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.
