Game Context

Survival Games

Do you have what it takes to survive in extreme conditions? How about your team?

Discover all these answers (and more) while enjoying this all-time classic activity in a more gripping online environment!

Survival games (powered by Gaminar.net) are fun exercises where groups evolve into teams as they communicate, build trust, synergize and engage in collaborative problem solving and decision making.

Whether you choose Arctic Survival, Desert or Ocean Survival, your team will go through two stages: first, individuals prioritize available objects according to what they believe is the most important to their survival. Second, the team gets together and negotiate a single ranking of the same objects – the team ranking! Which will be better?

Unexpectedly, teams often register better scores than the best individual score from the first stage – it is a very powerful argument for teamwork.

Negotiations within the team can get really heated, even more so when people feel they know better. Not unlike daily interactions! So, dealing with these situations while also being pressured by time is a powerful lesson.

Unleash the potential of your team with Survival Games!

Unleash the power of correlation and help participants express themselves through their chosen photo!

Expressive (powered by Gaminar.net) offers a full set of original photos, which allow participants to become masterful communicators and use their favorite photo as visual aid while sharing their ideas with the group. Whether used as an ice-breaker, during the introduction, or at check-out, this activity engages all participants.

Participants can share more complex ideas in a clearer way, as including visual aids adds a whole new level to communication.

It is an activity that includes 50 unique artistic images that helps participants make instant associations with their experiences, emotions, aspirations, realities and more.

Pixtory

Engage your team in this fast-paced activity which really puts active communication to the test!

In Pixtory (powered by Gaminar.net), each participant receives a photo, which is a zoomed-in version of someone else’s photo. In the least amount of time possible, teams must describe their photos and place them in the right order, from the most zoomed-in to the most zoomed-out photo.

Efficient communication and paying close attention to details is key to the team’s result, as each wrong attempt will charge the team with one extra minute. Placing all photos in the right order and in the fastest time makes a winning team!

The photos are so complex that it’s really easy to miss relevant details!

It’s paramount to really pay attention to other players, as the smallest detail may change the order in which to place all photos! Everybody needs to be fully present and explain everything clearly.

The hard part is to identify the balance between being brief and being complete... a challenge we also face in our daily lives!

Trust the process, stay focused and everything will make sense! By the end, victory will be so sweet!
