As the tech leader fee is double the price, it might be worth looking at, as the money goes into beer for the team in the end. An even softer approach would be to just give points and the person with the high score has to bake a cake in the end.

As long as this is done in a fun way with a little wink and not to but blame individual persons, it could work. As soon as it becomes a real punishment or could cost a developer a relevant part of the salary, it will get very serious and can cause more trouble than it actually solves (in my opinion).
