever: Each person in the group is given 30 minutes to talk about things they never accomplished because of a lack of self-confidence or a disease that makes joints stiffen into mannequin limbs.
Ball, Ball, Bread Slice: Quickly pass a football, soccer ball, and slice of bread around a circle. If someone gets stuck with all three at once, the game is over.
Uh-oh, Emergency!: One person lies on the floor, pretending to be unconscious, while everyone else tries to guess the "unconscious" person's name. The person who guesses the name correctly has to "wake" the "unconscious" person by administering real CPR.
