I ran the Jack Fruggle’s Treasure last week – and it was a HUGE success!!! It went down really well with the group of 5 teams. As I had 34 people, I nominated 4 observers and took an observer role myself – it was a good decision, it made debriefing even richer afterwards.
I set the time to 45 minutes first, but this was absolutely not enough. I added another 20 minutes and then one team did it!
The debriefing was actually fantastic, first within teams with the observer and then in plenary, where we were able to especially focus on what made the winning team win – and how this is important in “the real world”. Very, very good response and engagement from everybody, which the director pointed out to me afterwards.
Several of the participants thanked me afterwards and said that it had been a very fun but also meaningful activity.
It is a fun and engaging game but with a LOT of depth to the debriefing and take aways.

I used this at an assessment centre for an in-house talent programme and it was brilliant way to observe behaviours and emphasise the importance of working together rather than trying to out do each other.

A great activity to build trust between team members at the beginning of a long term programme

I used this in a recent induction programme for a talent programme and it was a great way to discuss teamwork, the impact of being over competitive with each other and trust.

I used Jack Fruggle's Treasure as part of a session on High Performing Teams as I wanted to make the session more practical and have a focus for the Five Dysfunctions theory. I gave the minimum 45 minutes and both teams very nearly got there within the time (I did extend for a few more minutes), although one team did need a bit more in the way of hints than the other. I ran the activity, then introduced the Five Dysfunctions of a Team and asked them to reflect on the activity and how the Five Dysfunctions played into their team interactions. We had a good discussion about why they were reluctant to use the Pass Cards (they had 10 each) and why they didn't consider working together as one larger team. This was a useful aspect as cross-functional collaboration is a hot topic in my organisation at the moment and I had intentionally labelled the groups as "Group 1 and Group 2" rather than "Team 1 and Team 2". I will definitely be using this activity again!
