Time:
This game can be played in about 45 minutes. In total, allowing for discussion and evaluation, we recommend allowing 75 minutes.

Aims:
• To test participants abilities to see the bigger picture.
• To reflect on the impact a silo mentality can have on organisational performance.
• To test teamwork, collaboration and communication skills.
• To illustrate the importance of trust in team and organisational success.

Skills and Behaviours Tested:
Analytical skills, strategic thinking, attention to detail, problem solving, teamwork, collaboration, communication skills, trust.

Group Size:
You will need a minimum of three and a maximum of four teams for this activity. We recommend creating teams of 2–3 although you could have people playing individually too. If you have more than 12 participants, we recommend having multiple games running at the same time, to avoid teams becoming too large.

Useful For:
Staff at all levels, but particularly perhaps those new to management and leadership roles.

You'll Need:
• The optional complete game pack (coming soon).

Or

• The game board and counters.
• A die.
• A set of movement cards for each team.
• A bag. (If you have the game pack, you can use the one the cards come in.)
• A copy of the team brief for each team.

Notes:
Although the teams are offered preparation time, they don’t have to use it all, in which case the game could end more quickly (probably with a less successful result than might have been achieved with more teamwork/collaboration). If teams don’t use the preparation time, it’s likely there’ll be more to discuss afterwards, so overall timings are likely to be similar.

We have provided a more eco friendly 'low ink' version of the game board and cards to reduce ink usage when printing.
