Adventure Challenge

Adventure Challenge
As participants begin to gather, there is excitement and a bit of anxiety as to what this Adventure Challenge is all about. Each has just arrived from various locations across the company to create a new team identity during their time together. Adorned in brightly colored t-shirts, each team proudly announces their new team name. Then, they anxiously wait to hear the rules of the race.

Epic video footage of actual wilderness team scenarios demonstrates the parallels to the day-to-day workplace. But how can this be - so remote from the jungles of Borneo or the peaks of the Himalayas? They will soon find out!

The rules are distributed and the teams are briefed. They have three hours to complete the race. The team that earns the most revenue during the race is the winning team. Seems easy enough, but this isn’t about speed. Rather it is the ability to communicate as a team under time and competitive pressure while determining the best strategy to maximize revenues. As teams review their rules, the time clock ticks down to official start time.

And they are off! Teams engage in 5 different problem-solving activities each lasting 40 minutes. The objective is to quickly strategize and solve the exercise in the most efficient way possible. How many teams will jump right into the task? How many teams will look at the bigger picture and then proceed? Do teams recognize the ability to collaborate or are they just concerned about their own team? Who is the real team anyways?

The race clock keeps ticking as teams follow their map to navigate from one activity to another. They don’t want to jeopardize being late for the next activity or they will lose their hard earned revenue from the prior activity. The tension builds as teams collect their revenues and passports are stamped before moving to the next challenge. With one final activity left before the finish line, teams frantically work through the exercise hoping for bonus revenues. Each team is confident that they are the likely winners. But, which will it be?

The clock stops as teams’ race back to the finish line. Passports are collected to tally the final revenue totals. Teams recount their activities with laughter and disbelief at what they have accomplished while they wait anxiously for the winners to be revealed. And the winners are?
